Putting your trust in God does not mean that you trust Him to make everything end up the way YOU think it should. Putting your trust in God means that you trust Him to make everything end up the way HE knows it should. Trust is actually believing that His ways are better and higher [...]
The Character of God
The past few months have been challenging for my walk. The death of my son Levi has brought me into a season where God’s plan doesn’t make sense to me. My current feelings are not due to my comprehension of suffering. My confusion stems from thinking that I had a clear grasp of what God [...]
Quick thought: Nothing is Wasted
“After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.” John 6:12 NLT Nothing in your life is wasted. Nothing you do, nothing you go through. Some things make absolutely zero sense to us. I’m in that season in life right now. But in John 6 when Jesus [...]
Peace
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 NLTI'm writing this blogpost because I've been a little MIA. It'll be a short one, but there will be so much more to come. It’s been a [...]
Nothing is too difficult
Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. Jeremiah 32:17 Remember the song “He’s got the whole world in His hands”? Sometimes it’s hard to fathom that the creator of the universe cares for the details of our life. [...]

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians [...]

He’s our Helper and Teacher
What is God asking you to do? What direction do you feel He is leading you toward? Does it seem impossible? Are you feeling anxiety about your ability to do what He is asking? I'm usually one of those people who give God an attitude when He wants me to make moves for His Kingdom. [...]
Have you prayed about it as much as you’ve talked about it?
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Matthew 21:22 A friend sent me this picture, which inspired this blogpost. "Have you prayed about it as much as you've talked about it?" This is quite the thought provoking statement. How often share our concerns with everyone, except the Father? We [...]
Drink from the well that will satisfy
Humans will never satisfy. Only God can do that. Many of us have learned the hard way that people disappoint. It's easy to put our hopes and joy in humans, as they give us a tangible and immediate form of love. It seems too difficult or time consuming sometimes to cultivate a relationship with a [...]
