We all make excuses. Excuses for staying in our comfort zones instead of reaching for our dreams. Excuses for living halfheartedly instead of giving God our all. Excuses for remaining in the same place we’ve always been and never taking a step forward. See… tomorrow always seems like a better day to do everything God […] Read more…
Some days I feel like I’m living my life to the fullest. Making the most of every second, every minute, every day. Other days I feel like I’m just taking up space. Some days I don’t even wait for my alarm clock to wake me up, I get up bright and early on my own, […] Read more…

Worshiping only God took Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the comforts of security, to the burning fiery furnace and anger of a king. Faithfulness to God took Mary from the comfort of an ideal life to being […] Read more…
There is so much more to life than likes on facebook, re-tweets on twitter, and follows on instagram. In this world of social media it’s so easy to get caught up in our cool gadgets, in our phones, on our online profiles that we forget that real life is happening right in front of us […] Read more…
Is God still good… When you keep on knocking but the doors never open? When prayers seem unanswered? When darkness is all you see? When life leaves you with never-ending disappointments?
