Someone is always watching you. Not to be creepy, but this is a lesson that God continues to teach me every day. As we go about our daily lives, we are often unaware of the many people that take notice of us. Especially strangers. We don’t realize that we can influence the person in theContinue reading “The Glimpse of a Prayer Warrior”

Line?
This week I’ve had the task of getting “off-book” for the show that I am currently apart of. The term “off-book” means to have your lines memorized. This period of the performing process is where it starts to get messy as actors not only try to remember every word they’re supposed to say, but alsoContinue reading “Line?”
Simple as a Child, Sincere as a Disciple
Over the weekend I was privileged to sing with my school’s traveling group at a church for a Sunday evening service. During the invitation, people were encouraged to come down to the front “do business” with God in whatever way they needed to. As we sang, two little girls probably close to ages 5 andContinue reading “Simple as a Child, Sincere as a Disciple”
Satan’s Ready, Are You?
“Be dressed in readiness.” Luke 12:35. In going through the Gospel of Luke not too long ago, this phrase stood out to me the most. The first thing I thought of was the Armor of God. We put on the armor of God to be ready to stand against the devil, right? The fact that Jesus usedContinue reading “Satan’s Ready, Are You?”
When You Stare at Stones Walls
The other day I was sitting in our university’s quaint little prayer chapel. I sat on the kneeling bench and faced the wall like I normally do and just listened to the waters splashing down from the fountains behind me. I studied the stones and the maze of cracks picturing the people who may haveContinue reading “When You Stare at Stones Walls”
Netflix Red and Monday Blues
We all know that feeling we get on a Friday night. Half of us want to go out and party while the other half wants to spend the entire weekend in sweatpants, drinking coffee, and binge watching our favorite shows on Netflix. What doesn’t sound perfect about that? I know how it feels after aContinue reading “Netflix Red and Monday Blues”
Colorful Promises
Yesterday was cold and rainy and honestly, it felt like pneumonia was in the air. I drove home in the rain, tensing my grip on the steering wheel with each puddle I hit. I was relieved to arrive at the comfort of my home, awaiting a hot dinner and two playful kittens to cuddle. BeforeContinue reading “Colorful Promises”
Wanted Weakness
A couple of weeks ago my ankle gave out for the millionth time. The pain was enough that I couldn’t simply walk it off, but the damage didn’t require crutches either. Having my body betray me can be so frustrating, but this time around, I was reminded of God’s faithfulness. If one part of theContinue reading “Wanted Weakness”
Crossing Paths
There’s a street that I drive down to get to work and there is an elementary school nearby. During the day, a crossing guard stands at the nearest traffic light and with every car that passes by from any direction she smiles real big and waves. No matter how many cars drive past, she makesContinue reading “Crossing Paths”
Now You Know
In the last post I talked about the different types of suffering we encounter as well as the purpose of each. Now it’s time to discuss how God would want us to deal with these experiences and feelings when we’re faced with them. Here are some things to realize: You can’t escape it. First, youContinue reading “Now You Know”
