Hey everyone! I hope you all are doing well. This week's post is going to be a bit different than normal, and a lot longer as well. Actually, I'd like to be a bit vulnerable with you about a time in my past. I don't talk about it often, but I was bullied in middle [...]
Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to [...]
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 [...]

We all want to be happy in our lives, right? God wants us to have a joy-filled life, a life filled with happiness. Romans 15:13 states, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." But [...]
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 [...]
