When it’s all on You
Afraid, bound up, feeling condemned, then it was like all the sudden a breeze came upon me and I felt..well, free. Do you hear the whispers? The whispers you hear all day. The ones that don’t leave you any sleep, lead you to walk around with your head down; the ones that make you want to…

Take the Backseat to Your Worry
It’s not always best to call shotgun. When I was younger, my grandparents or parents and I would take a trip to Pigeon Forge every summer. Most of the time my younger brother and a few cousins would go along too. So there we were, packed into the back seat of this small, four door…

Shipwrecked on the Island of Your Promise
Don’t get lost in the wreckage. Anyone who knows me knows that I am an avid Disney fan. I have great appreciation for their beautiful story lines and animation. I am also one to find a lesson to be learned in just about everything. I’m talking lessons in the self checkout mishaps at Walmart to papers…

When there’s no Direction
“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.” How much would faith be worth if you were already certain you would acquire what you were believing for?

Not so Distant Love
God I pray that you will give us a true, agape love for those that oppose us; not an irritated, unforgiving, distant love but a brotherly, non envious love. Agape [Ah-gah-pay] love is true love; like God, unconditional, and unselfish. ” This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.” -John…

The Holy Spirit is not Conscientious
Don’t confuse your Christian minded convictions to always be the perfect will of God; your gut feeling is not the Holy Spirit. “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God,…

Crazy Irrational Faith
“Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.”- Ben Stein “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” -Hebrews 11:1 [KJV] To have faith is to be shielded from the fiery darts of the evil one. [Ephesians 6:16] To have faith is to possess…

When God Says Hush
Surrendering the tongue to the good intent and careful nature of the Holy Spirit not only safe guards those around you but also brings a new intimacy with God. In the process of zipping our lips, our heart slowly begins to look more like God’s. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,…
