We live in a world of “here and now” and sometimes we forget that there is a bigger picture. A greater purpose. A specific reason for every single beat of our heart. We focus so much on the external, temporary things of life and get caught up in worldly pursuits that we forget the reason […] Read more…

“I’m not the person I want to be”
Can I be really honest with all of you? Sometimes I really don’t like myself. I wake up in the morning and I don’t like the reflection of the girl I see in the mirror. Not because I’m having a bad hair day (although that may be the case at times) but because I’m far […] Read more…
When you have too much on your plate
We live in a fast-paced world. A world that thrives on getting things done as quick as possible. We run around from one activity to another. Fill our planners with things to do until there is no time left in our day. Keep ourselves on a constant treadmill without taking any time to get off […] Read more…
Deciding how your story will end…
You didn’t get to choose what country you were born in. You didn’t get to choose your background. You didn’t get to choose the family that raised you. You didn’t even get to choose your name. You didn’t get to choose how your began your life here on earth. But today… you can choose how […] Read more…
Searching for “something more”
I will be happy when… I marry the man of my dreams. I can afford to buy that Lamborghini. I live in that big house with a white picket fence. I get my dream job. I check everything off my bucket list. I have that important title I’ve been climbing up the corporate ladder for. […] Read more…
When your problems seem too big
We all have them. Problems that seem larger than life. Issues that we must wake up to every day. Battles we must fight. Difficult choices to make. And what determines whether or not you will face defeat or have victory in the end? It’s one thing really. It’s not the size of your problem. It’s […] Read more…
Can God be trusted?
I’m not going to lie. When I saw the clouds filling the sky on the day I planned to go skydiving I had this happy little feeling inside and I thought to myself “maybe, just maybe… they’ll cancel our jump because of the weather”. I know, I know, I’m such a brave soul. 😉 That […] Read more…
When Life Gives You Lemons
We’ve all heard the saying: “When life gives you lemons make lemonade”. I think it’s pretty cute and all, but it’s one thing to say something and another thing to actually turn it into reality. “Making lemonade” literally is pretty simple. Get some water, toss in some sugar, squeeze in some fresh lemons and there […] Read more…
Waiting for a reason
Jesus could have come and healed Lazarus when he was still alive. Instead, He waited to raise him from the dead when he was already in his grave. God could have made David become king the day after he was anointed. Instead, He waited 15 years to rise to the throne, many of those years […] Read more…
Standing God Up
There’s few things worst in this world then being stood up by someone you care about. Then being rejected or ignored by someone you love. Then esteeming someone as a very important person in your life when you are the least important in theirs. And it always leaves you feeling one thing: sad. Sad that […] Read more…
