I’ll never forget the morning of April 9, 2014. I was in homeroom and I got a text from my friend Katia. She said to pray for two kids in her school because they got stabbed. I said I would, thinking that they got stabbed on the way to school or something. Then she told …
Fear of Fulfilling the Great Comission
This week’s Verse of the Week is Acts 1:8- Stop. Do you know what this verse is? Before I include it, (I’ve linked to it, so you can look at the whole verse at the bottom of this post!) this should be one of the defining verses of our faith. So why isn’t it one that …
Salty?
This world is a dark place, but I don’t have to tell you that because all it takes is picking up the remote and turning on the news or looking at Facebook to remind you just how dark it is. With the terror attack in Brussels last week, more local events and so many other …
Grace is Better
It is is our weakness that God shows His power through us. We need to be willing to admit that we can’t fix it or control it so that He will work in our lives.
The Hard Times
You never think that the things you see on the news would happen to you or someone you know. But they do. I never thought I’d see a high school 20 minutes away from mine where my two best friends were enrolled on the news after a stabbing. But I did. I never thought I’d …
Silent Saturday
The one they placed all of their hope in was gone. Saturday was the day they didn’t know if Jesus was coming back. He said He would, but He was now in a tomb. What were they supposed to do? What were they supposed to think?
The Holiday I’ve Never Understood
I can’t be the only one who hasn’t thought that calling the Friday before Easter “good” made any sense whatsoever, can I? Nothing inherently good comes to mind of the events that happened on “Good Friday.” Let’s take a look at the events of the day, shall we? Judas was a close friend of Jesus had already …
I choose to rejoice.
Our verse of the week this week is Psalm 118:24. “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (NLT) I’ve feel like I’ve been running around like crazy lately. I just can’t seem to function without my head spinning. So..this psalm speaks of Israelite victory over their …
Break the Fall
I was outside with my 3 year old sister a few months ago and we were playing in the backyard. We have a clubhouse kind of thing that the kids play on. There’s this ladder to climb up to the top so you can go down the slide. Well, I was being cautious and was …
Why I Love Jesus and America
and it’s okay. Why do I love Jesus? “All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live …
