  • Take the Backseat to Your Worry

    Take the Backseat to Your Worry

    It’s not always best to call shotgun. When I was younger, my grandparents or parents and I would take a trip to Pigeon Forge every summer. Most of the time my younger brother and a few cousins would go along too. So there we were, packed into the back seat of this small, four door…

  • Shipwrecked on the Island of Your Promise

    Shipwrecked on the Island of Your Promise

    Don’t get lost in the wreckage. Anyone who knows me knows that I am an avid Disney fan. I have great appreciation for their  beautiful story lines and animation.

    Jesus is the Balance

    We find ourselves endlessly searching for the balance, forgetting that stability is only found in Him. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” -Mattheww 6:33 I’m one of the least coordinated humans on the face of this earth we’re living on. To prove…

  • When the Path is Dark

    Life can be dark, so how do we see? My grandmas property that her house sits on has several acres most of which is covered by trees, brush, and overgrown grasses. Prior to my grandfathers passing, to conveniently get around the place paved paths through all of the brush. Just some old dirt trails, some…
