Two weeks ago, I found myself in a very long immigration line in Costa Rica. As I was patiently walking though it, I noticed a sign painted on a little wall that said, “Your adventure begins in Costa Rica.” I don’t think I’ve told you guys this yet, but my word for this year is Read more

“Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me! You have said, ‘Seek My face.’ My heart says to you, ‘Your face, Lord, do I seek.’ Hide not Your face from me. Turn not Your servant away in anger, O You who have been my help. Cast me not off; Read more

Man, it’s been a long week. Anyone else out there, just flat exhausted? Today, I’ve had this song in my head. It’s actually one of mine that I never finished. (Honestly, I wouldn’t even quite call it a song…more of a song start, if you will). Here, I’ll let you give it a listen. 🎶 Read more
