Waiting Made Easier
I’ve never been a fan of cliff hangers in books and tv shows. I want to know what happens next, and I don’t want to wait a year or more for the next season to come out. All of this changed when streaming became available. Now, I fall into the trap of not having to...
Waiting Made Easier

To The Girl Who Thinks God Won’t Forgive You

You Don’t Have To Earn God’s Love
You don’t have to earn God’s love. In fact, you can’t. I am a perfectionist, and I’ll admit that it took me an embarrassingly long time to fully embrace this aspect of my faith. I have an intense work ethic when I want to do something, and a competitive drive to be...
The Deceit of Ignorance
Have you heard the expressions “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” and “Ignorance is bliss.”? I’m sure most of you have. It’s the belief that if we stay in the dark about something then we don’t have to worry about it, deal with it, or possibly be hurt by it. But...
A Rare Opportunity of Great Hope
God would not have breathed His Word into the Bible through stories of hundreds of different people if He meant for us to live an isolated life. We are meant for community and Jesus is our example of The King who led by serving. He showed us the perfect way to put...
We Can Deceive Ourselves
Several years ago I found a refrigerator item that had been misplaced to the kitchen pantry. I actually found it quite funny and began to question my four little ones. “Ok guys, who put the milk in the pantry?” Each of them got quiet and began nervously looking to...
Week 1 – Never Defenseless

Focus On What Has Been Revealed
People love to make predictions, from the outcome of a sports game to the weather for the next week, to investment opportunities. Predictions are made every day. Even in religion, you can find predictions, especially when it involves Jesus’ return. There are...
Walk Worthy
My husband and I cuddled on the couch one night to watch a movie we felt we could both enjoy. With popcorn ready to go, we pressed play on a story that had Sandra Bullock (my favorite actress) and football (a manly theme for my husband). We both got lost in the true...
The Hope of Christ’s Return
The Thessalonian church was growing in faith and increasing in love for one another (2 Thess. 1:3). If I asked you, you probably would say faith and love are two areas in which you want to grow. But growing has a price not many of us are willing to pay. The...
