Hello! If you’re here then I’m guessing you are:
Weary of struggling to do your best everyday;
Worried about people you love, or situations you cannot control;
Restless in reconciling what you know about God and the reality of your life;
… and you still wonder if there is a way to find peace in the chaos of a busy, digital world.
The good news is, there is a way! I know, because I have found it!
It has taken me some time, and great effort to cultivate an inner calm amid great trials and confusing events. I’d love to help you find that inner calm too. Preferably with less struggle than I’ve experienced.
How?
Well, my blog is a good place to start. It’s a repository of my trials, experiences, and tools to finding real peace. There I share strategies I’ve found over the years to bring me to a place of calm, no matter what is going on around me. I have found a PEACE that isn’t a mere façade, but a true, inner calm that has engulfed me as I have worked through disappointments, challenges, and the inconsistencies of a modern life.
What I have learned has allowed me to move me along on my path, processing and moving forward. But I must tell you this path cannot be traveled on without surrender, right? I mean, as hard as we try, life doesn’t always turn out as we hope it will. On this page, I share some of the resources I have found.
Peace is the answer, not the peace that is the absence of strife, but true peace that is internal. The peace of Shalom, that says, “I am confident that, with God’s help, I will be okay, no matter what happens to me, or around me.” Peace that passes understanding.
