Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 64:8 NIV You were created on purpose for a purpose. We are vessels to get God’s will out, and how beautiful and miraculous it is that He would choose us specifically to…
Have you ever heard the saying, “The battle is won or lost in your mind?” The more I hear and think about these words, the more I realize the truth in them. How many times do we set our minds on a goal or a dream, to later forget it or decide not to do…
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…
Growing up, my dad would often say, you perform how you practice. Take for instance, a basketball player. When he or she goes out on the court for a game, this won’t be the first time he or she has shot a ball, learned a play, or defended a player. Instead, he or she has trained consistently to…
Some days I feel like I need a total reset in my life.

Not that I’ve watched, or watch, the Twilight Zone very often, but I do have a favorite episode. It’s about a man who was the last person on earth, and he lost all hope. Just as he was about to end his life, he saw a sign in the rubble that read Public Library. He…
“Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on…
March Madness is one of my absolute favorite times of the year. I adore college basketball, and in March (and a lite bit of April) these college players give everything they have to be crowned champions. There’s incredible emotion, a lot of upsets and amazing surprises. But, as I’m watching these unbelievably exciting games, I’m…
Speaking scriptures over your life is a powerful way to incorporate God’s word into your daily routine. Declarations are also a way to fight temptations, fears and insecurities while meditating on truth. Declare Psalm 1:1-3 with me today: I am blessed I will not walk in the counsel of the ungodly I will not sit…
“For it was You who created my inward parts; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.” (Psalm 139:13 HCSB) If I were to say that no one walking this Earth at this moment knows everything about us or loves us unconditionally, how would that make you feel? People around us only know as much…
