Last week we talked about how we can embrace our workplace or our season of unemployment. Today let’s talk about something that is needed in every aspect of life: relationships. We have relation with the people we work with, but we also have deeper connections such as romantic relationships and close friends. Let’s start withContinue reading “This Moment: Relationships”

This Moment: In the Workplace
We’ve been talking a lot about experiences lately. Instead, let’s talk about what God has for you in the moment. Whatever situation you are in or wherever you are at right now, you are in the right place at the right time. God has placed you in this moment, in this place, in this job,Continue reading “This Moment: In the Workplace”
Experiences That Shape Us
Every single thing we experience is going to shape us in some way. What I mean by this is that the circumstances in our life will mold us into the people we are today. Think about a pile of clay. When we were born, we were raw clay, untouched by anyone. Then life came andContinue reading “Experiences That Shape Us”
My Testimony: Part 4
In addition to my mental health problems and epilepsy, I was also diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism in 2019. Your thyroid is the butterfly shaped gland in your neck and it regulates pretty much everything. The autoimmune disorder is caused when antibodies in the immune system start to attack the thyroid cells thinking the antibodies areContinue reading “My Testimony: Part 4”
The Brutal Memories
We all have those really deep and dark memories. The memories that we try and shove as far away as possible. Although the brutal memories aren’t fun to think about, they are important when it comes to looking at the full picture. We all have that certain memory when someone said something hurtful.

My Testimony: Part 3
Bright lights flashed dramatically through my closed eyelids. Patterns of green and blue swam in geometric circles. I felt dizzy from squeezing my eyes shut. “Good job. You may open your eyes now,” the nurse said. I opened my eyes as she pulled the strobe light away and I tried to focus them on theContinue reading “My Testimony: Part 3”
Focus on the Feeling
Life can be so busy sometimes that we forget to focus on what’s important. It’s always go to school, go to work, go to sports practice and be in this club and do this activity so that you don’t get behind. In a world that’s so intent on getting ahead, sometimes we feel like weContinue reading “Focus on the Feeling”
My Testimony: Part 2
I was sitting in a room with beautiful decorations. A diffuser was humming next to the window and I was playing with a squishy ball in my pocket. I liked coming here but I never knew what to talk about. I would talk about what I did during my day and then leave. I neverContinue reading “My Testimony: Part 2”
Childhood
How does it feel to look back on your childhood? Are memories resurfacing? Memories of fear, loss and abandonment? Memories of anger, distraught and sadness? Memories of hope, love and happiness? Think back to when your story began. Whether your childhood was full of good or bad memories, those memories shaped you into who youContinue reading “Childhood”
My Testimony: Part 1
In the spring of 2011, my dad, Brian Dickinson, left to climb the highest mountain in the world. He ended up summiting Mount Everest on May 15, 2011. For more about his story, you can find his book here. Although Everest may be my dad’s story, his story is still part of my own. IContinue reading “My Testimony: Part 1”
