I realized in my various posts on here that I have neglected the most important thing: The gospel. The gospel is the good news of Christ, who He is, and what He did for us. Romans 3:23 says “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”. As humans, we all haveContinue reading “The Gospel”

I heard an interesting podcast the other week. I’ll be honest since I was thinking on this topic for so long before writing I forgot which podcast it was that said it. But essentially the focus of the message was that when we repent and ask God to forgive us for something but then holdContinue reading “Forgiving Ourselves”

Patience…it’s one of those things that I am constantly reminded is missing in my life. According to Galatians 5:22 patience (or long-suffering in the KJV) is one of the fruits of the Spirit. Frequently in the Bible you see people wating on the Lord and we are given the encouragement in Psams 46:10 to “BeContinue reading “Patience is a [much needed] virtue”

Growing up in the church one of the things that was talked about frequently was the ACTS model of prayer. I don’t know who came up with it but in case you are not familiar it stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Confession and Supplication were always pretty self-explanatory but I always found myselfContinue reading “The ACTS prayer”

I had a whole blog post written and actually scheduled for today. I wrote it, scheduled it, and went to bed. Throughout the afternoon and when I woke up, however I felt God leading me to take it down and that it was not something I needed to post publicly. In fact, it related to somethingContinue reading “A Change of Heart Equals a Change of Post”

I began working my way through Havilah Cunnington’s Leap Into Love: Living Present to My Purpose on the Planet in mid January. This book has a small reading and “soul-searching” that you do once a day for 20 days. When I purchased the book I believed it was about recognizing who we are as God’sContinue reading “Review of Havilah Cunnington’s “Leap into Love””

This is a really difficult post for me to write. In fact, I may not ever post it (if you are reading this obviously I did). But I recently read Pulling Back the Shades: Erotica, Intimacy, and the Longings of a Woman’s Heart by Dannah Gresh and Dr. Juli Slattery and found it extremely helpful in someContinue reading “Confession and His Strength not Mine”

This morning was one of those mornings… you know those mornings that start out rough and as you start the day it just seems to be getting worse. I woke up feeling tired and with joint pain (I have chronic lyme and I out over did it the last two weekends). I then made theContinue reading “Our Joy is in the Lord”

I have always loved reading the book of Psalms in the Bible. It is such a source of encouragement as well as words of prayer, petition, and thanksgiving pouring out. Psalms can also help us understand and grapple with our own emotions in relation to God. I would like to share one of my favoriteContinue reading “The Beauty of the Psalms”

I recently finished reading Life Quest: Braving Adulthood with Biblical Passion by Cary Schmidt. Truthfully, I wish I had this book right after I graduated high school or college. While it is still very applicable to my life right now I wish I had read it sooner. This book is a great encouragement to pursueContinue reading ““Life Quest: Braving Adulthood with Biblical Passion” Review”
