God is Always With You

Accomplishments and successes in this life can lead some to believe that they have no need of God. In Proverbs Chapter 18, verses 10-11 it says:  The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe. A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, and like a high […]

It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve posted, and I feel guilty. I know my good reasons, but I also want to be able to push through the obstacles that interfere with this blog. But I won’t let feeling guilty ruin my ability to talk to you about God. One of my favorite Bible verses is […]

Starting to read the Bible can be intimidating. There are difficult pronunciations, detailed genealogies, and a myriad of different cultures represented in the Bible. It is true that the Bible is a challenging read, but you needn’t do it alone. Pray to the Holy Spirit, asking Him to teach you about God through Scripture, and […]

God has recently taught me an important lesson that is changing my life. I’ve lived a large part of my life tiptoeing around various fears and expecting the worst.

There is also the modern day paper trail, in the form of cell phone bills, or even by snooping in someone’s phone. In these ways, our […]

Of course people will always battle with vanity, hypocrisy, selfishness,etc. But I believe that many of us treat ourselves very harshly in our inner lives. The part of us […]

The past few days, I’ve been fighting a battle in my own mind. I’ve not been feeling well lately, with nausea and abdominal pain, coupled with uncontrolled anxiety. I’ve had IBS since I was five, but lately it’s been worse than usual, with the new addition of persistent nausea and a loss of appetite. It’s […]

We all make mistakes. And all of us have regrets. I’ve hurt people, not even realizing the extent of my wrongs until many years later. I am a kind and loving person, but that hasn’t kept me from making bad choices that affected other people. I am truly humbled when I look back at my younger […]
