A Life Worth Living

I woke up this morning with a heavy heart of sadness.  My heart grieves the process of loss.  And never in a million years did I see this coming.
If each one of us actually sat down together and were able to open our hearts to the depths of emotions that lie in there I can [...]

A couple of months ago I had my 26th birthday.  I was with a couple of my girlfriends on vacation in Maui.  Our last day was spent on my birthday going to the beach, laying out, having lunch and packing our bags to head back to Sunny Southern California.  For some reason turning 26 wasn’t [...]

In the last couple of weeks, I have immense myself into many changes in my life.  I started a new job last week working as the Dean’s Assistant at a local Christian college which led me to leave my old job I was at for two and a half years.  I moved into a new [...]

Last year I ventured out on a missions trip to New Orleans to help with relief from Hurricane Katrina.  I remember when our church launched the “GO Campaign,” at our church.  I knew that I wanted to be a part of this movement that was taking place.  With all the different places to choose from [...]

“But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be son’s of your Father in heaven…” Matthew 5: 44-45.
