After a period of writing hiatus, it is time to return to writing.

It feels really good to be back, and I’m glad to report that I have died quite a bit these past few months.

I felt like part of the reason why I stopped writing was because I ceased to be inspired. My relationship with Jesus was not at a place where overflow was easy. I had to take many steps back and make some significant changes in my life to make Jesus my first love again.

I learned so much about myself–my weaknesses, my brokenness, my sinfulness, and my desperate need for the life of Jesus in my life.

I wanted to come back refreshed and renewed. But instead I come back a sobered man, gripped more and more by the reality of God in my life, our insignificance compared to his glory, and the this crazy journey he still calls us on.

I feel like I have nothing to offer the world.

But something in my relationship with Jesus keeps me here writing, hoping and praying that as I write out of the overflow of my heart, that someone might come to know him, that someone would be more willing to lay down their life for the God-man Jesus.

I don’t know–only God knows. I’ll do my best to keep my pen steady hoping you might receive from a dead man writing.

Cheers.
