    The Darkest Season

    It’s been a while since I last posted something of personal significance on this blog. I’ve been posting The Friday Muse each week – small writing snippets full of fiction and fancy – but I haven’t been posting much else besides that. For that, I apologize.

    A Season of Struggle

    June 9, 2015 /

    Not going to lie. It’s been rough as of late. Even before I left California on the 800+ mile journey back here to Arizona at the end of April, I was battling emotional demons. I didn’t want to leave California. I didn’t want to move. Not really. It seemed smart logically, but the fact is, California has always had a special place in my heart. It’s where I was born. It’s where I ventured to numerous times in my adolescence. It’s where most of my extended family lives. Most of all, the weather and geography are more than favorable compared to Arizona. I prefer forests and oceans to desert and…

    For The Sake of the Call

    April 20, 2015 /

    Many of you know that I proclaim to be a writer. And to many of you, when that statement is made, you probably envision me sitting at a desk, building imaginary worlds and creating imaginary characters to fill those imaginary worlds. But to be honest, when I say that I am a writer, the statement means so much more than a simple proclamation of interest or career. Many years ago, I was faced with the choice to either settle down in Arizona to pursue writing or to move to Seattle, Washington to pursue Bible college. Seattle seemed like the ‘right’ choice. I mistakenly thought all Christians were called to ministry…

    Goodbye, California

    April 2, 2015 /

    It’s been two years since my family and I made a ridiculous leap of faith and moved to the Bay Area. To be honest, it feels like ten. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t lost and confused when we first moved out here. Our initial reason for moving was to help start a church plant in the heart of San Francisco. For our family, that fell through months after we moved here. From that point on, it was an overly challenging and incredibly emotional ordeal to find our place out here and to figure out where this place fit in with God’s plan for our lives. Two years…

I haven't been to a movie in months. Going to the I haven't been to a movie in months. Going to the theater is probably one of the things I have missed the most since the quarantine began. Once I heard Fat Cats in Gilbert was open once again, I decided I needed a night out with myself, even if it's to see a movie I already saw months ago -  Jumanji: The Next Level. (I also got a haircut! 😄)

Some days seem harder than others to get through. Some days seem harder than others to get through. Yesterday, my brother and I (and my son) worked on both of my cars from 8am to 1030pm. I am grateful to have two vehicles, but both of them have been on their dying breathes for the last 6 months now, and it's everything I can do to keep one or the other running enough so I can just get to work every day. Yesterday consisted of a new radiator, thermostat, A/C recharge, power steering pump adjustment, hose replacement, battery replacement, and multiple trips to AutoZone. Both cars still have issues to be resolved - and some issues that cannot or are not worth resolving. I am exhausted and hoping to be able to save some money soon - instead of spending it on car repairs - so I can get a more reliable car and not have to do this every other weekend. 😔
