Uncategorized – The Journey is Real

Heal With Me Healing is not linear and hope ebbs and flows. That is what I continue to tell myself as I become a little better, a little stronger, a little healthier and a little more self-aware every day. This site has been relatively quiet for the last two years. Writing for public consumption hasContinue reading

Bleeding Out

One of my favorite stories about Jesus is found in Mark 5 after his encounter with Legion. If you have not read about Jesus and Legion, check it out. If there was ever any doubt that it is impossible to be “too far gone” for the mercy and grace of Jesus, Jesus’s encounter with LegionContinue reading “Bleeding Out”

Give It To Me NOW

By Cassi Cox Prayer and worship tend to be much different experiences for me than they are for those I share community with. It’s taken some time for me to recognize that this difference affects how I engage in faith-based community and the trust that I develop with other members of my community regarding myContinue reading “Give It To Me NOW”

Joseph and Potipher’s Wife

Flee from Sexual…Assault? If you have been in church circles for any length of time like I have, you have heard the sermon about fleeing from sexual immorality. The example given for this “flight” is often Joseph, in Genesis 39. In this story, our Pastors tell us, Joseph was tempted and he fled from theContinue reading “Joseph and Potipher’s Wife”

Sodom and Gomorrah

By Cassi Cox Have you ever gotten up during service and left, or even just taken a break mid-message? I never used to. I felt guilty, walking out during the message. I thought about how it impacted the pastor, seeing someone leave and not come right back. Over the course of the last year, IContinue reading “Sodom and Gomorrah”

Silent No More

If scrolling social media when I have 47 other things I should be doing is my toxic trait, you’re all coming down with me. Don’t even make that face; you know it’s true. Scrolling when I should have been cleaning is exactly what I was doing when I stumbled upon a post from a casualContinue reading “Silent No More”

“A People United Will Never Be Divided”

Cassi Cox I was watching a fabulous Hulu Dramedy this Sunday afternoon while navigating my way through laundry mountain when I heard this chant in a protest on screen. I’ve heard it before. You probably have too. It’s been used in countless protests for years. “A people united will never be divided”… It gets usedContinue reading ““A People United Will Never Be Divided””

Cross Country Saved My Life

I know, I know. It sounds so melodramatic. It’s true though. I’ve written before about my Jr. High Cross Country Coach being the first adult to tell me that my life could be different, and that I didn’t have to live the same life as the adults I was surrounded by. Coach B was theContinue reading “Cross Country Saved My Life”
