What is that something that you always thought would be cool to do/learn but have put off, don’t think you’ll be good enough to do, etc? Why aren’t you going after it? Too much money? Too much time? I used to use excuses for things I’m doing now and still unfortunately use them for other [...]
What is Freedom?
What is your personal definition of freedom? The right to do what you want? Maybe something to that degree? I’m going to share with you a wonderful description I read recently from the book single, dating, engaged, married (which I highly recommend for anyone in any life stage). “Freedom is not the absence of [...]
Don’t follow your heart!
Would you follow a leader that is inconsistent? One that is flippant, and you’re not sure when their feelings and mind will change? Of course not. We need consistency. Truth. Especially in a world that is so backward, we need clarity. Why follow your heart when it desires things it shouldn’t and changes on a [...]
I don’t need you
A wonderful thing about the time we live in is we can enjoy independence and freedom. It’s an entrepreneur-minded, self-made man attitude. There is a beauty to this ideal of “I can do it myself,” but I feel that society has taken this to heart too much. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for [...]
Starting Over? Again?
Usually starting fresh has a good connotation. The new year is the perfect time to set new goals and reset one’s focus. There is a natural motivation and urge to tackle that project you’ve been wanting to start. But, the daunting reality of having to restart something when progress has already been made can be [...]
Be Still
When is the last time you had silence? I’m not talking about relaxation, but true silence. Nobody else around, no music playing, no background noise. Just you and God. This is something I need to do more often. Even while reading my Bible, I often have some background noise going on or my dog right [...]
The Light of Life
How magnificent -- a force of unrelenting power and light -- Always present in its time. For this is how our sun works -- It does not come when wanted but when it is needed. Even when it is gone, it is still there. You may not feel the comfort of its warmth or the [...]
Developing Style
Growing up I was all out tomboy. I just wanted to do what my older three brothers were doing for the most part— basketball, building forts, playing war, video games, etc. but I always had that all-girl in me. I loved my princess movies and playing with my Polly pockets (who remembers those?). My outfits consisted [...]
You See?
It travels too fast to be able to catch, Yet it stands still. Its vibrancy can no man match; An entire chasm it may fill. At times it may bring pain and exhaustion, But it may also bring happiness and relief. Think this could be a notion? Or some silly belief? I assure you it [...]
Trust in Jesus
Despondent or discouraged though I may feel, Overcome with thoughts of anger, confusion, or sadness I may be, But to His Word I must go, and before Him I should kneel. Though I do this, it does not mean He will let me see The plan he has — the process and result. Sometimes He [...]
