  • When it’s all on You

    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

    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

    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…

  • A Time to be Strong & A Time to be Weak

    A Time to be Strong & A Time to be Weak

    To be strong you must first be weak. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”                   –…

  • The Holy Spirit is not Conscientious

    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,…

  • When God Says Hush

    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,…

  • Head over Heels

    Head over Heels

    “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” -Matthew 6:21 “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.“ -Revelation 2:4       What a thing it is to fall in love.. but why is it that they call it “falling” in love? I personally believe it’s…

  • Jesus is the Balance

    Jesus is the Balance

    We find ourselves endlessly searching for the balance, forgetting that stability is only found in Him. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” -Mattheww 6:33 I’m one of the least coordinated humans on the face of this earth we’re living on. To prove…

  • Feed Your Spirit

    Feed Your Spirit

    If you want to be full, start starving. “Blessed are thye which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” – Matthew 5:6 There’s two kinds of people, people that can’t finish a plate of food and people that follow up their meal with “are you gonna’ finish that?” Unfortunately I fall…

  • Don’t Send Jesus to Voicemail

    Don’t Send Jesus to Voicemail

    Leave a message at the beep *beep* The Bible tells us that God speaks once, twice, yet man doesn’t perceive it. [Job 33:14] Could it be that in late July of 2018 God is speaking yet we, the people of God, “perceive it not”? We know God doesn’t change.[Hebrews 13:8] We know God still speaks…
