Stop

There are days I can be so consumed with insecurities, anxiety, fear or worry that I keep reaching for the next thing to keep me busy or occupied. But then I feel the Lord tell me to slow down, be still, and quiet my soul. It’s then that I can hear him whisper, “I love

Yearning

We are all looking for something to fill us, to be satisfied and content. There is a longing deep inside that just leaves us wanting more. But often times we try and fill this hole with other things, leaving us dissatisfied with the result. Shopping, eating, alcohol, and being famous won’t fill this void. Sex,

You Look Cute Today

  Early one morning I was on FaceTime with my husband. As we were talking he said, “You look cute today!” I kind of brushed off his compliment, because it was 10 in the morning, and I was in my normal daily attire which most of the time is work-out gear and no make-up. Not

Just In Case You Forgot

It is easy to forget who the God is we serve. Thinking something might be too difficult for him. But just remember he was the one who brought creation into existence. He made the skies, stars, and everything we see around us. He made each person that has ever existed. And not a single one

3 Words That Make Easter Life-Changing

I Have Dreams

I have dreams. I have goals I want to accomplish, I think we all do. Something deep down inside of us yearns to be let loose. And because I know that Jesus knows everything about me, I pray a lot that He would help me live up to my potential, and help me accomplish these

Failure

If there is one thing I could share starting off in 2017, it is this: YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE! You may not succeed on every attempt, you may make mistakes, make a wrong decision, or stumble sometimes, but nothing about you is a failure. I share this because I too feel this way at

Abraham Believed

I have been reading through the book of Genesis lately. It wouldn’t be something that is typical for this time of year being Christmas and all, but I have just kept up with my plan for reading it. Abraham’s story has really stuck out to me, especially since it is this time of year.   Genesis

Brokenness

It’s ok. You can hand Jesus your brokenness. I know sometimes it’s hard. It just seems safer to hold on to it ourselves, to carry it. It can be a safety net. Fooling ourselves into thinking we are protected. We can conceal it so well, making others think we have it all together. Because what
