This one was so fun to write and lean into a more cinematic sound! I pray it is a reminder of the hope we have in heaven🤍

“For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains until now. Not only that, but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits — we also groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. Now in this hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees? Now if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with patience.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭22‬-‭25‬ ‭

For the past year and a half, I’ve been on an inner journey rooted in curiosity, grace, and the unraveling of deep-rooted shame. I’ve laughed. I’ve cried. I’ve connected. I’ve felt rejected, and I’ve truly been rejected by many.

And yet, as I sit here today, I don’t think I’ve ever felt more loved because, for one of the first times, I can genuinely say that I am living my life.

It’s strange and beautiful to look in the mirror and feel proud of the person looking back at me, no longer the boy who grew up hating his appearance, his desires, or so much of his own experience.

I’ve been learning to befriend my inner world and to understand the difference between being nice to myself and actually being kind.

Kindness desires every part of me to experience the love, connection, and belonging I was made for, that God made all of us for.

I’ve made decisions this past year that parts of me might look back on and call mistakes. But even those experiences have been stewarded into something meaningful. They have shaped me into the more deeply mature, emotionally aware man I hope to keep becoming.

I’ve had situationships and relationships. Kisses with men I’ve regretted and connections parts of me still miss. I’ve learned that growth is rarely clean and nuance can be messy. Being a gay Christian in Lynchburg carries so much complexity.

London & Oxford, England 🇬🇧

Twenty of my favorite shots from my recent trip to the beautiful U.K.! All photos shot on my Nikon Coolpix - took a risk not bringing my mirrorless and love how these turned out.

“at the crux of celebration and uncertainty, lies immense gratitude”

recently, i sat with a friend to share how i had been so frustrated with myself -

“i see Jesus doing such beautiful works in my life and bringing so many wonderful new changes - i just don’t feel i am celebrating well enough. deeply enough. loudly enough.”

gently and with a looooot of grace, she offered that maybe i was experiencing the grief of the transitions more than i realized. she was surely correct because the thought hadn’t even crossed my mind - not one bit.

it felt unlike myself to not celebrate deeply. it also felt undeserved to grieve the changes that i had prayed for. my counselor would use the word “disorienting” here.

however, i find the most steadying place is when i grasp gratitude’s hand and follow her lead. she is a friend in every season and weathers both joy and grief with me. her pace is even - no rush, no running, no chasing one feeling over the other. she simply delights in lifting my gaze to the One who gazes back at me.
