American Christianity is tiresome. American Christianity will tell you that if you don't vote for a certain person, watch certain news stations, read certain websites, etc, you couldn't possibly know Jesus. Depending on what "side" you may find yourself on, you were offended reading what I just wrote. The truth is, neither party worships Jesus. … Continue reading The Elephant, The Donkey, The Lion & The Lamb
COVID-19: Calm Yet Wise
When I worked at Amscot, a check cashing place in Florida, we were often told the phrase "trust, but verify". It meant that, which we were to trust our customers when they gave us checks to cash or proof of a job for payroll advances, we were to also verify that the checks were real … Continue reading COVID-19: Calm Yet Wise
10 Years of Sanctification
This April will be a special one. It will mark 10 years that I have been following Christ. I truly can't believe this anniversary has come so soon. That fateful day feels like just yesterday. Many of my anniversary posts are just a recounting of my testimony, and while those are great, this time, I'd … Continue reading 10 Years of Sanctification
All Things Work Together
This isn't the first time God showed me that He kept me from something for a reason. A couple of years back, I realized something I thought to be perfect wasn't so perfect after all. It was almost as if I could hear Him saying, "See? That's why I didn't let you go down that … Continue reading All Things Work Together
Fear Is A Liar
"Fear, he is a liar. He will take your breath. Stop you in your steps. Fear, he is a liar. He will rob your rest. Steal your happiness. Cast your fear in the fire, 'Cause fear, he is a liar." Have you ever felt afraid? Maybe you were afraid for you life. Maybe you felt … Continue reading Fear Is A Liar
Lysa TerKeurst & Divorce
Divorce is never easy. Though I haven't been through one, I am the child of divorced parents. Being that my parents divorced when I was a teenager, I have this odd upbringing of knowing what a "normal" family is supposed to look like, then suddenly having that taken away from me. I am no stranger … Continue reading Lysa TerKeurst & Divorce
Grace & The Unplanned Pregnancy
Last night, my church had a women's meeting where we talked about Pro-Grace, a ministry that we have recently partnered with (I'll provide a link at the end of the article for you to check them out, which I HIGHLY recommend, but I need you to read this whole thing first). While I was excited … Continue reading Grace & The Unplanned Pregnancy
What To Expect When You’re Expecting
When I was pregnant with my first daughter, Julie, I expected a lot to be different. I understood that a baby meant a lot of changes. I knew we (my husband and I) would have a lot less space in the house as her swings, playmate, crib, etc moved in, that we would have this tiny … Continue reading What To Expect When You’re Expecting
The Terrible Lie
This past week, I bought my daughter the Jesus Storybook Bible (which I highly recommend, by the way). We've been reading a couple of stories each day and one particular line really stood out to me. In the story of Adam & Eve (named "The Terrible Lie" in her Bible), after Eve encounters the serpent … Continue reading The Terrible Lie
Untouchable
WE ARE UNTOUCHABLE. As Christians, there isn't a thing anyone can do to mess up the plan of God. Because of that, we are UNTOUCHABLE until God calls us home. We have no reason to fear accidents, bombs, terrorists, diseases, attacks, and ultimately death. If God has a purpose to accomplish through us, and … Continue reading Untouchable
