Putting things into perspective this Christmas
Perhaps Christ came in a manger to foretell the story of your glass slipper. Were you holding out for a hero? A knight on a white horse, in shining armor. Maybe we were looking for something similar. But the birth of a King in manger isn’t so you can have an ordinary life. The ultimate…

Blissfully Broken
Today, I am reminded they no longer control me. Maybe I am broken, but I am blissfully broken. The mind is a powerful thing. Will. I had it. I wanted to survive. I did. I endured. I prayed. God answered. I didn’t get to where I am today because this life was handed to me.…

If you’re going to wear red, wear it boldly
Travel fills an yearning for the stories we hear and read about, creating lasting photographs within our memories. With Cessna, doors become runways leading me to places I never imagined. I find myself in Madrid. So with Cessna inside me, I roamed the streets of this beautiful city in search of answers to questions I…

Crazy like Noah
Let your faith be bigger than your fears That seems so obvious and for Noah, I am sure he was afraid that he looked like a fool in front “society” and he was, he was absolutely crazy to build such an enormous boat. But doing so saved his family. Sometimes we can be so engulfed…

Did you pay attention?
I can’t stress it enough how important it is to appreciate what you have while you have it. Life can change so quickly and we don’t even realize it.
