First in my Heart
What is the loudest voice in my mind? The voices of my loved ones, praising me every once in a while? Or Jesus’s voice telling me, “You are loved. You are created with purpose. You are saved. You are cherished. You are mine”?

I Never Want to Grow Up
Here’s the truth: I want to stay a kid forever.
Is that possible? To preserve a wild imagination in a world like this?
I’m Not Ready
This is quite the adventure. I don’t feel qualified, honestly.
But I do know that Jesus is enough when I am not. So here’s to stepping into deeper waters and pursuing Christ in the unknown–in this crazy new life as an author.
