Have you ever been so close to something but yet so far away? The excitement is palpable but yet you dwell in the land of quiet. A foreshadowing of events that sends shock waves throughout your senses. But then silence. An audible stillness with no movement detected. A change in citizenship to limbo. The welcome mat of …

Struggles with discouragement have …

Let's discuss the journey of those intentional/unintentional words or actions that cause an unsuspecting cheek to turn. But whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn …

Onesimus Moments

On By Kelly ComeauxIn November 2018Leave a comment

Running, running, running. We are always running somewhere and always in a hurry. In life we find ourselves running to the grocery store, running after our children, running to catch up or sometimes running away. Running away is what I like to refer to as an Onesimus moment. Onesimus was a runner, a cross-country runner …
