NEW

He makes all things new.

I didn’t believe that for quite some time. I have been a believer in Jesus, pretty much, my whole life. My dad was a pastor. I went to church a few times a week. I went to all the church camps and youth conventions. I even knew that I, too, was called into ministry.

I pursued my calling at a Christian University and from there I began a career as a youth pastor.

As I grew older, I grew in my faith in God in many ways; however, I also started to lose my faith in people. I experienced many hurts and pains in ministry that began to build a chain of resentment and bitterness in my heart.

I experienced depression, anxiety, bitterness, hatred, and extreme anger towards people and towards God. I became toxic. Yet, I remained Christian.

This blog is my journey. It’s nowhere near over. However, I now know that God certainly does make all things new.

I hope that my story will help you see that you too can become new again. Because, trust me, at times it seems like it has to happen over and over. I’ve realized however, that that is just part of the process. The pruning of the toxic junk that sometimes makes it seem like we never really move forward at all.

I believe that God wants me to share my story and I believe it’s much more for me than it is for you. A reminder that He really does miracles. A reminder that I am a miracle and you can be too.

Thanks for joining me as I share my past and journey through my present.
