What happens when you find yourself dealing with an unexpected, difficult situation? If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you’ll see a pattern in my faith where I struggled to reconcile God’s goodness with the difficulties and trials I was experiencing. That’s because I thought that if I followed His commands, He would keep […]

We have been navigating pandemic life for over a year now. At this point, it may feel like we’ve put in “over-time” since the responsibilities in caring for our families increased around the clock.

We all have a story. Some parts we’re comfortable sharing, and some parts we’d rather keep to ourselves, especially the messy parts that require us to face our past and confront hard truths about ourselves that we’d rather avoid.

About two months ago, my pastor preached a message from Mark 4:35-41. It’s the story about Jesus calming a great storm as He and His disciples crossed the Sea of Galilee one evening after He taught a crowd. Before they left, Jesus told the disciples, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the sea”
