  • I've Shared It With Students: Now I'm Learning It Myself

    Since January I have been fighting to keep a goal that I've always had in the past. I usually would set a goal to read more throughout the year, but then life or school would prevent it. 

    This year I have been able to read a lot of different books, but they have all seemed to have to same theme unintentionally. 

    Not only have these books helped me on my personal journey, but also on my spiritual journey in a season of pain and searching. 

    What have I been searching for? What have these books spoken to? What books are they? What am I even talking about? 

    Come hang out and listen!
