shifting perspectives.

shattering stereotypes.

breaking boxes.

see the beauty in broken things

healing begins when we stop judging broken things and start restoring them.

do you ever find yourself complaining or idle about the problems you see all around you?

this blog is an invitation. an invitation to be a dream do-er. to be someone who sparks & inspires rather than sulks and sits. read this and walk away different.

nothing you can take from me (pt. 3)

let the world take what it wants — I’ve got something it can never touch.

this isn’t just a poem. it’s a bold resolve to stand firm when life caves in, to hold tight to what can’t be taken. read it when you're ready to fight back with peace, purpose, and identity that can’t be taken away.

how could the fullness of God be contained in a man?

how could the fullness of God be contained in a man?

“God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him.” Colossians 1:19. Him, being Jesus. How could the fullness of God be contained in a man? How could perfection dwell in sin? How could this great love come as a baby and one day sprawl out his body on the cross? I invite you too see how I answer these questions with adoration and deep thought.
