Questions. They began from the moment that we find the words to say them. About why the sky is blue, how you can grow tall, and what makes the world go round. Questions about the world we see with our eyes, the people around us, and the life that we live. And for the most […] Read more…

God’s Definition of Love
Love. It has been sung about by popular music artists of all genres for many decades and I’m sure many more decades to come. It has been endlessly written about by famous authors who with words attempt to depict its complex significance. It is talked about by people on a regular basis as they attempt to […] Read more…
“I don’t look like the girl on the magazine”
I used to think that to be beautiful I needed to have the right hairstyle, wear the right brand of jeans, and have the right amount of make-up on my face. But over the years I have learned that true beauty is much deeper than what someone sees with their eyes. It’s not about what […] Read more…
Dropping the Comparison Game
It starts when we are just small children. We are happy with our own toys until we see someone else has something better. We try to steal theirs and when our parents take it away we yell “no fair!”. And although we mature and grow up and learn to be thankful for what we have […] Read more…
The battlefield of the mind
Sometimes it doesn’t take a storm to destroy us, a friend to betray us, or a sin to make us fall… all it takes is just one little thought. Physical battles take place on a battlefield with armies, with weapons, and with fire. But spiritual battles often take place in the battlefield of our mind […] Read more…

How does a […] Read more…
No More Comfortable Christianity
These last few months have been a bit of a rollercoaster for me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually because of one simple prayer. A prayer I don’t know why I continually repeat. A prayer that is constantly on my heart. “Break my heart for what breaks Yours”. And God has answered that prayer, because heartbroken I […] Read more…
“I want to be popular”
We live in a culture that is obsessed with self. Just look at the magazine covers as you stand in a grocery line. Scan through your instagram or facebook feed. Watch an episode of a reality tv show. And you’ll hear what everyone is trying to say. Maybe not verbally, but still very clearly. “It’s […] Read more…
You Will Fail
I hate to break it to you, especially this early in the day but you’re going to fail in life. Very encouraging, I know. But please keep on reading. It’ll get better, I promise. 😉 So many of us are scared of that word: failure. The likelihood that we will not succeed at something. It’s […] Read more…
“I’d rather live for myself”
Sometimes I wonder… What if Mary said she couldn’t give birth to Jesus because the possible judgment and ridicule she’d have to face would be too much for her to bear? What if Moses said he wouldn’t lead the Israelites out of Egypt into the Promised Land because he wasn’t eloquent with his words and […] Read more…
