For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. Romans 1:16 (NIV) Romans, one of my very favorite books of the Bible, I live in and out of Romans 8, but this, this isContinue reading “The devil or Jesus.”

Embrace Sacrifice
That is what Jesus calls us to. When we sacrifice, we are picking up our cross daily, we are acknowledging that Jesus is Lord over our lives, and we are trusting in who He is, in what He says, and in His plan and purpose over our lives. Sacrifice in the Old Testament, from theContinue reading “Embrace Sacrifice”
Centered on Jesus
I was reading through an old journal this morning. I was struggling with finding God, with connecting with God, with just being with Him. I have kind of been in that season lately. Not far from God, but just a little off beat. Almost like I am missing what He has for me in thisContinue reading “Centered on Jesus”
Begin with community.
I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose. 1 Corinthians 1:10 Relationships are a tricky thing. As community is built around us,Continue reading “Begin with community.”

Humble Yourselves
It’s been a few weeks since I have had the energy to put together a post. I have learned that writing a blog is something that takes time and purpose. I want my words to mean something. I journal almost every day and there are many days where I think, “Maybe I should write thisContinue reading “Humble Yourselves”
God’s Workmanship
Last week, I wrote a few quick notes in my journal. I was running late for work, something that is engrained in my DNA I think. Of course, I had all of these thoughts and feelings running through me, but did not have time to write them all down. Quickly, I wrote down a fewContinue reading “God’s Workmanship”
How do you keep smiling?
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 I love this bible verse and if you have been in the church or a follower of Christ for any period of time, I am sure you have heard it. It has to be one of the most notable verses, besides John 3:16.Continue reading “How do you keep smiling?”
