I’ve recently become uncomfortably aware that my life is need of some refortification. Fortify = to strengthen; to make more difficult for an enemy to attack; to make healthier or energize. You might be wondering what I mean. Well, let’s just say that in the last months I’ve let a lot of tension and worry…

Joy For The Journey
Hi friends. I hope you’ve all had a fantastic Summer! First off, I want to start by thanking you for sticking with me while I’ve been on a bit of a pause from writing. The short version of the reason behind it is that I’ve been taking lots of extra time with Jesus and in…

Are ALL Christians Called to Pursue Justice?
Hey everyone! I hope you’ve had a fantastic start to your new year. As I shared in my last post, I’ve made it a personal resolution this year to really focus on my relationship with God first and foremost. Abide with Him each day in time of prayer and worship, and dig even deeper into…
