Temporary not terminal
Experiencing pain, pruning, and delays in your life is temporary, not terminal. Just because you are in a dark and uncomfortable situation doesn’t mean it is the end to your situation. When I think of pruning, produce comes to mind. Months prior to the development and harvest of their crops, farmers have to first plant…

Broken Promises
The temperatures had fallen below zero and my limbs and heart had become cold, as did I, when I hardened my heart to God. “I’m never going to get out of this place,” I thought to myself, “Especially if I continue to wait on God.” There I was in the abyss of my troubles, tirelessly…

I’ll be back
I learned how to swim by being in the throes of the ocean, but it’s not the Pacific I’m referring to. Unlike the Atlantic, my sea of suffering had no end to its depth. I wasn’t surrounded by your sea creatures, discarded waste, and sunken treasures. Instead, I was encapsulated in the swallows of debt,…

Temporary not terminal
Not everything you go through in life will be terminal, a lot of it will be temporary. Although the pain you feel may be intolerable and unbearable, it won’t always be there. The trials and tribulations won’t always be severe. The tests God gives you won’t always be overwhelming. The seasons you go through won’t…

Progress after the mess
Life will throw you many curveballs and present you with unexpected hurdles, but even when affronted with trouble, you’ve still got choices. Either you can be defeated or you can choose to overcome. Some things God place in our paths is not to stop us, necessarily, but to see how and if we react to…

Ready to eat
“Is anyone else ready to eat from that table God promised to prepare for them in the presence of their enemies?” (Psalms 23:5) It can be difficult waiting to be fed by God, especially when He doesn’t tell you when dinner will be served. Although you may be ready to feast, I for one certainly…

Something is coming
Elijah had Elisha to continuously go to the mountaintop during the midst of a drought because he knew something was coming, and the rain eventually fell. Noah built the arc because he knew something was coming, and the flood eventually came through. God sent Jesus to save the world because He knew something was coming,…

He knows
Just like God knows your name, the number of hairs on your head, the trials you’ve gone through, and the pain you’re suffering, He knows it won’t be for long. I am mentally and physically tired and have been for almost four months. It seems I have been running on E forever and I keep…

Worrying about when
I speak a lot on worrying, and I’ve learned it is one of the most debilitating forms of anxiety. You’re constantly on edge and looking for bad things to happen, because your mind sends an overload of signals to warn you that something will (although it usually doesn’t). Oftentimes I’ll have anxiety for days on…
