We are taught as Americans to be independent and self-sufficient. Just shake it off. You got this. Pat on our back. But just think, if we were able to do life on our own, where would our relationship with Jesus be? He created mankind with a God-shaped void that only He can fill. Desperation is…
PROMISE OR NOT
As Christians, living in this crazy world, we take a sigh of relief knowing it’s not all there is. All might seem overwhelming here on earth but we have that promise of our next journey. It’s the better and eternal life with no sorrow or pain. A paradise filled with streets of gold, mansions, and…
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
It’s been a treat hosting my dad who’s visiting from California this week. When I asked him where he would like to visit on his nine-day trip, he had one request. “I’ve always wanted to visit George Washington’s home in Mount Vernon. It’s on my bucket list.”, he says. We both appreciate American history and…
BLIND EVEN IN SIGHT
Having others doubt in God’s promises for your life, before it is tangible, is common. Unfortunately, most people have the mindset of “gotta see it to believe it.” But as I read the story of the man born blind, the Holy Spirit gave me an even deeper revelation. Jesus spits in the mud, wiped it…
STAY FOCUSED
We’ve all been there. Tired of our job, our boss, our day to day tasks. It can make us feel weary and want to give up. We wonder if this is our purpose. There is one thing that I have found that keeps me going and with a good attitude. Knowing without a doubt that…
JUST ASLEEP
Some of us have things in our lives that we are expecting God to come through on. You may be waiting patiently in faith for promises to come to pass, prayers to be answered and hope restored. The Holy Spirit spoke to me while reading Mark 5, the story of Jesus raising the dead girl…
PURPOSE OVER PLEASURE
As far back as I can remember, I’ve had a big love for life and adventure. My mama called me fearless. I would be the first one to stand in line for the crazy roller coaster right after it stopped working, the one to jump off bridges and 50 ft cliffs. I’ve always wanted to…
FREEDOM IN FORGIVENESS
One of the most important commandments from Jesus is the requirement to love our enemies. It can seem like the hardest step just to forgive and not react. We naturally want to hold onto offense, write people off and shame their name. But God requires us to not just say we forgive because we know…
MORE THAN ANYTHING
Here I am on my flight to Vegas for a week’s work trip. I want to take a nap on this 5-hour flight but the Holy Spirit has other plans. That’s the thing with waking up and praying that powerful prayer for divine appointments. Its the one prayer that I always see answered right away….
LET FREEDOM RING
I hope you are having a relaxing and fun holiday weekend. Whether you’re on vacay at the beach, visiting family, or staying cool at home. I am excited to host my housewarming party today and celebrate God’s faithfulness. As we celebrate the 4th its always a reminder of our freedoms. I never take it for…
