Have you ever had anything or any areas in your life that needed rebuilding? Your confidence? career? relationship? peace of mind? The reason I say ‘rebuilding’ as opposed to ‘building’ is because rebuilding is a lot more taxing and draining than building. Why is that? How do we rebuild?

I honestly wonder. Is balance a real concept? Or are we just chasing after something that we probably never can achieve? I mean, If we took a minute to think about it, how many of us really have balance in life? If we do think we have a healthy and balanced life, how long does that last until something else drastically changes the trajectory of our lives? Let's talk about it.

Are you really healing or are you just moving on? A lot of times what we think we have healed from actually come back to haunt us probably because we haven't really healed from them but created an illusion for ourselves that "everything is ok" by sweeping it under the rug. God is our healer and today I'd like to talk about how we can find true healing.

Isn't it hypocritical to step up on a stage and lead God's people in worship on a Sunday morning when we don't even let God lead us and allow ourselves to worship Him when we are off stage?
