humility // confidence

something to meditate on today. my life should be characterized by these two words which are in not antithetical. humility in knowing who I am, where I was and how I should now serve. confidence in knowing whose I am and what he has called me for and that he continues the work in me. [...]

Uganda // the travel part

This has to be one of the most lively groups I’ve ever been on a trip with. Several of our team have never been overseas, or have not been to Africa and so they are super jacked about the work that is ahead for the next few days. The trip so far is routine…really long [...]

Uganda // An Invitation

In just under three weeks, a team of 12 people will be leaving Cornerstone Church for a week of work in Buloba, Uganda. Here’s a video that I’ve posted before that will give you a brief snapshot of the story that God is unfolding there. Our purpose in traveling to Buloba is to be a [...]

insecurity // my hope

Removing a mask. I struggle with insecurity. There. It’s out there. After processing this for quite some time, I think it comes from several places. The first is that I have a very works based mentality when it comes to relationships because of my understanding growing up of how I related to God. I felt [...]

if // listen

Haiti. Can’t quit thinking about it. Can’t stop my mind from running about what will be next. Hope that this stays in front of people and that we don’t go back to normal. I think about things to joke about with people or things to say to people, but it seems more often than not [...]

Haiti // needs an answer

A quick update about Cornerstone Church’s response to Haiti. 1) We are giving financially to the situation because that’s one way to immediately help, though it is only a start. More on this at a later time. For now, know that yesterday we focused hard as a body of believers to be responsible in this [...]

haiti // a start

Haiti: This tiny nation has experienced one of the most devastating disasters in history. The damage is catastrophic and it feels like the only thing we can really do is watch and wait for more bad news of what is really happening at ground zero. We’ve spent a good bit of time today researching, connecting [...]
