Here's to 2010...

It's 12:09 a.m. which means that it is officially New Years Eve.  Finally, 2010 is upon us.  This means resolutions and goals for so many.  While we were in small group last night, Stacy asked us what our resolutions were.  But it was the kind of resolutions that she mentioned that really stuck a chord.  "What kind of biblical or spiritual resolutions have you thought about..."...

In Your death I see undying love...

There you have it.  Oh little town of Medaryville.  This is where I grew up.  Do I miss small town life?  I'd say yes and no.  Medaryville gave me the opportunity to be close to my family.  Everyone lived within 10 minutes of each other.  It was great.  Now everyone is scattering as the years go on.  Families aren't what they used to be.  God has...

Is there another way???

God is changing my heart.  Anybody who knows me, knows that I have always been an independent person.  Ever since I can remember, I have always been taught that in order to have things in life, I would need to be the one to make that happen.  I was never taught to rely on God for all things in life.  I was taught that He would be there through the bad, but was never taught that He would be there through the good.  I have learned more about God and His love for us more in...

Jesus, You are always by my side....

I had the privilege to see Tenth Avenue North in concert with Beth a few weeks ago.  What an amazing time of worship.  This song "By Your Side" has always been very close to my heart.  The words are absolutely amazing and love just pours out of them.  I wanted to break the lyrics down and right about how I view each line of the lyrics and how they have applied to somethings in my life and in other's lives that I have seen.   Why are you striving these days - Life is always...

Jesus, I will carry my cross for You...

This past Thursday, September 24, 2009 we buried my cousin Sabrina. I had just seen her 3 weeks prior when I was home and for whatever reason, that trip home made my heart break for my cousins. Sabrina, Kanyon, Kalyn, Kalyn (yes I have 2 cousins named Kalyn...one on each side of the family), even Cody and Gavin who aren't my cousins but might as well be as much as I have been around them my whole life. There is an epidemic going on people! It used to be cocaine overdoses and heroin overdoses....

Be still my soul...be still.....

"Be still and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10 tells us to be patient. Did you know that when the word "still" is used as an adjective it means to remain in place or at rest? This verse is telling us to be at rest and know that HE is God...not you or I. God is SO much more than what we think. Many people believe that when they are going through trials in life, that God is punishing them. Although this may be the case sometimes, it is not most of the time. I believe that God puts us through...

When did we become so selfish?

Did you know that for the fiscal year of 2007 Starbucks had grossed $9,411,500,00o. That is approximately $25,784,931 a day. Over $25 million dollars each day is being spent on some sort of coffee/caffeine. Most people drink coffee in the morning to help jump start their day. Either they didn't sleep well or didn't get enough sleep. What about the homeless who can't even get just 1 good night's rest? How are we so much better than them?Imagine sleeping outside every night. Imagine sleeping...

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also...Matthew 6:21

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. " ::::: Matthew 6:19-21Recently, I have went through so much of my material things in life and realized how much money I have spent on useless things. Things that I am now getting...

God changes our directions whether we want Him to or not...

When God is in control of your life, it doesn't matter which direction you want to turn. God will always steer you in the way that He wants you to go. I used to be scared of this, now I embrace it. Im' single and living my life in the way that God wants me to. I'm letting him take the reins of my life and lead me to do whatever He would have me to do. So much of my life has changed in the past 6 months and I thought it was going to be scary. But I have now realized that everything I have went through...

She pressed through the crowd hoping that she might see...she said if I can touch Jesus, I know I'll be free...

Okay...so today was not a good day. In fact, this week hasn't exactly been the best. Dealing with health issues and everything else has not been fun. But things are looking up and God is in control. Finally I feel like my life is going forward instead of being either at a stand still or always looking back. I have always been obsessed with books ever since I have been little. Well being in my late 20's has not changed that. I'm currently trying to read like 4 books right now (yes, my non-diagnosed...

Let the world fade away, I need to be alone...

What's the best way to get over someone? Does anyone have any scientific answer that has been proven to work 100% of the time? If someone can help me find the answer, i'll be forever grateful. My mind hurts, my heart hurts, and it's making my whole body hurt. Have you ever been so in love with someone that it physically makes your entire body hurt? What makes it worse is when you know you can't...
