In the Waiting
The disciples had just three years with Jesus and they were in a constant state of change, following him from town to town, making ministry their new vocation despite the fact they were unlearned. Three years of putting themselves out there, of being rejected, being called troublemakers, and on Good Friday they could have abandoned it all. They could have gone back to their previous lives as…

Different, but still good
My pastor used this phrase to describe this season as we begin advent. This season is different. But still good. God is good. At the beginning, He was good. In 2019, He was good. Today, He is still good. In my own life I definitely see it. A year ago today I was mourning the death of my father and anxiety ridden with the stress of spending the first holiday with my fiance. Now here I am a year…

2020 Pentecost Prayer
A year ago on this Pentecost Sunday I was leading worship in multiple languages. Although the setting is different, the prayer on this Pentecost Sunday is the same: Bring your Spirit. We need your divine power in us to see your kingdom come. This year, I am praying this prayer with tears in my eyes.
This week has been difficult. The only thing I can compare this feeling to is about how I felt…

"Your Will Be Done": Jeremiah's Example
“Your Will Be Done”: Jeremiah’s Example
Because the Lord revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing. I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against me, saying,
Let us destroy the tree and its fruit; let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name be remembered no more.” But you, Lord Almighty, who judge righteously …

Put Your Sword Back in Its Place
Put Your Sword Back in Its Place
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
Matthew 26:50-52
Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the…

Horizon
The place I'm at is like coming out of a fog on a long journey. Or having walked through the night in darkness, continuing forward, knowing that eventually day would come. It's like traversing a mountain, past the point of no return, just persevering with the destination in mind and the hope of the imaginable view at the top. The fog is lifting. The sun is rising. The trees are thinning out as I…

A Prayer from Uncertainty
Psalm 108 starts: “My heart is steadfast, O Lord! I will sing and make melody with all my being!”
I felt this way at one point in my walk and I want to feel that way again. I want to be someone with a steadfast heart for God, that wants to sing with her whole being.
In the blink of an eye, I have slipped in a state of complacency, drifting. I don’t know what I’m doing- everything is…

Is this what victory feels like on this side of Heaven?
David said we would taste and see that God is good. What I wonder is, when do I get to see goodness in its fullness? In Jesus, the fullness of God, Emmanuel, God with us. This is love. This is faith. This is goodness. That a man would lay down his life for his friends. Goodness in death loss suffering. His goodness is made evident, magnified in the darkness.

Battle Cry
Lord, you keep me under your wing in the midst of this battle, you are my safety. Lord, you see me as I try to fight you bring me from darkness into the light. You keep me. You see me. When I'm feeling unworthy, as I see your glory really, I wonder what I bring to you How could you desire this broken hallelujah and shaky raised hands of a simple human? Somehow here I am, on my knees yet again and…

Hope is...
Hope is…
Having hope is forgiving what someone does because they know not what they do. Hope is still calling because that's the right thing to do. Hope is meeting someone at their darkest place And praying that they would see God's grace.
Hope is a passionate clinging to the gospel. To lose it is to lose a glimmer of your light. Hope is necessary to survive life But in itself, is not life
Hope you…

Lenten Reflection
With this Lenten season I have been reflecting a lot about where I am and where I am going. If I were to describe this season with one word, it would be “horizon”.
The past few months, I have felt like treading water. As I described to a mentor how I am feeling after getting engaged immediately follow by my father’s death, leaving a church, searching for a new one, feeling like I’ve found a…

9-10-19 Reflection
Lord, you are so good. Even when I’m exhausted and waiting. Exhausted of waiting.
But you are so good and this life is better than what I could have imagined. It’s crazy how easily we forget your goodness towards us. The memory of the darkness is like the high tide line from a storm long ago.
But as the storm rises inside and around me, I am not overwhelmed- because you are good.
Like with Noah,…

Death is not the end.
Death is not the end.
This is the story of the Davis family. But it is not just their story. It’s God’s story, which makes it my story, and now yours.
This is not easy to write. But this story is powerful because it displays the essence of the gospel. God loves us so much that he would sacrifice his own son and experience death, even just to save one soul.
I first met the Davis’ in Washington, DC during my freshman…

A New Season
One thing my summer and Panama forced me to consider is what my own education means to me. For so many, it can become an idol. Most of the time, more education means more money, more prestige, and more respect. It can change your future. It is a way to have a life different from your parents. It’s a tool to work your way up the social ladder.

God Pushes us to Grow: Jonah's Story
God Pushes us to Grow: Jonah’s Story
Jonah is one of those classic bible stories that you hear growing up, that’s in all the illustrated children’s bibles, and of course, there’s a veggie tales episode that shows the story of Jonah. Every sermon or reference I’ve ever heard about from Jonah is in reference to Jonah’s foolishness of disobeying God and trying to outrun God. There is a lot to learn about our sinful nature by watching…

Encouragement.
I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name. I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you,…
