Let This Book Encourage You

I have grown such an affinity for the Psalms. I would, and do, recommend that anyone battling illness make it a point to read a portion of the Book every single day. It’s so applicable to our journeys; it acknowledges the reality, the pain, the ups and downs, and the emotions, but then encourages, uplifts, and brings attention back to God and His goodness.

The Anxiety in Surrender

Surrender is only one aspect of our faith, but it’s monumental. It’s not easy; if anyone has told you otherwise, well, he or she was lying. Surrender is not only a product of transformation, but a result thereof.

You Already Have What You Need - Part 4

That’s the beauty of the Gospel and faith, that we all have our own testimonies, stories, and journeys with each. And I believe that it’s that personalization that makes these pieces of armor stronger, as long as we use them how they are intended to be used, and we continue to glorify God.

You Already Have What You Need - Part 2

Our belief and faith in truth - Jesus Christ and the Word of God - is what holds everything together. It’s where we can securely tuck in our weapons and coverings. It’s the part of our armor that isn’t always noticeable but is indispensable.

Walking the Ledge

Yet, in all of the mistakes we made when we were up on that ledge, no matter how much our faith wavered, God deemed us worthy of His sustainment. How much must He love us to still rescue us in our panic and unbelief? And how astonishing must His mercy be for Him to not allow us to fall off the edge?

The Thin Line of Fatigue

The reality is, many of us ARE really just pushing through each day. The desire to stay in bed, lie on the couch and/or check out is so strong. Waking up after a full night's rest not feeling refreshed sucks, but a lot of us experience it night after night. Our bodies are sluggish and our minds seem to be working in slow-motion.

There's Always a Word Waiting For You

The Bible is still applicable today, and more often than not, the words we want and need to hear are written between Genesis 1:1 and Revelation 22:21.
