    From Struck with Fear to Freedom

    When I was 4 or 5, I experienced my first grief. My mother's best friend died of a heart attack. I came home to find my mom crying at the top of the stairs uncontrollably. I did all I could to soothe her, but I didn't realize what death really was. Later, in school, the kids at the lunch table...

    I Am Not Afraid

    It's hard to need something so badly, to feel so very desperate and to only be able to beg God to deliver. It's hard to be down here while He's up there, feeling so very far away. It's even harder to just let go and trust that He's got it. Sometimes I start to feel like He's forgotten me or...

    I NEED JESUS!!

    I NEED JESUS! Lol no but really. I’ve been through a lot this year. Good and bad. And I think about God a lot. And for some reason I still struggle with the fact that it’s not our works that get us into heaven. It’s like even thought I know it, I hear it all the time. I don’t think I know it in...

    Is caring if people criticize your interests a sin?

    Can not saying something for the purpose of avoiding someone’s criticism be sin? What if it isn’t nessesary? Should you still do it in that knowledge that, in not doing it, you would be avoiding your initial fear and perhaps sinning as a result?

    How Do We Love?

    1 John 4:1-6 NASB Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
