Lay the Foundation Right

A couple of years ago, my family and I took a trip to Chicago. It was a family summer trip to see as much as we could on as little as we could as quickly as we could. When we got to just outside Chicago, we decided to take the train into downtown. This allowedContinue reading “Lay the Foundation Right”

Ready Up!

Isaiah is such a rich book of wisdom, prophecy, and application. Reading through it, I understand that this was written for the Israelites. However, we can glean some applications to our own lives here in the present. God gave Isaiah messages for His people to prepare for something big. He warned of impending consequences, andContinue reading “Ready Up!”

In That One Moment

There have been so many instances in my life that I have thought about what it was like to be without cancer versus being with cancer. Before cancer, I was a strong person that was able to help almost everyone I came into contact with. After cancer entered into my life, I became this shellContinue reading “In That One Moment”

The Glory of God

The Glory of God. What does that mean? That is something that I seek to explore in this post. While reading John 17, I began wondering about Jesus’ prayer to the Father.

Proverbs 25:11-14

I have been reading through Proverbs over the past year, and there have been some amazing insights that God has revealed to me. I have to admit, I did not like some of those insights because they convicted me in some areas of my life that I did not want to admit to. There wasContinue reading “Proverbs 25:11-14”

There is going to come a point in time when one will not only be able to physically die, but also spiritually one will not be able to die to self (i.e., salvation, self-will).
