I often say that I don't know how people go through a trial without God or a church family surrounding them. I definitely believe this even more now after having been through such a huge trial. In Romans, Paul gives us clear instructions on how to love one another in the body of Christ, and… Continue reading THANK YOU.

Where?
What happened in Boston yesterday breaks my heart. This world needs Jesus now more than ever. Yet, when something like this happens, many people will often ask, "Where was Jesus?" I'm sure people asked this question during 9/11, yesterday, and during many other tragedies.I'm guessing some might even pose this question when something hits such… Continue reading Where?
While…
Let this verse sink in for a moment: Every time I read this verse I get completely overwhelmed and humbled. That word while just sticks out to me so much. Christ did not die for us while we loved Him, were obeying Him, etc., but Christ died for us while we were sinners. Christ died for us when He didn't… Continue reading While…
Plagued.
I was reading through Exodus & the part where Moses is trying to convince Pharaoh to free the Israelites. As I was reading through the plagues God brought upon the land all I could think was, "Egypt must have been a disgusting place to live." Let's just take a quick look at the things that plagued… Continue reading Plagued.
Why Easter?
I hope you all had a happy Easter! Sadly, society has turned Easter into a holiday just about the Easter bunny, dying eggs, and getting a new dress. While, yes, all of these things are so fun (I love getting a new dress!), these things are NOT at all what Easter is truly about! The… Continue reading Why Easter?
An Easter Tradition!
Easter is quickly approaching! I cannot believe it's on Sunday! Easter was always one of Mom's favorite holidays because it's the day that we celebrate that Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is alive! My parents did an excellent job at keeping Christ at the center of holidays. Yes, we dyed Easter eggs and… Continue reading An Easter Tradition!
What Breaks My Heart…
Please note, I am saying all of this completely out of love. If you are homosexual, I love you, and so does Jesus Christ.According to all of my social media, the gay marriage debate is up for a vote again in some way or another. After seeing my news feed filled with various statuses, pictures, etc.,… Continue reading What Breaks My Heart…
Top 10 Joyful Moments.
Last week, I wrote two posts about having joy in trials and grasping the abundant life God promises. Like I said, I saw these verses play out first hand in my life. I would like to share with you my "top 10" moments of joy/abundant life that God blessed me with during Mom's journey with… Continue reading Top 10 Joyful Moments.
The FULL life.
When it comes to Jesus, there are basically two choices you can make. You can choose to follow Him, or you choose to reject Him. In rejecting Him, you choose to follow Satan. Jesus has come to this earth to give us so much. Satan has come to do the opposite. John 10:10 paints us… Continue reading The FULL life.
JOY.
When I was younger, one of the most confusing verses in all of Scripture for me was James 1:2. "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds." (James 1:2 NIV). In the world's eyes, this verse probably seems absolutely ridiculous. If we have a trial, the world thinks we should… Continue reading JOY.
