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…

hey friends! welcome back, it’s been a while. before we begin, i’d like y’all to read the following passage: There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth… A right time to cry and another to laugh, A right time to lament and another to cheer… A right time to embrace and another to part, A right time to search and another to count your losses, A right time to hold on and another…

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. Sometimes i take these luxuries for granted. I’ve never had to worry…

hey y’all! welcome to my weekly spiritual blog! This week I’m going to discuss my 2018 goals! I’ll start by saying that I’m notorious for not accomplishing my “new year resolutions.” They’ve always been relatively simple too!
