This is why growth is so important. Without bringing God into our corner daily, the temptation for sin will be too great for us to withstand on our own. We need His daily reminder of WHO we are. The more we move away from that reminder of who we are, the easier it is to... Continue Reading →
The biggest mistake I ever made
Growing in Jesus is one of the most important things we can do. It keeps us out of religious-pharisee territory, and helps us remain our authentic selves. Once we stop growing, and get lazy (present company included), we have to start "faking it." That is, until the inevitable burn-out and breaking-point ensues in our faith.... Continue Reading →
Finding Your Authentic Self
After being "so done" with people-pleasing, and being used by people, I went on a journey of what I thought would make me happy. And I choose isolation and selfishness. It only spiraled down from there and I found myself in a pit of worthlessness. I didn't know if God loved me, or if he... Continue Reading →
What My Soul Needed
We like to think we're a good person because we do things for other people. But there was a time in my life all of my "doing" was motivated by wanting to be loved and accepted by others.

Where do you find your worth?
Where your treasure is... your heart will be there, also. Your self-worth will also be tied to what you treasure. Just something to think about!
Faith sees the bigger picture
Never underestimate what God is doing in your life. What would have happened to Moses if it weren't for the women in his young life stepping in to rescue him? Where would the children of Israel be? Where would Israel be today?Maybe you won't lead millions of people into the Promise land, but without your... Continue Reading →
Daughters of the King…
He loved us while we were yet sinners. Who does that? What kind of God does that?! That tells us something about who He is, and how he sees us: priceless. And sin can't, and will never change that. The beautiful thing is, when we come to Him He changes us from the insideout so... Continue Reading →
The Cost of a King
I woke up one morning a few weeks back completely overwhelmed by the love of God. I keep trying to wrap my mind around this thought: the pitiful creatures that we were, God felt we were worth the price of His perfect son. I can't even! 🤯The God of the universe sees us with an... Continue Reading →
THOUGHTS FROM THE DAY
A healthy amount of belief in oneself is as equally important as a healthy amount of belief in other people. To have one without the other is to lead a life of sequestered misery. ~ANNE DAY
THOUGHTS FROM THE DAY
Prove yourself to no one but yourself and you will unintentionally prove yourself to the world. ~ANNE DAY
