Are You Too Far Gone for Jesus to Save You?
Have you ever read through the first few books of the bible? You know where Moses saves the Israelites, and they are incredibly ungrateful and wished to still stay in slavery. God has promise them their own promise land and shows them miracle after miracle, yet their belief and faith is majorly lacking. That’s my […]

Verse of the Week: Your Degree Doesn’t Define Your Life
I have seen so many photos this week of those graduating, especially from college. Graduations are such an exciting time in so many ways. It can be a new beginning of going out into the real world. For some people this is a moment of transformation. From here on out life is going to look […]

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?
To think you are worried about what others have to say or think about you really hurts my heart. I am probably not the best person to discuss people pleasing because I very much have an “I don’t care” attitude. But I have had moments in my life where I was craving validation from my […]

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 […]

Why Aren’t You Satisfied With God’s Miracles?
Just a couple things I have read this week that have given me a good number of things to think about. First: Ecclesiastes 1:8 “No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content.” Second: I read Matthew 14 where Jesus walks on water and […]

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 […]

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 […]

Verse of the Week: There is Purpose in Your Pain. Just Trust God.
Verse of the week: 1 Corinthians 6:14 NLT “And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead.” To think we just went through a week where it was the most depressing time to the most rejoicing time in the matter of three days. To […]
