Learning to Control Your Feelings

I’m a girl. Which means that one second I can be laughing until I’m crying and the next second I will be crying… literally. One minute I’m high up in the clouds excited about everything in the world. The next minute I’m down in the dumps throwing myself a pity party and thinking it’s the […] Read more…

Facing Fear through Prayer

It is what gave a beautiful young queen boldness to approach her king in order to petition for the lives of her people. It is what gave a young shepherd boy the boldness to speak against a giant that was taunting his people and his God and bring him down with a few stones. It […] Read more…

One prayer can change everything

It was because Elijah prayed that it didn’t rain for three years. It was because Joshua prayed that the sun stood still during battle.

When Nothing Seems To Be Happening

God will take care of you

If God could feed over 5000 hungry people with 5 fish and two loaves of bread. God can provide for you no matter how limited your resources are and how little you have. If God could part the Red Sea to make a way for the Israelites. He can make a way for you at […] Read more…

“I can’t forgive myself”

Some days you are going to mess up. Big time. To the point that you won’t be able to look at yourself in the mirror. To the point that you’ll be walking around with a cloud of disappointment over your head. To the point that you will wonder if you’ll ever be able to forgive […] Read more…

Turn your pain into someone else’s hope

Sometimes when I step into church I feel like I’m attending a masquerade. A place full of perfect people hiding behind masks.
