Verse of the Week: Do You Believe?
You ever just been on a complete struggle bus with your faith? Like, you are having moments where you are going through the motions of being in God’s presence and things just aren’t sticking? Or maybe you are in a place where you are feeling like you are doing everything for God but absolutely nothing […]

Are You Seeing Things from a Human Perspective or God’s Perspective?
When Jesus predicts His death in Matthew 16, Peter throws a hissy fit because he refuses to believe that would happen. But Jesus responds with this: “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.” Matthew 16:23 Man did this […]

Thoughts From a Recovering Perfectionist: Walk a Godly Walk of Faith
Why do we intend on making this walk with God harder than it has to be? So, we give our lives to Christ and then we say what next. What can I do or what can I not do? We question absolutely everything because we know somethings have changed and we don’t want to walk […]

Are You a People Pleaser or God Pleaser?

Verse of the Week: It is Time to Grow WITH God!
Ephesians 3:17 NLT “Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.” For some reason the word growth and change have been on my mind for the past few weeks. I was unsure on what God was attempting […]

Thoughts From a Recovering Perfectionist: Who God Says We Are
It is incredibly difficult to believe people when they tell me I am good at something. When I played softball, I was praised for being good and had the awards to show it. When people gave me compliments on how well I played they would see my responses as humble because I honestly thought I […]

Thoughts From a Recovering Perfectionist: Identity in Christ
I am a perfectionist through and through. I always feel like if I am not doing something perfectly then I am doing it absolutely wrong. I also feel that if I am not the best at something then what is the point of even doing it? Why tell you about these wonderful qualities of myself? […]

Verse of the Week: Do Not Give Up. God’s Timing is Perfect.
To think we want to control everything when we are in fact not in control of anything except maybe how we react to things. I hope I am not alone when I say I absolutely want to be in control of everything in life. I am a perfectionist who insists on making sure life comes […]

Prayer Works if You Work
Let’s keep diving into prayer just a smidge more. There is a very popular movie, well popular in my book called Evan Almighty. I am hoping you have heard of it. There is a line in the movie that Morgan Freeman says as God that always opens my eyes every time I hear it. “Let […]
