This time it’s different And you wonder how I know This time is different and it’s not because I have all of my ducks neatly lined in a row This time it’s different because I am different The decisions I make not just aligned with what’s at stake This time it’s different for it’s a […]
I used to care about all those frivolous things Like what other people think and the superiority of their opinions as they inflated themselves above my own I used to care how things would land How I might be perceived until I realized fear was a lie and I was done being deceived […]
I used to fear the loss of my identity if I dove all in in my walk with Christ. I never wanted to be one of “those” people. The cookie-cutter Christians that seemed fake and judgmental. I never wanted to be that. I always heard that Jesus would quench my thirsty soul and I so […]
