Functioning through a Storm…

As I write this post I am sitting in the airport.  As I was traveling making my way to the airport I was in the midst of a real heavy storm.  As I was driving I was praying.  I was asking God for safety in the storm and I was asking God for a timely arrival so I wouldn’t miss …

It is Not About Me…

Why do we go through trials and tribulations?  Why do we endure the hardships of life?  Why does it seem like we are being punished?  I am sure many of us who have had to endure rough times have asked these questions.  Many of us are tricked by the devil into believing that what we have gone through is always …

The Struggle of Faith…

Many of us struggle with faith. I believe that is why God did not ask that our faith be gigantic…he said the size of a mustard seed.

Spiritual Graduation…

As I am sitting here at my son’s graduation from Elementary school my mind began to think on how he is moving from one level to the next.  He will be in middle school next year which will come with more challenges and battles which he did not experience in elementary school.   How many of you believe that we …

Recycled Love…

Do you believe that God loves you? If you believe in the scriptures, especially John 3:16 (For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life), then you know that the love God has for you is not matched in any kind of way. God’s …
