“Well Done!”
Recently, the Lord reminded me of one of my biggest addictions and idols: Hearing “Well done!” from others.

Is your loss a loss?
You lost something but was it really a loss? Lately, I’ve thought a lot about “loss”. In reflecting, I realized that I was in an oddly thankful mode as I reflected on the “losses” I have experienced over the years. My losses took me to where I am today. They brought me closer to walking […]
