Humanity
Intercession . Content Warning.
When I was younger, and even now, from time to time, I get frustrated with God. I question God in my heart. “Why do you put such heavy burdens in my heart for people? I see their suffering a mile away.” Walking miles in the shoes of other people leaves me feeling so worn down and exhausted. The sadness, the pain, the need for healing, and the desire to see people free from addiction… It all adds up and it feels overwhelming to my heart. Empathy is a gift and huge responsibility from what I am learning. Empathy is used by God to bring people to action. I’m called to act and follow the compassion or burdens that are God-given. It’s beautiful and exciting. Sometimes it feels very urgent, in how I should respond quickly to the brokenness of others before me. Here are some questions I ask myself: Is time running out for people? Is time running out for me to respond? What limits do I have? How can I rely on your power more, God?

Friendship Breakups
Friendship breakups, do you think they are easier or harder to deal with than romantic breakups? I feel like this topic is rarely discussed, and since I just recently went through one of a friend of 25 years I wanted to weigh in on the topic. In our society we put so much emphasis on how hard romantic relationships are to maintain, and how hard they are to get over. In my opinion friendships are just the same if not harder to maintain and get over.

The Ideal Christmas Gifts I would l Would Love To Have. What's Yours?
Christmas morning is almost up on us again and there are lots of presents that will be opening, especially by children, because the season has now moved well away from it's intended purpose - to celebrate Christ's birth - to focusing on commercial concerns, like acquiring material possessions.

Four Years Later...
I haven’t written anything in quite a while, and after reading this you may understand. I took time to make some major life changes, suffered some expected setbacks, and wanted to settle in and create some semblance of normalcy before I tried to put it into words.

Long Distance Relationship. Top Story - December 2023.
"I love you." Do you though? Do you really love me? How do I know if your being truthful? How do I know you aren't lying to me? It's not like I can just walk out of my house to come see you. That's the lore of a long distant relationship... you never know if one is being faithful or not.
