Maintaining change is hard. It’s hard because in most cases, the only thing that’s changed about your life is you. In the moment that you make up your mind, in that moment that you finally decide to commit to different, everything else will remain the same – your job, your friend groups, your hobbies, your …
In the last post I was talking about courage. We need courage to answer the call that Yahweh has placed on our lives, courage to withstand external pressure and rejection.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am going to tell you all that I wrote this blog post two times already. I have seven pages of well-written words that are only partially honest saved to my desktop. There’s a part of me that still struggles with the level of transparency that my spirit requires …
