Bad Days

If there is one thing that I am sure of is that God has a plan for my life and that He is in control of every detail. Life has taught me that bad days have their place in my story, even though I may not always know it in the moment. Moreover, I've learned… Continue reading Bad Days

My Lawyer

For those of us who are imperfect and trip and stumble along the way, I have good news. We have a lawyer that intercedes for us and serves as a mediator between God and us.

What I love most is that… Continue reading Sing, shout, dance

Damaged Goods

I remember a conversation I had with a friend some time ago, where I was worried about past mistakes getting in the way of ministry. I can recall his answer as if it were yesterday, "So now you're tainted? Damaged goods? No, you're not". His words marked me and reminded me of Paul's writings in 1 Corinthians 1:28… Continue reading Damaged Goods
