be present

there are times where we can be so caught up in documenting, capturing or recording a moment that we miss the opportunity to be present and fully experience that moment.

freedom is not free

countless men and women have died while in service to the United States armed forces. freedom is not free and they paid a dear price for mine. I honor their memory and their sacrifice. #thankyou

being right

‘being right’ nor our multitude of rights is what’s most important. what’s most important is the impression we leave behind – the edification of others that’s left in our wake – the echoes of our love.

cleaning day

our souls are narrow unless God has entered, upon our asking Him to.

distance

the only distance between yourself and the God of the universe is that which you impose. #gentlereminder #godisnear

squint

squint out the details and trivial things until all that you see is the important. now start painting the beautiful picture that is your vivid and intended life.

despite

despite your lying tongue; despite your angry mouth; despite your addiction; despite your doubt; despite all that makes you imperfect, you’ve been forgiven and set free by grace.

hidden things

there is a great liberation in being honest with God. when my head is cleared of hidden things, my soul feels less burdened.

conquer yourself

you can’t conquer mountains, but you can conquer yourself. be slow to speak, while hastening to listen.

what’s coming next

forget what’s gone.

appreciate what still remains.

look forward to what’s coming next.
