As long as I can remember, the compelling force behind my calling is a desire to know Jesus more and to make Him known. I believe I was created for a relationship with Jesus, so growing in my relationship with Him and worshiping Him with all my heart and life is preeminent.

It's horrifying and absurd to think that there are currently more slaves on earth than at any other time in human history.

Not going to give casual worship to a God of extravagant beauty and grace!

God never seems to work at the speed that we want Him to.

We may say we value this thing or that thing more than any other, but the volume of our actions speaks louder than our words.

We get into captivity because of our foolishness and we are more foolish that we want to admit.

There's something that's not right or not perfect or not the way we had hoped or dreamed that it was going to be. But God promises that He will use everything and every moment to ultimately take us to a new Heaven and a new Earth. For now, we're stuck in the middle.
