As someone who was once held captive for many years by the darkness of substance abuse and lie-based thinking, this is where I collect my thoughts on life. Here you will find personal stories and reflections from my own journey, and my story of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and how he has changed my heart and mind.

Keeping our eyes open
The Earth is full of truth and hints that point to our creator, if only we will open our eyes to them. Creation itself screams of God and his wisdom, majesty, and power. Our modem world is increasingly running away full speed from truth and is in fact often offended by it. As a result, life becomes more and more unstable and crazy. In my opinion, the Bible is another creation that is an absolute miracle and reveals God's love for and his wisdom given to our broken world. It never ceases to amaze me how I can read something in the Bible ten times and then read it again one day and God shows me something in there I never saw before, and it's always just at the right time when I need direction on something. Sometimes when I read a scripture I'm reminded of a truth I already knew and just needed a refresher on. There is a peace that exists when we have a relationship with Jesus, but it doesn't cultivate itself. We need to be spending time in his word regularly, seeking his guidance and instruction for our lives and to be praying regularly. It's a relationship. He's always there waiting for us to come to him.
