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…
HE INSTANTLY WORSHIPED
Most of us know the story of David and Bathsheba. His horrible act of sleeping with His most faithful servants wife and then ordering Him to be killed in order to hide His sin. You may be able to hide your sin from man but not God. So God sent His prophet Nathan to rebuke…
THEY DON’T GET IT
One thing that always baffles me is Christians that claim to believe in the bible, who invest and commit to bible studies but don’t really believe in the impossible. The bible is full of crazy, unimaginable, over the top stories of miracles and promises fulfilled. The same God of Noah, Moses, Joseph, Sarah, Mary and…
PERFECT FATHER
First off, happy fathers day to all you dads out there! You sacrifice so much and are appreciated. I want to honor my Papa Bear as I call Him. My father is not perfect but he showed us how important it is to live morally and full of integrity. Not living by the world’s standards…
NEVER SAY NEVER
Have you ever said you would never do something just to catch yourself doing it? We as Christians mean well and we think we know ourselves so well but God knows the deepest crevices of our hearts. Here I am meditating on the accounts of Jesus being arrested. He is sitting with 12 of His…
LESSONS LEARNED
We’ve all had lessons learned the hard way, especially as young teens. We made foolish decisions, some might have had a greater consequence than others. This leads me to the life of Joseph. What an awesome story of God’s faithfulness even in our weakness. His life was such proof that God keeps His promises no…
