What is Your Purpose?

There I was, this morning, on the back deck of my house. I was enjoying the beauty of the atmosphere. It was early morning, and it seemed as though I was the only person awake in the neighborhood. I’m sure I wasn’t, but that is what I felt. As I communed with God, the birdsContinue reading “What is Your Purpose?”

It has been a very trying time in this house. There have been a number of issues that have to be worked out soon. However, I am tired. Oh so tired! Many of the tasks required to be done are just so very draining, and it is difficult to find the motivation to finish thisContinue reading “Lord, Strengthen Us”

When Things Get Bad

Today is just another one of those days when I am super introspective. On these days, I think about how the events of my past have led me to who I am in my character today. So, of course, this leads me down a rabbit hole in remembering all of the past events, the decisionsContinue reading “When Things Get Bad”

Do All Things in Love

There are many rules and lessons that I am trying to teach my sons. Cleaning up after themselves. Getting their homework finished right. Helping each other. And the list goes on. However, the three things I tell them every day is: Help, Share, Be Kind. If they can get those things down in life, theyContinue reading “Do All Things in Love”

What’s a Lament?

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been learning more about prayer. And in doing so, I have found out that while prayer is simple, a lot of us do not lay it all out there for Him. A lot of us simply say a set of words that we feel He wants toContinue reading “What’s a Lament?”

The Thief on the Cross

Reading the Bible, I come across some things that seem to jump off of the page at me. I am not sure if you experience this sometimes, but it is almost as if the Holy Spirit has taken a sort of ‘spiritual’ highlighter to the Bible. There are times when I am reading the Bible,Continue reading “The Thief on the Cross”

You Gotta Have Faith

There have been so many difficulties as of late. My friends and family have expressed various trial and tumultuous times here lately that have led them to doubt if God still sees them.

On the Struggle Bus

Let me tell y’all, there has been a lot of difficulties going on here. I am not sure what sort of difficulties you all face, but I can guess that you have something going on. If not, just you wait. Something will come up out of the blue for you. That is just a partContinue reading “On the Struggle Bus”

Accept One Another

In our “One Another” Series, we are exploring several passages that help us discover the fullness of Christ’s commands toward each other as the Body of Christ. When we have intentional, intimate relationships with one another, we can fully live out what God intended for His people.

Are You Facing Trials?

There are so many times that I tell myself, “It is going to get better. It is going to get better.” Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t. But through it all, I am reminded of how God is with me and will never leave me. I am reminded of when Moses went to Pharaoh,Continue reading “Are You Facing Trials?”
