DEAR YESTERDAY’S ME,

Remember what this day held for you. You became a little more authentic yesterday. You let down your guard more than you ever have yesterday. For a moment you allowed someone else into a place that you have very rarely done. Remember that even though you felt completely exposed it was worth it. Remember that the pain that you have been dealing with is now out in the open and that is redeeming. Remember that you have people around you that really do care for and love you. Remember that your conscious is always going to tell you the opposite of that. Remember that you are not in control any longer. Remember that what God has called you to is the most redeeming work that any one person could ask or imagine. You read a quote last night that should stick with you the rest of your life..."The word vulnerable comes from the Latin word for wound. Therefore to be vulnerable means t0 be capable of being wounded." Yesterday you were vulnerable. You took the risk of being wounded, but … [Read more...]

DO YOU LIKE MY PADDED ROOM AND MY WHITE JACKET?

I have hesitated posting this as a result of how people have freaked out in the past when I am working through things in my mind. However, I feel like someone else may benefit from my crazy thoughts...so here we go. Over the past few months I have been struggling with this ever growing discontent within my soul. At first I just dismissed it as me getting older, life changing directions a lot in the last year, my kids getting older...etc. However, this nagging at my soul has not decreased. In fact, if I am honest with myself and you, it has increased. I have been trying to pinpoint it for months. In the standards of the "church" culture I seem to have it all. I am in one of the most successful churches in the country, (so we are told by a Christian Magazine), I am in a successful multi-site location preaching and teaching every week to an incredible group of people, my family is healthy for the most part, my leadership supports me, and I am living the "American Christian Dream." So, … [Read more...]

SOMETIMES THE SUN MAKES ME ANGRY…

iphone-rain

Sometimes the sun makes me angry... Not to the point that I will no longer befriend it, mostly to the point that I want it to go away for a bit. Sometimes the clouds that cover that celestial ball of radiating heat make me happy... It brings me joy to know that there is still something that can get creative enough to cover our source of light and heat. I know that it may sound a bit morbid or to some a little bit dreamy, But I rather enjoy a soft fluffy piece of joy in my day as opposed to a blinding piece of yellow. Sometimes the rain brings me a jolt of joy... As the tears from heaven hit the ground at a rapid pace it reminds me that it is ok to lament and be saddened, the thunder clapping makes me feel as if there is one bigger than I, the lightning flashing brings me to my knees in submission every time, maybe this is the way that I was meant to live. The sun makes me angry sometimes... but other times it brings me great joy, To lay in a blanket of … [Read more...]
