As season change I think it’s characteristic of the heart to want to vent, offload, evaluate and refocus. And I think that’s why so many of us begin to reflect on unmet goals and disappointments toward the end of the year. We joke about relationships we’re ending and challenges we’re taking on, but sometimes instead …
For most of my life I lived on what I call the fringes of faith. I was saved, but just saved. I wasn’t committing any of the ‘big sins’, wasn’t skipping Sabbath service to go shopping or having sex with my boyfriend, so in my mind I was fine. I lived my life searching for …
