We can always start again No matter what No matter when We have the opportunity to resume Anything Our faith our relationships a project we started and didn’t complete We always get a second chance on repeat no matter how many repeat performances We can always reignite or spark a new flame when life becomes […]
It’s amazing the things that will come to you when you finally let go. When you stop wishing, wanting and waiting for a star to fall or to become one yourself. When you give up the rat race while still holding onto the dream. You loosen the death grip and let Jesus take the wheel. […]
In the non-traditional fashion of the new year, I resolve to resign from any kind of pressure I consciously or unconsciously seek to place on myself. I refuse to sign up for every impulse that speaks to that place and part of false sense of lack. That whip that cracks and strikes from behind […]
