Do Not Fear: Valued, Seen, & Chosen
In my last post, I started a series on the instances the Bible says to not fear and how we can walk in peace knowing God’s presence is always with us, no matter where we go. The promises God gave in the Old Testament are not the only promises given. Jesus also promised His disciples…

Do Not Fear: God is With You
When I read somewhere that “Do not fear” occurs in the Bible 365 times—once for each day of the year, I wanted to take a look myself and find all those instances. There are not 365 instances, by the way, but there are however a lot of verses where God gives the command to not fear. I…

Satan is a Liar
** I wrote this during quarantine earlier this year, but the Lord reminded me of it recently, and I realized how true this still is. ** You know the phrase, “Satan is a liar,” or “Fear is a liar,” or something along those lines? I’ve heard this a lot in my life, growing up in…

New Zealand: Travel Week, Part 1
As promised, this post will be about my adventures of New Zealand before I started the missions work. So, I woke up that first morning in Christchurch (the largest city in South Island) at 7 a.m. and my roommate/friend (Brianna) was still sleeping so I took the time to mentally settle in and that’s when…

New Zealand
You’d think that after 2 years of being home from my mission trip I’d be done talking about it. Nope. Haven’t really talked about it in the last couple of years, for multiple reasons: I found out my grandmother got sick and stayed sick when I was in New Zealand and it messed with my…

It's a Done Deal
I recently read something that made me think of the depth of the meaning of Messiah’s words when He died on the cross: “It is finished.” If you’ve grown up in the church, you know that means that Christ took the penalty for our sins and that he bore God’s wrath and judgment in place of…

The Bible: God's Living Truth
I was reading this article and it all of a sudden, hit me, all over again, just from reading the first couple paragraphs: “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner…

2018 Reflection, Looking Ahead to 2019
2018 was quite the year for me, with emotions all over the place as I dealt with the loss of my dear grandmother. It’s been almost a year since she passed, and just a couple weeks ago, I started to feel like myself again; glory to God for not giving up on me! I know…

"The Garden": How God Speaks Through a Single Song
The Lord is so faithful; so so faithful. I know I say simple statements like this frequently, but I just listened to “The Garden” by Kari Jobe and it brought me to tears. God used this song to help me realize that everything that’s happened in my life has led up to this one moment.…

Opening Up
Lately, I’ve been noticing that I have a hard time opening up to people, and honestly, I don’t truly know why. But, I would like to change that and make myself more relate-able to y’all. I think it’s important to get to know others and where they come from and their stories, but it needs…
