Faithfully
“It’s been a long year, it almost took me down, I swear…” It has been around a year since I made a blog post. I never intended to go that long between posts, but…life. We’ve been busy doing the good things, the hard things, the everyday things. That line from the Toby Mac song “Faithfully”…

God is in This Story
I remember the first time I realized God is real. I’m not sure how old I was – probably around 8 or 9 – but I remember it was a beautiful day and I was playing on the sidewalk in front of my house. I looked up to the blue sky as I breathed in…
