I was telling a friend today, I feel as if I am embarking on a new level of selflessness. I read my description at the opening of this blog and how I talk about “dying to self”, and I did die to self. But there seems to be levels of this dying stuff. The truth… Continue reading Waiving My Flag

Standing in the Gap
This morning I awoke from a dream. That’s pretty common for me, I dream often. And I dream weird stuff often so sometimes I don’t know if it’s from God or from something I ate. But this dream stuck with me and usually that means it’s from God. In the dream there was a boy… Continue reading Standing in the Gap
Dear Nicole (2014)
At the beginning of the year, New Year’s Day, my friend had us write ourselves a letter that she would send out at some point throughout the year. From time to time I would remember about this letter and the fact that my friend had not mailed it. I’m not going to lie, I figured… Continue reading Dear Nicole (2014)

Less Than Ideal
You may hear me talk a lot about God’s grace and unconditional love on this blog. And that may make sense since the title is “His Love is Better than Wine”. But I don’t discuss this topic so frequently because I am such an expert in understanding His Grace and Love. I actually discuss it… Continue reading Less Than Ideal
SuMmER FuN :-)
This has by far been a FANTASTIC summer. Now summer has always been my favorite month. It’s like shaking off the layers of heavy apparel from winter and the negative temperatures is just what is needed to light up my life and put a smile on my face. I love to feel the warm sun… Continue reading SuMmER FuN 🙂
The Selfish Saint
It is both unsettling and relieving to awaken to one’s own “neediness”. Unsettling because the pride I was subconsciously clinging to in my walk with Christ is being dispersed. It is relieving for this very same reason. One cannot be prideful when one sees this unattractive quality about themselves. Or at least a quality that… Continue reading The Selfish Saint
Morning Quiet Time
This morning I spent some quiet time outside on my balcony/porch. 60 degrees, rainy and perfect. I was alone except for a mug of tea in my hand and thoughts in my head. I’ve been feeling the Lord leading me to do this and nothing else. Normally I would journal or read the bible or… Continue reading Morning Quiet Time
Moving Towards Her
We sat across from each other in the fast food restaurant which suited our needs. The tables weren’t too clean and there were noisy kids running around but they offered free wifi and that was what was important. Really it was the fact that it was a familiar environment for her and that was even… Continue reading Moving Towards Her
The Problem With Being “Needy”
This past weekend I hosted an unwanted guest. It was something I knew Holy Spirit wanted me to do and that was the main reason I did it. There was nothing outwardly wrong with my guest. She was kind and nice enough. It wasn’t until I kept dwelling on the discomfort I had with being… Continue reading The Problem With Being “Needy”
