My palms are sweaty. My mind is racing. I should just go home…..I’m not qualified for this! Why did you choose me God……… Almost Every time I step onto the platform on a Sunday morning or have a big project due at work, I have the same or similar thoughts run through my mind. Many of […]
I struggle with anxiety like most Americans today do. If you couldn’t tell before, I’m a bit of an introverted/socially awkward person. Crowds give me anxiety. So do thoughts of my kids getting hurt, Cancer, my job, and usually singing in front of people on Sunday mornings. It’s a character defect that I wish I […]

Have you ever been to that point where you were just done….with everything? Hit your breaking point and wanted to throw in the towel? I have…….And I did. I had drawn a line in the sand and said “I’m done.” and I walked away. Not even one year into our marriage, I walked out. I told […]
