  Changed.

  Why is it that we live in the past, extensively plan for the future, and forget the here and now? I am very guilty of this. But in doing this we miss the miracles of the present.  The past is to learn from. We don’t live there anymore. God brought…

  Value.

  When something has value, what does that mean to you?  You may think value is measured by the things you have or the money you have saved or for someone like me, you wish that retail therapy was covered by health insurance.  Something of value can also be memories. Time…

  God’s not done…

  Life is made up of time spent. Moments, instances in time, and you have a choice how to spend it. I’ve used this quote from K Bromberg before but in my defense it’s one of my favorites. “Time is precious, waste it wisely”. I firmly believe that everything happens for…

  Empty.

  Everyone knows the old saying, “the glass is either half empty or half full.” They say if you pick one over the other automatically then you are a pessimist or an optimist. But, there is actually another way to look at it. Think theologically for a moment. If you are…

  Reflection—noun.  1.) an image representation; counterpart 2.) a fixing of thoughts on something; careful consideration. As you probably can tell, I love words.

  Taken Away.

  It’s amazing how we take little things for granted (myself definitely included). We don’t realize how much we rely on things until it’s gone. What if we relied on God like we do electricity, WiFi, or smartphones? What if we grabbed our bibles when we need answers? God carries you…

  Worthy.

  You know it shocks me sometimes how easy it is to kill so much time scanning social media. You can kill hours of your life just scrolling through hundreds of bytes of useless information. What does it really accomplish? It brings down your self esteem, it causes envy to rear…

  Hallway.

  I know everyone has heard the saying, “until God opens a door, praise him in the hallway.” But have you thought through what that actually means? The hallway is a time of waiting, a time where patience is tested and where spiritual growth happens. The hallway is where God wants…

  Consider the Lilies.

  Genuine question. What does worrying do for you? It causes physical, mental, and emotional distress. It does nothing productive for our lives at all. Fear and worry go hand in hand. The Bible tells us not to fear 365 times within its many books and chapters. That’s one do not…

  Belief & Unbelief.

  No matter how strong your faith is, or how long you have been walking with the Lord, you still have war with the flesh every single moment of the day. Look at David. He was a man after God’s own heart and the book of Psalm is filled with prayers…
