Welcome to My Journal!
UPDATE: I’ve moved my regular writing to Substack! This is now my archives.
Here on my blog, I love to write personal stories, truths I’m learning from studying Scripture, lessons I’ve learned from those wiser than me, and what God is teaching me through writing.
I’d for you sit back in your favourite chair while the little ones sleep or while you’re on break from work and read a bit of what I’m thinking on these days. Feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts of your own!
How Novels Carried Me Through Suffering

In wisdom we look to a future that is promised, not a future that is proven by our past.

Slowness to speak isn’t just for our benefit, but for all those who will hear our words—and words usually only grow wiser with time.

You know Bilbo Baggins. After his long journey, he returns a different hobbit. We were made to do the same.
Scarcity and Abundance
What does it mean to trust God when it seems he’s dealt scarcely with us? In my scarcity mindset, I became much like the dwarf, Thorin Oakenshield, in Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
