In the MIdST
This morning I was looking back in my journal to previous entries. Lately, I have been rolling over in my mind how awkward this holding pattern in my life is.

My Testimony
I’ve always felt that I didn’t have a clear testimony. I’ve always thought a testimony had to be a sudden miracle or personal transformation.

Anytime I hear the word pieces, I think of Reese’s Pieces. Although they are not my favorite candy, I do like them sprinkled in popcorn at the movie theater. If there was some random trail of them on the ground, I would definitely follow it to see if there were some that had escaped theContinue reading “Pieces of the Past: A Peek into Future Purpose”
