Ugly. Not talented. Alone. Useless. Fat. Hopeless. Unwanted. Dumb. Not good enough. These are just a few of many labels that people are given. Labels the world gives them, labels people give them, and sadly…labels that they often give themselves. I’m sure one point in life we’ve all felt inadequate, unwanted, or just not good […] Read more…
Sometimes I wonder what Christians would look like if they stopped reciting the scriptures they have memorized in their head and start living by them, literally. If instead of spouting out words when they seem to fit the occasion, we turn those words into action. Because often times I see so many discouraged, purposeless, fearful, […] Read more…
If I was looking for a great group of friends to depend on I probably wouldn’t choose any of Jesus’ disciples, they all ran from Him when He needed them the most.

Trying to stay afloat in the raging waters, waiting for the storm to pass and for that rainbow to shine. But instead I find that the clouds get […] 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…
I used to think that just because I was Christian life would automatically be “easy.”After all God Almighty, Creator of the universe was on MY side… everything I went through would be a piece of cake, right? My life would be full or rainbows, butterflies, and happy feelings. I’d wake up feeling abundant joy every […] Read more…
When I think of a preacher I think of a man dressed in a nice suite standing behind the pulpit on stage in church. Bible in one hand. Microphone in the other. A crowd of people in front of him. When I think of a missionary I think of someone in a foreign country. Spreading […] Read more…
