Explosions in the Sky
“Delight yourself in the Lord also, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4.
I was 18-years-old, and this was “my verse” for the first few years of my walk with the Creator. I clung to this promise until my knuckles turned to white. Anytime I felt fear, anxiety, or doubt, I reminded myself that I was a sanctified saint… and this was enough for me....

A Day in the Life.
Preface: There was once a time when I thought I’d never leave Salem. Now, I’m in one of the most influential cities in the world: Los Angeles. I guess that’s what happens when you say to God, “I’ll follow you wherever,”? Too often, I find myself saying things to Him and not realizing what I’m really saying until it happens… this would be a prime...
Dig in.
Dig in. Dig in. When in doubt, dig in. It’s these two words that ring daily in my ears. In fact, it’s these two words that encompass my life as of late. Everytime I have a question about direction, these words fly up to the forefront of my mind… like those little cartoon birds that were in Mary Poppins.
I’ve been through some fairly hard stuff in my short 23-year-old...

Concerning Thresholds and New Beginnings
For those of you who haven’t heard the news, I made it down to LA! The 14-hour drive was… exhilarating. It consisted of coffee, great music, me singing very passionately to that great music, and me talking to myself from time to time. You know, it’s funny, when you drive on the road for a extended period of time by yourself, you start to notice the world of drivers around you....
Going Boldly Where No Man Has Gone Before(Sort Of)...
So check this out, it’s time fore me to leave. Tomorrow begins the new chapter in my life. I see the vast horizon, and the wild ocean before me, and it’s time to set sail. OR… for those of you Star Wars freaks: I see the deep galaxy before me, and it’s time to take the Millenium Falcon out and let he hyperdrive kick in. For all of you haters out there, YES my car is old...
T-Minus 10 Days and counting!
At the beginning of last week, I was faced with the daunting task of deciding when I was going to set the wheels of my tank-of-a-Volvo on the road bound for LA. September 18th rung in my ears, and wouldn’t stop ringing.
Now it’s 10 days before I leave, and reality is setting in: Salem isn’t my home anymore. Nor does it feel like it is. I’m excited, but scared. I think...

Boldly Going Where No Man Has Gone Before(Sort Of)...
For those of you who DON’T know or want better clarification: I am moving to L.A. (That stands for Los Angeles if you didn’t know). I’m finally venturing beyond the borders of the know, and treading new turf! Actually, I’ve been on this turf many times, it just sounded so much more epic to phrase it like that:)
For starters, allow me to state that I have no specific date...
Why the funny name?
I’m sure many of you are wondering as to why my address is “The Battle Queen”, huh? Well allow me to explain that before anything else. I chose it for two reasons. The first, is because it’s catchy. But, the second is that it represents us: the Body of Christ. We are called the Brideof Christ. We also call Christ the King. So if Christ is the King, and we are...
