Wow! It has been SUCH a long time since I've actually sat down to write a post on here. I apologize for that! I have had so much going on in my life lately and well, writing on this blog took the backseat. I heard a sermon at church today that really struck a chord [...]
"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32 This is just one of many verses in the bible where we are called as Christians to be kind to one another. And I think it's safe to say that we all are aware that this is something [...]
What do we mean when we say we are Christians? Are we just following the religion's standard traditions, believing and going to church every Sunday? Or are we taking action, and demonstrating our faith? We so often get caught up in the world and its daily temptations, that our faith can sometimes be put on [...]

Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11, which reads, "'I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future.'" This is a very commonly known verse with a majority of Christians. Many of [...]

I want you to think for a second. Clear your mind, and just think. Think back on the last spiritual storm you encountered in your life. Maybe you’re going through something right now. Just focus on the most recent storm you went through. How did you feel in the midst of that storm? Did you [...]
