And He Denied Him Three Times

Hello All, Have you ever read the Bible and thought, "How can they deny that is God, it's so obvious?" or "How can they do that, when they just had an encounter with God Himself?" I know I have, but lately, I've come to the realization that they are just humans, as I am and if I was in their shoes I might've done the same thing. This may seem like something that is obvious, but it is so easy to judge from the outside looking in, when in reality we can't fully understand what is going on without being in the situation ourselves. Even if we have been in similar situations, we have not walked their entire lives so we don't know fully why they react a certain way. It can be easy to assume we would react a differently if we were in their  shoes, but without being them, we can never know for sure. Today I read the story of the Passover and of when Jesus was betrayed by Judas. (Luke 22) Though what struck me most wasn't that He was betrayed by som...

Just Because It Hurts, Doesn't Mean It Isn't God

Hello Everyone,  The title for the post might seem obvious, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who in life's darkest hour, wonders how this could be God's will. As my recent posts have stated, I've been dealing with some hard stuff this past year and a half, and I will admit I've asked "why" several times, but He is still good! I may not know all that He has instore for me, and all the reasons He is allowing me to go through all this, but I know one thing for sure...while I've been struggling He is working, and He has great plans for me! As I talked about last post, spending time in His word more regularly has really helped get my perspective focused above and more on what He can do through me and not what is happening to me. It is through lives interruptions that we often take Him up on His invitation to seek Him the most. I still struggle with the why, especially this week as I ended up in the ER twice (once by ambulance), but I know that He has...

What We Put in Will Become Who We Are

Hey All, So I'm still in a rough season, however, in the last couple months I've restarted doing my Jesus time almost first thing, and making sure I do it everyday. This may not seem like that big of a deal to some, but especially in a tough season of life it is SO important! I think that it is important in both the mountain and valley times of our lives, but it is crucial in those valley times so we can be filled with His peace instead of anxiety as well as get clarity and learn what He wants us to. Not only have I been doing my daily Jesus time while listening to Air1 , I have, also, been watching a sermon or two a week, and just read (Un) qualified by Steven Furtick which is one of the best books I've EVER read! I've been "going" to Elevation for a couple of years now and I can't speak highly enough about the ministry that this church family is in my life! God has spoken to me during each sermon and song to the point of tears most weeks! L...
