The rain is coming down and brings refreshment.

I can barely see the diagonal droplets of water but the sound assures me that it is here.

Hope is Greater in the Darkness (Come be the Light)

The darkness doesn’t diminish or expose your fatal weaknesses.

It is an ominous cloud.

It is crashing and engulfing waves of grief.

In Process of Healing

It’s hard to write this blog post this month because it has been a season of growth and I don’t know where to start. It’s the feeling when you haven’t seen a good friend in a while and have so much to catch up on.….

Free to be Loved (a love letter)

The right kind of love will show you areas of your heart that are yet to be healed, and not use it against you. It will present it to you, matter-of-factly….
