Several years ago, the church I was going to would sing the worship song called “I Will Change Your Name”. The words of hope have sung in my heart long afterward. Part of it went like this: I will change your name You shall no longer be called Wounded, outcast, lonely, or afraid. What was [...]

Praise You In This Storm
Posted: September 21, 2011 by canvasrhapsody in belief, challenge, church, faith, God, hope, James, My Story, PrayerThe last month has been a very difficult month for Callie and me. As most of you know by now and as I wrote in my blog last month, we were expecting. Unfortunately, the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I can’t tell you that I understand why it happened. I can’t tell you that [...]

I’m an avid Discovery Channel watcher. In fact, I would admit that more than 70% of the time that my TV is on… it’s tuned the Discovery Channel. As my friends and family know, I enjoy Science and learning more about the Natural World and our Universe. So when a new show called “Curiosity” was [...]

Hello from Greece!!! It’s already been an amazing experience in many ways and I can’t wait to share pictures and stories with everyone when I get back. Isaiah 43:19 has been a verse that has been spoken over me and to me over the last six months, “Forget the former things do not dwell on the [...]

Looking back at the end of 2010, I remember being excited about what 2011 was going to bring within my church and myself. Growth, change, excitement, passion, and so much more. When the new year came, I felt ready to move mountains because everything was going so well. Then, it happened. Faster than I can [...]

I decided to fast with the church because, for one, I wanted to be on board with whatever the church was doing and I knew it would be good for me. Aside from that, I had no objective or hope for anything. As a storm system came through on Monday morning, I woke up [...]

So you’ve heard that God works in mysterious ways right? Well, did you know God works in guinea pigs? Bet you haven’t heard that one before. It’s true. God opened a lot of amazing doors for me during this Daniel Fast. It was my first time on a Daniel Fast, and even though it was [...]
He Is There

He is there. There is a place where I end. There is no more of me to give. Nothing left to control or decide. He is there. It is too big. It is my cross to bear. It is the struggle I cannot change. He is there. Between me and what is needed from me [...]
