“I want more of what they have.” [Enter your own life question/ your pronouns] To be fair so do you. You have friends that care about you and you have money in the bank. You have clothes and roof and a girlfriend you really like. Just dont make money your God. Its dark down there and quite frankly fruitless. Just remember to keep focus on certain things. Keep balance in mind, to say yes is to say no to another. But the yes you need to keep alive is your obedience to God. I pray for you often. So yeah. I love you man. Also don’t focus too much on…

Sometimes we like to think of things in future tense. We think, ”I’ll start tomorrow,” ”when I’m healed I can do that.” There are circumstances that hinder our growth at times like surgeries, living restrictions, etc. but even if we can not reach our goal tomorrow, we can still strive for it. God has given us the power of the holy spirit so that means we are not facing today alone. We have access to the living God to give us strength, comfort and peace. That means we can live each day with purpose. We don’t live ordinary lives, everything is extravagant because that is who our God is. Some…

Some days its easier to see the hand of God in your life than others. Some days we get gentle reminders of the blessings in our life and some days we just see the struggle and hardships It’s okay to acknowledge the pain, and trials and feel them. That is better than believing you have to be perfectly positive and never say that its hard or lousy to be dealing with what you are. God provides for us monetarily, emotionally, and physically. The most important one I’ve been dealing with is getting through a season of depression. God has provided me a bible app, a physical bible, youtube to watch…

We’ve all experienced loss in some form or another. Some are blessed enough to have not experienced loss of a close loved one yet in their lives. Loss creates a void in us. A hole where their love once sat, until they were unable to love us anymore. Sometimes grief can overtake us. It hurts so bad when that happens, but the good news is we’re not alone in our suffering, for Jesus experienced loss too. The most commonly talked about grief Jesus experienced is when his good friend Lazarus passed away while Jesus was on the way to visit him. Though Jesus knew his friend would pass before he…

Many people can look back on their childhoods and say what they would like to change or what they would do/give to their own kids. These days, we need to let kids be kids. Kids are dealing with fear from shootings, comparison from seeing “perfect bodies” on the internet and how many likes they can get on their posts. Kids should be able to play and not worry about money or their clothes or food. Sometimes it’s hard to provide things when you are first starting out but kids don’t need to hear about the struggle until they are old enough to know they are safe and taken care of.…

What are you facing currently? Are you up for the fight, or are you laying low hoping to escape the situations in life? Either can be viable options depending on what you’re going through. The battles of this life always remind me of our purpose. Everyone has a different purpose according to their abilities and passions. But we also have one purpose we all share. WE are meant to love and be loved. Loved by the father and love those around us. Seems simple but sometimes our flesh gets in the way. Shame, pain, and hatred can be barriers we face. But the good news is Jesus is graceful. He…

This week has been very busy in my own life. Mean customers, lots of chores to do at home, appointments and phone calls to be made…lets say it hasn’t been easy. On those days where it feels like so many things are going right just to have them or other things go wrong, what do you do? It can be very easy to say screw it, “I’m over it”, and be in a bad mood. This happens a lot, at least for me. Even in the bad I look for the good as well. Even in a sad movie I saw my favorite number meaning even before I ever knew…

A couple weeks ago I stood at my dresser crying because I didn’t feel good about myself. I didn’t like the way my clothes fit and how my body looked. We all deal with this in some way. There are days where we feel too big, like we’re too much! Others feel tiny, too small, not enough. You are neither too big or too small. You’re perfect as you are. You are just right! I was reminded of that day where crying and sadness of my body stole my joy, and all I could say is “Lord I wish I could have some nice clothes for Christmas.” God is not…
