born from a series of Bible Breakdowns on Snapchat, Vessel in the Valley launched in August ‘17. here are some of my favorite excerpts:
"communication’s hard enough as is, and for me it can be like turning the Mona Lisa in my brain into a stick figure that can come out of my mouth, once I break up its limbs to form letters, punctuation. there are a lot thoughts that don’t have words, just images."
"knowing yourself means knowing what you’re capable of. actually, insert an 'intimately' before those 'knowing's, because the confidence that comes from intimacy is the fuel that will keep you going when the world says stop."
"the sound of music pleases me, down to the vibrations of the strings that are blended and magnified as I proceed. it’s fascinating to sit there and realize, “there is beauty in this room, in this air, because of me.” this lovely feeling rises up to bring you to the present so you can greet it properly."
"I like to share what I’ve learned in a way that helps others better themselves. I like to nurture and exhort. I like to create. bringing these gifts and desires together has helped me better understand where I fit and what I’m supposed to do there."
