Trust God: He is The Good Shepherd Do you ever wish life was easy? Like all rainbows and unicorns? I do. Lots of fun times and no bad. Unfortunately, that’s not how life is. Even the Bible promises we will have trouble. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “Here on earth you will have many trials […]

Do you ever feel stuck? Like you should be doing something that you aren’t doing? It could be that you know exactly what you should do but you just can’t do it, for whatever reason. Or you just keep doing what you should stop doing? I have felt that way for over a year. I
It’s hard to believe 2018 has come and gone. It was a year full of struggles but also blessings. I am looking forward to 2019. To me, it is a year of new beginnings. While I don’t know what is in store, I know that God is in control. I have always considered picking a
Life is hard. It’s a struggle. Especially when going through a difficult time. You lean on God. You pray for wisdom and guidance. You seek Him above all else. But still, sometimes, you are unsure of the path to take. Well meaning friends give advice. It sounds good, especially since they are Christians. But other

I know I’ve said it before (seems to be the theme lately), but being in the midst of a trial is very difficult and painful. If it wasn’t then I guess it wouldn’t be a trial. We need the pain in order to turn to God for strength, and also to allow Got to work

Patience. They say you should never pray for it because it’s not something given. It has to be earned/learned. The things that teach patience are never fun. However, God’s word says in Romans 12:12, “Rejoice in hope, be patient in affliction and be persistent in prayer (CSB).” Yikes!! Patient in affliction?! I can tell you
Faith. Hope. Belief. They are truly hard concepts when you are in the middle of the storm. What exactly do they mean? Faith is described in the Bible as believing in something you can’t see (Hebrews 11:1). Wouldn’t hope and belief be the same? If you hope for something, you haven’t seen it or attained

Life is hard, unfortunately. While there are many mountaintop experiences, there are just as many (if not more) valley experiences. We need both in order to grow and become who God created us to be. I just have to say, though, that going through the valley, going through the fire, being broken…it SUCKS!! It hurts!

Trusting God. Sometimes it seems so simple, yet in reality, it is quite difficult. As Hebrew 11:1 states, “Faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen (CSB).” Reality equals assurance, substance, confidence (depending on the translation). Basically, it’s believing in something we can’t see. We trust and
Wow! Life is crazy! Here I am again with so many thoughts and ideas swirling in my head, I don’t know where to begin. God is really working in my life, refining me, revealing areas of weakness, making me into who I need to be. Unfortunately, that makes the enemy work just as hard, if
