Why I Love the Bible
There are so many reasons why I love the Bible, the Word of God. This blog is a place where I provide little posts that take no longer than a cup of coffee to read through. And I would need to take an immense amount of time to explain all of my reasons. So IContinue reading “Why I Love the Bible”
“Have You Not Known?”
Let me tell you this: God has blessed me with this scripture from Isaiah chapter 40. I was reading my daily portion of scripture, and this passage lit up my heart.

When Things Get Bad

So, of course, this leads me down a rabbit hole in remembering all of the past events, the decisionsContinue reading “When Things Get Bad”
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?”
