I Got a Promotion, FINALLY

September 16, 2021.Reading time 5 minutes.

I am taking a huge pay cut, the circumstances are not ideal but I’ve finally been promoted to the position I’ve always desired. Last year, I was supposed to get this promotion but got in my own way.

It’s taken me months of reading to admit that I’m still in the book of Genesis. Earlier this year, I set out on what I thought would result in me reading the Bible more. I knew I wouldn’t finish the entire Bible by the close of the year but I thought I’d get at least […]

Happy New Decade!

January 1, 2020.Reading time 1 minute.

Feliz año nuevo! Happy new year! Fanatic or critic, the year has changed and something “new” is here. If you are a resolution person, just know that God’s reconciliation saves us beyond any new habit. If you have dreamed up lovely goals, you might want to give them up. Surrender this year to God because […]
