Where are you right now? Do you feel content in where you are at? Or are you dealing with uncertainty? There are seasons and situations in life where you feel lost or like you need to do something else but you don’t know where or what the new thing is you are being drawn to. With these uncertainties, we can still find peace in Jesus, his teachings and encounters with him. When you experience the holy spirit you can experience the peace Jesus provides. What does that mean? When Jesus ascended back to heaven after the resurrection he hung out down here for a while. Once he went back he…

Are you feeling tired and like you can’t catch a break? Does it feel like productivity is at all time low for yourself? Maybe it’s seasonal depression but maybe your heart is exhausted. Maybe you’re piling your to do list too high so when you finally check some things off the list it looks like nothing has been done. What does God have to say? He says not to tie your self worth with what you can do. He’s also a fan of the eat and nap method. But seriously, if you aren’t taking care of your well-being you can’t take very good care of everything else around you. “When…

Does it ever feel like you are alone in the world? Forever waiting, wanting or sad? Some days it feels like that. Sometimes it feels as if I’ll never make it. So what do you do when you want to set the world on fire or lay in the flames yourself? It’s important to have people you can talk to in these situations, like a spouse, partner, sibling, parent, doctor, pastor or friend. Sometimes when we’re in a deep rut we just need a hand to help lift us up. There can’t always be a person there to help us. In those times and all the time we must rely…

There’s a quote by Thomas Edison that states, ”Opportunity is missed by most people because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like hard work.” How much do we miss out on because we are afraid of how hard we will have to work? Depending on your personality and your exhaustion level you might answer differently. Today I am here to encourage you in your situations that if you want something it’s time to put the fear away and say yes to the hard work. If you are easily overwhelmed I would say take it one step at a time. “All you who fear God, how blessed you are! how happily…

Have you ever adopted a pet? Whether it was a larger animal like a dog, or a small one like a fish, there’s an unmistakable feeling of joy. Adoption is wired into our DNA since we have all been adopted into God’s family. When you accept Jesus into your life you accept the invitation into his family. You are a child of God. God calls us his sons and daughters. Romans 8:14-17 (ESV) “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as…

“I want more of what they have.” [Enter your own life question/ your pronouns] To be fair so do you. You have friends that care about you and you have money in the bank. You have clothes and roof and a girlfriend you really like. Just dont make money your God. Its dark down there and quite frankly fruitless. Just remember to keep focus on certain things. Keep balance in mind, to say yes is to say no to another. But the yes you need to keep alive is your obedience to God. I pray for you often. So yeah. I love you man. Also don’t focus too much on…

Sometimes we like to think of things in future tense. We think, ”I’ll start tomorrow,” ”when I’m healed I can do that.” There are circumstances that hinder our growth at times like surgeries, living restrictions, etc. but even if we can not reach our goal tomorrow, we can still strive for it. God has given us the power of the holy spirit so that means we are not facing today alone. We have access to the living God to give us strength, comfort and peace. That means we can live each day with purpose. We don’t live ordinary lives, everything is extravagant because that is who our God is. Some…

Some days its easier to see the hand of God in your life than others. Some days we get gentle reminders of the blessings in our life and some days we just see the struggle and hardships It’s okay to acknowledge the pain, and trials and feel them. That is better than believing you have to be perfectly positive and never say that its hard or lousy to be dealing with what you are. God provides for us monetarily, emotionally, and physically. The most important one I’ve been dealing with is getting through a season of depression. God has provided me a bible app, a physical bible, youtube to watch…
