“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33 I know I’ve written about it before (see this and this), but I love the truth and transparency of this verse.

Lessons on Healing
It’s been a few weeks since my last post (hello life). I’d like to take a moment to share some lessons I’ve been learning lately.

I laughed, I cried, and I was inspired to keep going. A couple themes emerged from that conversation, and I’ve continued … Continue reading Regarding Sacrifice
