Six years ago today, I began working in full-time ministry at Westside Family Church.
A lot of things have changed since then. More things then I could even begin rattling off.
But the most noticeable change has got to be my hair.

Six years ago I would have been working in a ministry while actively hiding my porn addiction. I’d be run from ministry less than six months later.

6 years ago today I was in Moree, crying on Diane’s shoulder, at one of the lowest points of my life.
And she was the one who’s father had just died.
Hadn’t thought about that in years… Redemption is very beautiful.
