Authentic
Definition: representing one’s true nature or beliefs; true to oneself or to the person identified: “Keeping it real” is a turn of phrase that means essentially being authentic. I don’t know how many people I’ve seen act differently in different groups because you can tell they are trying to be something they aren’t! Hey, I…

Your Heart
Did you know that God is after your heart above all else? Why your heart and not your mind or your marital status or your family? Why is God after your heart? The Bible says that out of the heart, the mouth speaks. (Matt. 12:34) Jesus also said that everything that goes into us doesn’t…

Rest vs. Hard Work
Rest, rest, rest! It’s pushed at us so much at church, in Christian books and posts. The idea of rest is so important – ITS A COMMAND FROM GOD! We are in a generation that is so busy that it can feel like the world is on our shoulders and it’s all on us or…

I hope you fail
Catchy title, I know. Hear me out. We are our own worst enemy at times. We do have a real enemy but a lot of the times that enemy can just use us against ourselves. So with that said, your ego and pride can really be used against you. If you are a child of…

Grace for Growth
Growth by definition is a process. Why do our brains then think as soon as a journey begins that we should have it all figured out? At least we can get to a point to just remind ourselves, “take it easy this is a process.” Have you ever seen someone come in to church wearing…

Dreams
dream – noun A dream or vision is almost always something with expectation attached to it: it puts our hopes somewhere for the future. Dreams are a way that God speaks to us! We sleep 1/3 of our day. 8 hours (is the average sleep time frame) is a long time and while we are…

The Valley
It’s just a season. Baby, don’t camp out in the valley, it’s just a season. I have life lessons all over this one. When you’re down and out or at your last few dollars or have to move back in with you parents or your car is broken down and you don’t know when or…

Walk it Out
Talk is cheap. Coming from someone who’s love language is words of affirmation – this is a hard pill to swallow. Let me unfold this.. Words matter. The way we talk about ourselves, others, our future and our relationships all make a huge impact on us and those around us. BUT. Sometimes words spoken need…
