I had a dream recently where I was traveling with a friend and decided I wanted to add more shoes to my already overflowing bag. As I tried to stuff the shoes in the bag, it just wasn’t working. The extra shoes added way more pounds to the bag, and wouldn’t allow the zipper to…
Whenever I feel that God is calling me to do something, I get nervous. I think about how unfit I am, how I’m not as knowledgeable as I can be, how I sin, etc. One day as I was wrestling with these fears, I thought, well, even if all these things are true, that doesn’t…
When I was a youth ministry leader, there was one thing I hoped to get across to my students – being a “good” person will not get them into heaven and being a “bad” person will not keep them out of heaven. Believing in Jesus Christ is the only requirement for entrance into heaven. For…
There are a lot of things I admire about Jesus, but one thing that has stuck out to me lately, is how mentally strong Jesus was during His time on earth. Here is just one example: Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty…

Isn’t it amazing that our bodies need rest to function properly? And not just one, two or even three hours of rest, but eight hours of sleep per day, seven days a week. We can not neglect rest. God even rested, and I believe that is our cue to do the same. “By the seventh…
Today, I want to remind you to be your authentic and true self. The world needs YOU – not who you’re emulating, not who you’re trying to be – who you actually are! There is a call on your life that only you can answer. Seasonless areas are waiting for your matchless flavor (Matthew 5:13).…
Recently, I’ve been thinking about how to put action behind how thankful I am for all God has done in my life. But, the more I think about it, God is definitely the Father that already has everything. So, what could I possibly give? And then it occurred to me. My life is the only…
