For Your Encouragement


The purpose of this blog is to express ideas that God is speaking to me about. Even when the it’s informational, it’s personal. Everything is written from my perspective, conversationally.

I’m an external processor. This means I figure out my thoughts and opinions while I’m talking about it aloud- or writing. This blog provides space for that.

So enjoy a peek inside as I write ‘in the raw’. Transparent. Unapologetic. Real.
