The enemy has one goal. That is to stop us from becoming true children of God. The enemy wants us to believe as many lies as possible as a way of slowing us down. When we make mistakes, sin, fall short, or find ourselves in a place where it seems that the light can’t reach us, the enemy is quick to try to take advantage of that moment of weakness. He wants to sneak in and start screaming in our ears that we are never going to be good enough, that we are never going to be made right again, or any other lie that we are individually susceptible to.
These screams are nothing but lies.
The God we serve, our God, our Father, our Creator, is not limited by the same perceptions and distortions of time. He created beginning and end. He knows where we are and the struggles we are going through, but He also knows what the result of those struggles will be. He sees us not as we are but as we will be and He treats us as the person we will be because He is already there.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.(ESV)
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.(ESV)
Philippians 1:6 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.(ESV)
Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.(ESV)
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.(ESV)
Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.(ESV)
Isaiah 43:1 But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.(ESV)
He called each of us by His given name before He ever started to lay the foundations of heaven or earth.
Hello,
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.
