“And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23 ESV


I lay down my anxiety, asking for just one moment of peace

I lay down my desire for control, exchanging it for a better way

Just as fast as I lay it down, I reach back down to pick it up again 

Fighting the urge to take back the reigns, my pride trying to convince me that I know better

Little by little

Every next step 

Breathing in Your peace

Little by little

Every next step

Flushing out this poison

People over performance, grace extended to those deep in sin

Light a path to your throne without ever saying Your name

Compassion illuminates the way to the cross, forced to wrestle with a resurrection that changes everything 

When the moment is right, always be ready to bear witness to Your name 


Little by little

Every next step 

Breathing in Your peace

Little by little

Every next step

Flushing out this poison

Trusting in You no matter the outcome, willing to risk it all, but seeking no fame

Two loaves and five fish is all I have to give; multiply it through Your story

Stewarding well that which You provide, the needs of Your people crying out to me from every side 

Generations of Christ-followers standing in line, each sharing stories of a life reflecting Your glory 

Little by little

Every next step 

Breathing in Your peace

Little by little

Every next step

Flushing out this poison
