I Am His
I Am His I am more a sinner than a saint. Yet the Father calls me righteous without restraint. Not because I have any merit, but because of the Lamb’s blood spilt on Calvary. O what is man that You are mindful of him? My heart is bursting with Your deep love, my King. How … Continue reading I Am His
There Is More To The Story
I have taken a long pause on writing. Traveling, moving to a new house, studying Thai, working in the ministry and everything in between has taken up so much of my time: I just can’t seem to sit down, to look closely at an idea and write.

Jason was set to meet a friend in Ao Nang (the nearby beach town) for breakfast and a … Continue reading The Weight Of Grace

Not to say that everything else about it is less essential; but, for reasons I am not … Continue reading What Prayer Looks Like To Me
Try Jesus
It was a balmy night in Krabi. The air was light, and it felt good against my skin. I was sitting alone in the comfort of my room completely immersed in the world of the book I was reading; I was savoring every minute of the moment. I had felt weightless in the confines of … Continue reading Try Jesus

I Will Sing Aloud
I absolutely love to worship — to sing aloud to Jesus. For Jesus. It’s one of the many beautiful ‘perks’ of knowing Him that I truly enjoy. I believe He created music so He can speak to our souls and we can connect to Him in a powerful way that mere words cannot satisfy. Oh, … Continue reading I Will Sing Aloud
