It’s Not There...
As a Christian I’ve learned that the way to get answers or fix a bad mood or even just to find a little lift to a normal day, is by connecting with God. I’ve also learned that there are many ways to connect with God. Not just the traditional read the bible, pray, fast and...
Making the Hard Decisio...
There are times in life that we know what we’re supposed to do; whether it’s something a teacher tells us to do, a parent encourages us to pursue or a feeling coming from within. Those decisions are easy decisions. We know we’re supposed to do something and then we have...
The Other Type of Faith...
Through my spiritual journey I’m discovering that there are all different types of faith. Some I’ve gotten pretty good at and others I’m discovering are a weakness. Right now in my life there seems to be 2 different types of faith. The first type of faith is what I call...
Real Desires of the Hea...
Normally my blog posts come about by what God puts on my heart. Whether it’s seeing something and deciding to write about it, having a dream, or experiencing something in life. However, every once and a while, I see a theme in the other blogs I read and feel the need to write about...
Oh To Be Loved...
Oh to be young. Oh to be cared for. Oh to be carefree. Oh to be loved. Oh to be hopeful. Oh to be optimistic. Oh to be joyful. Oh to be loved. Oh to be considered. Oh to be acknowledged. Oh to be looked towards. Oh to be loved. “I love those who love me, And those who seek me...
The (not so) Do Gooder...
**I posted this a few months ago but in light of what’s laying heavy on my heart, I thought I’d re-post it today. I can’t emphasize enough how much actions speak louder than words. I think it’s the lamest thing in the world when people who claim to love God &...
Music Tuesday:Bradley H...
The word joy seems to be ringing in my heart lately so I thought, what better way to spend Music Tuesday than talking about joy? Not happiness. I’m talking about JOY. The type of joy that’s found deep within your soul. Your source of peace and contentment, even if things are...
What An Attitude!!...
There are many days in this nice 9 month journey that I’m just Jess with a belly. But then there are other days…and those days seem to be getting more frequent now that I’m in my third trimester. I’m talking about the days when I laugh, cry, become sad, then happy,...
A Change of SeasonsR...
My favorite part of any church service is the worship part. Hands down, it’s my favorite way to connect with God. The combination of spirit-filled lyrics, a catchy beat and the high energy of a room full of Jesus lovers is the ultimate high. But what happens when the lights come...
There IS Hope…...
A must read on this Easter Sunday. ———————————————- Victory is on the Other Side of Failure by Glynnis Whitwer “The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you...
A Special (Good) Friday...
Normally my Friday posts are light hearted and fun. But whether you’re Jewish, Christian, Catholic or a non-categorized believer…this is a big weekend for most people as it’s Passover/Good Friday/Easter. Instead of finding a way to tell you how important this weekend is,...
Pick a Lane, Any Lane...
This morning I really felt God speak directly to my heart. He said “Just Breathe.” That was the answer to the 20 minute prayer I had. To take a deep breathe and relax. To just trust Him the way that I say I do. He then showed me (while driving) how a highway has 3 lanes: The fast... Is the bible your favor...
Do you like reading the bible? Seriously. You don’t have to answer out loud…but hear this, God knows your answer already. Scary thought huh? Especially if you’re a Christian who believes that reading your bible is incredibly important to God. Want to know my answer? My...
Update on the Changes...
Remember my (pretty dramatic) post on our life changes? If not, read here. All caught up? Good. Because it’s time for an update. Change #1: We’re moving. Update: We informed our apartment complex that we will be out of our place by April 30th. Over the past month we’ve...
