With the start of a new school year, a million thoughts have been running through my head – most of them filled with some vanilla-flavored doubt and topped with a cherry of fear. I'm realizing that these thoughts or feelings are neither my friends nor reality, even though this anxiety feels so real…
God has been having me focus on the book of Hebrews lately. I like digging deeper and studying books of the Bible, letting my heart wrestle with different passages, pondering the words of God, and giving the Holy Spirit space to teach me His word.
As I study Hebrews this week, there is one particular passage I can’t seem to get over. It’s the last two verses of chapter three.
Can we run? O Church, will we run?
Run together, Hand-in-hand, Away from the hate, To a heaven land
A place where we can discover, Where dreams speak aloud, A place to dance, jump, wonder, Where life was first given sound
Since I was in middle school, I’ve had a secret desire to start my own bible study. I loved the idea of girls coming together, reading together, and sharing their lives with one another. Bible studies to me were like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants… but better. Still, even though I’ve wanted to do…
Though I love to write to you, do you know that sometimes I don’t feel qualified to write at all? It’s true. It’s a lie I battle every time my fingers hit the keyboard. “You don’t know what you are talking about, “ comes the evil hiss, “You’ve never been to a seminary school, you’ve…
I don’t know about you but sometimes, I feel like I have to conquer my fears before I can move forward into what God is calling me to do. Then I look back at so many people in the bible who were called “Men and Women of Faith” and they took risks, they did great…
A few days after returning from Brazil, God gave me this poem and I am going to share it with you all. I’m praying it encourages you and breaks any lie you have heard or believed about yourself. Your words do not define me. Your labels are not who I am. I am not my…
Looking back at the year 2014, I wanted to share with you an area of my life where God did some tremendous training – my first relationship. Being in a relationship is a lot different than we are conditioned to believe. Many TV shows and movies portray relationships that involve drama, lying, betrayal, and love…
I love the holidays. Getting together with family, the amazing food, remembering good times, all of it is delightful. But I also know the pressure family/friends can bring. Some ask what my plans for the future will be, others have opinions on what I am doing now, and sometimes, topics come up that target where…
This topic has been on my heart for a while. I find that many young ladies believe a guy will fix their life or “complete” them, and once they have a boyfriend or a husband, it will all be okay. Some think if they have someone who loves them, then they will learn who they…
Watch your thoughts, for they will become your words. Choose your words, for they will become your actions. Understad your actions, for they become habits. Study your habits, for they will become your character. Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny. In a very poetic way, the author is stating that your thoughts will…
This is one of my favorite videos. It’s a spoken word by Zach Cobos called “A Man’s Promise”. Enjoy!
