But Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray. ~Luke 5:15 NASB
Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, And gather you from the west. ~Isaiah 43:5 NASB
These things I have spoken to you to that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. ~John 16:33 NASB
There are a lot of troubling things going on all over the world right now. Whether you agree or disagree with decisions being made, I think we can all agree that the current state of affairs is troubling. As we watch events unfold we cannot help but think and worry about the impacts on your personal world. Our families and friends, our workplaces and places we visit all are feeling the effects.
I am in the midst of many changes in my personal life and the decisions often seem overwhelming. However, I trust the one who has the answers even when he doesn’t reveal them to me. I talk a lot about this in my memoir ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ฒ which was just published by Christian Faith Publishing and is available on Amazon.
I have to remind myself that I am not truly alone and there are others struggling with decisions and impacts as well. I think we have a couple of options:
Do not rejoiceย over me, enemyย of mine.

Sometimes you just need to slow down and breathe in the moment. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and with everything going on around the publication of my memoir. The other evening I was blessed to go out to the barn with my wife and daughter. It was a quiet evening just the three of us and the horses, those are the times and the memories I cherish.
As we approach the upcoming release of my memoir > ๐พ๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ค๐ฎ๐จ ๐ผ๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐พ๐ง๐ฎ as a precursor I encourage you to take a listen to the conversation with Ronit Plank as a guest on her podcast ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ฑ last January talking about life, death, grief and healing.

Do not allow a spirit of fear to run your life for you are more than a conquer in Jesus! ๐
Yeshua tells us in this world we will have trouble but he has overcome the world. Better yet he is coming back with all of heavens army.
I really like this black and white alternative image of the cover to my #UpcomingBook! I still like the colored version best but this definitely gives it an interesting feel. What do you think?

My #memoir will soon be published by Christian Faith Publishing and hopefully will be available within the next month or so.

I share my personal journey of carrying grief and healing, while navigating my own personal and the societal expectations surrounding grief that are often placed upon men.
I can’t wait for both men and the women who love their men in their lives, to read it as it is ultimately a story of hope and healing. 
I also believe my story will speak to some ladies out there as well.

My most recent submission for #PBF (Poetry Battle Friday) hosted by J.D. Greyson over on Twitter. This weeks topic/word was LOVE.
If you are on Twitter love (there’s that word!) to have you join us and give J.D. and myself a follow. It is a great community of poets and writers!

I recently sat late in the evening watching my beautiful wife crying while reading an early copy of my upcoming book. I love her heart and I am blessed. I can’t wait for you to read it also, for it is a story of hope and healing. The cover design has been approved and the book will be published later this summer.
It chronicles my journey of carrying grief and healing while navigating personal and societal expectations around men and grief. Though it is written from a man’s perspective, ladies I encourage you to read it also and recommend it to the men in your life.
Thank you all so much for your support and encouragement!ย ~Mark (Exodus 15:3)

We claim to love, we claim to care, and we claim to… well, whatever it is.
And if we are honest with ourselves how often do we fail?
I know in my case I find myself loving others how I think they should and need to be loved assuming it is all good and right. Do I ever ask them?
And what about God? I often run around trying to please him when maybe all he wants is for me to spend time with him?
Now go and learn what this means:
โI desire compassion, rather than sacrifice,โ
for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.โ
