In this world, it is critical for us to remind ourselves of all the Lord has done in our lives. So often, however, we can find ourselves dismissing that notion. Perhaps because of pride, or maybe we truly aren’t sure how God has been at work in our life. Psalm 96:2-3 says, “Sing to…… Continue reading Proclaim

Judeo-Christain Foundation
“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible,” ~ George Washington Many people today are declaring that America was never a Christian nation, that it was not founded on Judeo-Christian values. And if people’s eyes are not opened to the truth, then this falsehood could become even more rooted in…… Continue reading Judeo-Christain Foundation
Family Lake Trip
Last week, my family and I drove up to North Carolina. We were meeting my dad’s side of the family at a lake house in the Appalachian Mountains for a get-together-vacation. The scenery was stunning! Even though I’ve grown up living in a mountainous area, these mountains were far grander! The size and magnitude of it…… Continue reading Family Lake Trip
To Read, To Memorize
People always wonder how to hear the Holy Spirit – to discern what is their own thought and what is God speaking to them. Obviously there is not an exact “take-home” formula for this, but there is at least one area where God has and can surely use to speak to His children: Scripture. God…… Continue reading To Read, To Memorize
Love Letter
As I was looking through Pinterest one day, I saw the above quote. And it suddenly struck me on how true that is.

Some of the emotionally weighted lyrics say: But piece by piece, he collected me up Off the ground, where you abandoned things and…… Continue reading Piece by Piece
God’s Providence
Sometimes I think we take for granted how much God protects us. All the times when He has spared our life because it was not yet our time. I was reminded of this especially over Christmas break. My mom and my brother were in the car, driving home. It was raining extremely hard when suddenly…… Continue reading God’s Providence
The History of the Candy Cane
With Christmas in only two days (how crazy is that?), I thought that it would be appropriate to do a Christmas post. And because I love history, I decided that learning about the origins of the candy cane would suffice perfectly. During the seventeenth century, Christians in Europe began to make use of Christmas trees…… Continue reading The History of the Candy Cane
Imperfect Prayers
Do you ever feel so much pressure to be perfect? I know that I do, and for all my fellow perfectionists out there, it can be an awful burden to carry can’t it? Many times, I find myself praying to the Lord and as I am, any one of these thoughts could very well be…… Continue reading Imperfect Prayers
Trust
Trust. That one word that can ignite so many different emotions in people: fear – can I really unveil my heart to someone without it being stomped on?, anger – betrayal by one previously held in your confidence, and for maybe, a few, excitement. Nevertheless, trust has a different meaning in all of our souls.…… Continue reading Trust
