Here’s a little piece of my heart in a video I created for my younger brother to commemorate his healing and growth over the past three years and to encourage him to continue choosing courage over fear.

share the love
I’m not real big on Hallmark holidays, especially Valentine’s Day, but since the word love is in my ministry’s name, I thought I’d write about it. There are so many types of love: love between family members, love for friends, romantic love, self-love, a love of life, etc. The dictionary defines love as an intenseContinue reading “share the love”
my favorite allergen-friendly options
This week on the IRL Blog with JRN, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite allergen-friendly options as we settle into February. I have multiple food intolerances and sensitivities to a wide variety of foods, the two biggest culprits being dairy and gluten (but there are lots of other foods, too), and IContinue reading “my favorite allergen-friendly options”
living CONFIDENTLY and COURAGEOUSLY
Lots of words seem to start with c: confidence, courage, comparison, complaints, communication… The list goes on and on. Confidence was not something I always struggled with, but it seems to be something I’m struggling with lately. It turns out that confidence – a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of own abilities orContinue reading “living CONFIDENTLY and COURAGEOUSLY”

A few of my favorite things…
Every year for Christmas, my mom suggests my brother and I ask for something we want, something we need, something to wear, something to read, and something to eat. Just in case you didn’t get all of your shopping out-of-the-way for the holidays, I’m going to share some of my favorite gifts. I was inContinue reading “A few of my favorite things…”

Waiting for Healing
365 days ago, I injured my left foot and ankle. After many orthopedics, physical therapists, treatment plans, diagnosis, etc., I’m still not 100% healed. As I write this, I am at a loss for words, which is a rare occasion. I don’t know how to share this story because it isn’t finished yet. This isContinue reading “Waiting for Healing”
The View from the Top
We all love the view from the top…but getting there, not so much. Recently, I was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In Toronto, there is an attraction named the CN Tower. It gives you the ability to see the city and capture some pretty amazing shots with your camera, but it also requires going up 157Continue reading “The View from the Top”
Anticipation
Anticipation is to look forward to something. Some of the things we anticipate are vacations, summer break, packages, events, etc. As the season of Lent comes to an end, we can anticipate the Resurrection of Jesus. I’ve recently realized how broken our world is. I mean, I knew things weren’t perfect, but as I’ve beenContinue reading “Anticipation”
