Idols
Do you have idols in your life? These are the things that have replaced where God should be in your life. I once was told to think of all the things that would be dreadfully painful to lose and those are your idols. Christ longs for my attention though and finds ways to move my [...]

My Live-In-Style Talk

Letting Go
I have been so convicted the last couple of weeks in realizing that I am so dependent on other people to feel accepted and appreciated. My emotional stability is on a constant roller coaster, when people affirm me and are nice to me I’m on a high, when people ignore me or don’t affirm me [...]

Defining Love
In the past I have told you guys about my study on what “love” is. It has been an on-going study. One of those that when I hear something that sticks out about the subject, whether it is song lyrics, verses, stories, or quotes, I write them down to remember. Well this past week with [...]

One Of Those Off Nights
Do you ever just have one of those off nights? I do…probably more often then I should. It’s not necessarily that something went wrong to make me have an off night, often it creeps on and by the time I realize what’s going on it’s too late. I have already engulfed myself into deep waters [...]

Is God Answering My Prayers?
Have you ever had the frustration of feeling like God isn’t answering your prayers? I have tried from all different angles trying to understand the different ways God may be answering my prayers without me acknowledging it.

Coming Back to the Heart of Worship
Tonight was such a great night. Dani, our hall Discipleship Coordinator, planned a prayer and praise for us girls on the hall. It is so nice having a hall discipleship coordinator. I know she is praying for the hall and is encouraging me to pray for it as well. So tonight we met and sang [...]

And The Lord Gives Us Peace
This weekend was such a hard weekend, one of my closest friend’s brother died. How do you find peace in something that just makes very little since at all. When I heard the news I went straight to her room and all I could do was hold her as we both cried. There is so [...]
