God Give Me Strength

There are days where it’s hard to pick a verse.  I don’t know if I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed, didn’t get enough sleep, had a nightmare that I don’t remember, or what.  On those days, it can be a struggle to even pick up my bible, let alone actually worship.  I dread those days.

On the other hand, I tend to find that those days where I have to fight to get started are the ones where I see God move the most.  It’s the times when I feel like I’m forcing myself to go to church because {INSERT CHEAP REASON HERE} that I most often see the most amazing works.

God gives me strength.  That doesn’t mean I’m not tired.

Matthew 11:28-30  Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.(ESV)

Who am I?

I’ve walked a path I didn’t ask for, guided by a God I can’t ignore. I don’t wear titles well—writer, teacher, leader—they fit like borrowed armor. But I know this: I’ve bled truth onto a page, challenged what I was told to swallow, and led only because I refused to follow where I couldn’t see Christ.

I don’t see greatness in the mirror. I see someone ordinary, shaped by pain and made resilient through it. I’m not above anyone. I’m not below anyone. I’m just trying to live what I believe and document the war inside so others know they aren’t alone.

If you’re looking for polished answers, you won’t find them here.
But if you’re looking for honesty, tension, paradox, and a relentless pursuit of truth,
you’re in the right place.

If you’re unsure of what path to follow or disillusioned with the world today and are willing to walk with me along this path I follow, you’ll never be alone. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate as much as they feel comfortable with.

Now, welcome home. I’m Don.
