PURSUING HOLINESS

If you’re new here, this journey has three movements: a Prologue that frames everything, a Testimony Arc drawn from my life, and a set of Reflections shaped by what the Spirit is teaching me along the way. You can read them in any order, but this path follows the way the story unfolded.

Prologue

• Struggling to Be Holy – the doorway into everything. A candid look at church hurt, disillusionment, and the hunger for a real, obedient, Spirit-filled faith.

Testimony (Life Story)

• Suffering’s Blessings – childhood wounds, shame, conflict, bullying, and the early fractures that shaped my heart.
• Double-Minded – the split life that grew from those wounds and the cost of trying to serve two masters.
• Rock Bottom – the collapse that forced me to stop pretending and finally face my own sin.
• Fighting to Forgive – the battle to release bitterness and let God teach me what real forgiveness costs—and gives.
• How Confession Became My Path to Freedom – where healing became a daily practice of dragging sin into the light.

Reflections (Lessons Learned)

• Caveman or Christ – a confrontation with the instincts that keep us living small and the call to something higher.
• Widow’s Mite – the quiet, costly faith of an unlikely mentor who reshaped my understanding of devotion.
• Beggars and Thieves – grace for the fallen, the ashamed, the ones who keep crawling back to God with empty hands.

Start anywhere your heart lands. This path simply follows the order God walked me through.
