Life feels a lot like a fight. A long complicated fight. There are a lot of things we’re fighting for each day. We’re fighting for things we believe in and things we want. We’re fighting for people that we love. We’re fighting to know the truth in a world where, well, We are not really…
Be Still
Maybe you read the story for yourself. Maybe you just read the teaser in my previous post. Maybe, if you’re like me, the events of Exodus 14 are still whispering promises of hope to your anxious heart. The same whisper of hope given to a nation of people conditioned to abuse and captivity. A concept…
Nowhere to Turn
In this legendary story we’ll discuss today, the landscape of this group’s entire existence and identity is about to be significantly altered. They’ve been slaves, and it is time to be free. Their owner finally releases them, and they go. They step out…a whole nation of people to leave captivity and follow a leader named…
Every corner of my life
In this space, we’ve been chatting about this thing called fear. As we learn to fight this fear we begin to ask where it comes from, what it looks like, and wonder why it doesn’t fight fair. When it comes down to it, we really just want to know what we’re supposed to do about…
Maybe. Just Maybe.
We have an enemy. He will twist anything and everything if that means he can take from us, leave us desperate, and ultimately destroy us. He’s been studying us humans for thousands of years, and by now he understands us better than we understand ourselves. He wants our life so full of confusion, regretful decisions,…
Where did it come from?
They grasped for control. They did what they wanted. It seemed good in the moment. They took a bite, realized they were naked, and they felt shame. Suddenly, they wanted to cover up. They ran to hide. They were afraid. We’re out of control. We don’t know what we want. We don’t even know what…
The Choice is Mine
He knocks at my door. Piercing eyes meet mine. With a quick grin he greets me and reminds me what I deserve, what I’ve worked so hard for. He knows what I really meant and how I’ve been misunderstood. He shows me what I’m entitled to, and reminds me that I don’t have it. I…
Another Funeral
2 years ago, I would have had a list of things I thought I should tell you to do that matter. I don’t have that list anymore. I don’t think that’s how it works.
Lively Hope
Hope is a word I probably use 100 times a day. Lately, I’ve been asking myself what hope really is, and what that truth means to me? Especially in these recent uncertain times. You and I often use “HOPE” to express something we wish will happen, but in the pit of our stomach, we really…
What am I thinking?
If you leave me alone with the “What if?” question, I can literally set up the absolute worst case scenario for the entire rest of my life in about 5 minutes. As you may already know, over a year ago, I got a scary chronic diagnosis. (https://goletgo.org/2019/10/10/crushed/) People from every corner of my life came…
