As I stand on the shore of the beach and the waters of the ocean cool my sunburnt feet, I stare out into the horizon and remember an audio I love called “Bring Me To The Horizon” by Chris Brady. One sentence that Chris said in that audio has always stood out to me everContinue reading “Letting Go of Fear”

The Darkest Valley
“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.”-Psalm 23 It’s 12:45am and I was suddenly awaken from my sleep. I walked out of the bedroom to get a glass of water and started taking deep breathes. My anxiety and stress were starting to increase.Continue reading “The Darkest Valley”
Switching Chapters
When people ask me “How are you doing?“, it’s really hard to describe how I’m feeling with a one word emotion. I’ve started to come accustomed to sharing this analogy. Imagine you are a writer and you give the editor you are working with a draft of your book. Now imagine that editor reading overContinue reading “Switching Chapters”
They Just Don’t Know
“Hi! Thanks for shopping with us today! How are you doing?” “Hey neighbor! Haven’t seen you around for a bit. Everything okay?” “Wasn’t your wife pregnant? How is she and the baby doing?” The hardest thing about being in the general public is that many just don’t know. When asked “how are you doing?”, IContinue reading “They Just Don’t Know”
Empty
The crib, the bassinet, the car seat, the highchair, the changing table, and our arms all have one thing in common; They are all empty. There are no sounds of our daughter crying. No diapers that need to be changed. No looking over the crib to watch Leah sleep. Nothing. It’s empty and silent. MyContinue reading “Empty”
Now What?
The cards are opened. The food has been eaten. The out of town family is gone, and we said goodbye & see you soon to our little girl Leah. As my wife and I were walking the other night, I said to her “Now What?” We know that the grieving process is going to beContinue reading “Now What?”
Holding On To Hope
“Congratulations!” “She’s so cute!” “She has your eyes!” Those were phrases my wife and I were looking forward to hear, not, “I’m sorry for your loss.” “My heart breaks for you two.” “I have no words.” In three hours, our dreams and plans for our first child completely changed. On July 28th, 2021 around 2:30am,Continue reading “Holding On To Hope”

“Amen” “Awomen”: A Wake Up Call For The Church
I’ll admit, when I heard about the pastor closing a prayer with “Amen” and “Awomen” before the Congressional Session began, I thought it was a joke. I looked up the video just to watch it myself to hear the prayer and how others in the congress would react. To my surprise, there were crickets. WhileContinue reading ““Amen” “Awomen”: A Wake Up Call For The Church”
Stand Strong
Let’s face it, 2020 isn’t the year any of us planned. In fact, for many it’s been an exhausting and tiresome year. With the Covid-19 Pandemic, social issues, and the U.S. Election, and not to mention our own personal problems, many are running on empty. As a reader, you probably can relate. As we approachContinue reading “Stand Strong”
