All men and women … ➡
I don’t believe we were designed to complete each other. I also feel that when we espouse this belief system, we set ourselves up for relational strife. In the Bible, it is instructed that we are to be completed in Him … not in other people. When we’re completed … ➡
God has continually opened my eyes to the pain of the dishonored and shamed women in our world and as a result, my spirit and conscious has become immensely overwhelmed by the weight of these transgressions and dishonor that men have shown women for generations. I cannot speak on … ➡

All of us have a history and all of us have our respective futures. We cannot change the past but we have the innate ability to create our futures. For most of us, our past contains some good memories and some painful memories. We have made some wise choices … ➡
If we know in our minds that it is against our core beliefs to entertain thoughts of lust and sexual immorality … yet we continue to allow access … we can begin to develop a “covered” relationship with God.
We are instructed many, many times in the word that … ➡
Why does God seem to wait when we so desperately are begging Him to “do something?” When we think of God’s timing, it can be common to lapse into a mindset that God’s clock is unintelligible, wound by a Deity who is distant and aloof to our desires. The … ➡
Imagine you’re in a battle, surrounded by hatred, violence and every type of evil imaginable. You’ve been in this battle for years, you’re in it now and there’s no end in site. All the sudden (in the middle of the battlefield), 20′ tall angels appear to surround you along … ➡
When my kids were small, they were enamored with Siberian huskies because … well, they’re sled dogs and they’re cool! They wanted a husky more than anything and mentioned it often (by often, I mean often). After caving in to my daughter (a common occurrence), we found a beautiful … ➡
Heavenly Father,
I praise You that You are always in control and I pray that You will show us the power of prayer. Father please breathe hope into our marriage, showing us and speaking to us that You can heal, restore and rebuild our covenant before You. Lord, we … ➡

Revelation 3:8:
“I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”

The life of Paul gives us many remarkably inspiring examples of finding contentment in God’s grace.

Galatians 5:22:
… ➡“But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to
All it takes is a pebble to start a landslide or an echo to start an avalanche. The Holy Spirit doesn’t need much to work inside of us. Just keep surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals and persevering through the trials. We all stumble but He’s there to pick us … ➡
The holidays can be stressful. There are more activities to attend and more responsibilities to take care of and, as a result, emotions tend to heighten. Holidays after a major family change are even more intense as everyone anticipates what the transition will look and feel like. Your children … ➡
To lead a joyful and peaceful Christian life, it’s imperative that we let God preside over situations that are beyond your control. Worry and trust do not coexist. When we invite worry in the front door of our lives, our faith will inevitably depart through the back. So we … ➡
