“If God hadn’t been there for me, I never would have made it. The minute I said, “I’m slipping, I’m falling,” your love, God, took hold and held me fast. When I was upset and beside myself, you calmed me down and cheered me up.” Psalm 94:17-19 MSG have you ever felt that no matter how much you pray, God doesn’t listen? that the more and more you pray, the worse things get? maybe it just feels like God is…
So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you’re already doing this; just keep on doing it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 MSG Let’s talk about encouragement. specifically, encouragement in faith. i’ve found that i get jealous when i see a fellow Christian who seems to have a more perfect relationship with Christ than i do. this is especially prominent when i’m going…
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and…

i’m currently working on a project about a topic i love. i’m speaking to middle school girls about body image & how to love themselves. speaking about the topic comes naturally to me. i’ve always tried to encourage my friends to love themselves, so talking to younger girls seems super exciting. however, as i’m praying and researching- i’m realizing that i’m a total hypocrite. i beat myself up emotionally every day over something i say, a grade i make, or…

in genesis chapters 21 and 22 we learned the story of Abraham and Isaac. if you haven’t read it lately, let me give you the gist: God gave Abraham and his wife, Sarah, a child when they were super old and not normally able to bear children. they named the child Isaac as God told them to. Abraham loved his son so much. he was so joyful. well, fast forward a few years later when Isaac was a young teen….

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. Matthew 21:22 Hey y’all! Welcome back! On a blog from a few weeks ago, i discussed the different types of answers to prayer. This week I’m going to discuss the two main topics of prayers. Ok, I’m blessed. God has given my family and me an amazing life full of blessings like joy, laughter, and pure happiness.
