Are you finding it difficult to Get Back on Track With God? Here are 4 things to do once you notice that you are backsliding…
It has taken my whole life to finally realize that God means what He says. Proverbs 3: 5-6 tells us to lean not on our own understanding, but to rely totally and completely on God. God also tells us in His word that He has everything under control. He knew the plan for our lives even before we were born. (Jeremiah 29:11). The Bible gives us so many verses that tell us to Trust in God..over and over and over again. One day, my 12 year old son woke up throwing up all over the place. Each time,…
Type the word “dating” into your bible search tool and what comes up? Nothing. When I was single, I remember wishing there was an entire book of the bible dedicated to the topic, or at least even a chapter. But though Scriptures are filled with foundational life-changing truths, there are still some topics that are left untouched when it comes to finding a biblical perspective. In fact, I have to chuckle to myself whenever someone asks me to give a “biblical” perspective on dating. Not only is there nothing said about the topic, but the concept of dating didn’t even…
On Valentine’s Day my husband gave me this tiny piece of artwork to put on my desk—something to make me laugh. Do you know what it says? It says, “Love you more than my iPhone.” Honesty, it had me cracking up because if the two of us aren’t mindful about our habits, someone can definitely be left feeling like they are competing with the iPhone for some love. Technology is an amazing thing. It allows you to stay connected to people miles away, form great friendships with people you have never met in person, and even launch businesses that you…
If you’re going through it… Just know there is power in prayer that even the devil can’t stop.
A relationship is not based on the time you’ve spent together, but the foundation you’ve built together. Let prayer be that foundation.
Often times, we may get upset because we feel our fate or destiny is in someone else’s hands. Maybe something has happened to us where we feel that another person is to blame. Maybe you feel you did not get a job because of the actions of someone else. However, God’s word reminds us that He is still in control. In Genesis, Joseph was sold into Egypt by his brothers, but he still had favor with God. He used him to keep food during famine for all of the lands. Joseph also prospered. When he confronted his brothers about what…
When God Makes You Wait, it can seem like an eternity. Every passing moment brings more doubt and less faith.
Don’t give the enemy the satisfaction of giving up . Here are 25 Bible Verses To Run To When You Feel Like Giving Up.
I couldn’t believe it happened to me. My first heartbreak came from a man of God. He was actually the son of a preacher, with aspirations to lead his own flock one day. Out of all the silly, mediocre relationships I’d been in that amounted to nothing, I just knew I had hit the jackpot when I started dating my man of God. I just knew we’d get married and live happily ever after. Why? Because, he was a Christian man. He wouldn’t leave me. He wouldn’t break my heart. Blah blah, blah… I can’t decide what hurt me the…

Here are 7 Rules every Christian marriage should follow:
When I was about 10 years old, God planted a dream in my heart of traveling the world. He made that dream come true for me through my service to the U.S. Navy. But never in a million years did I think I’d have the opportunity to not just visit, but live in Africa. I was stationed in Djibouti, Africa (a place I never even knew existed) for a year and while I was there I got to see Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. I’m still amazed at what God did for me through Africa. And here are a few things…
There should be a difference between what you desire and what you require.
People deal with pain in many different ways. We have our own survival stories and tactics to healing. Here are some simple steps you can try to get to your healing process. 1. Vent it all out before God. Whenever I feel anger creeping inside of me and make me want to say and do things I won’t under normal circumstances, I cry it all out to God. I know He already knows how I feel, but I tell Him just the same. I believe more than being a Judge, Creator and King, He is a loving and caring Father…
People don’t always enter therapy with personal growth as their primary goal, but they almost always leave believing they’re a better human being. In several years of helping people improve their self-awareness, self-efficacy and self-esteem, here are nine commonalities I notice become more evident as my clients grow: 1. You notice and verbalize (with composure) when you’re wrong. It’s far easier to get defensive and deny responsibility, or become overwhelmed with shame for our act of imperfection or ignorance. Being able to acknowledge when we’re in the wrong takes humility, self-compassion and courage. 2. You’re aware of your biases. We…
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. ~Hebrews 13:16 It’s funny to me how we ask to be more like Jesus yet when the time comes we cry, run, act like we can’t handle it. We get assigned to people and when their needs get to be too much for us to handle, we ask God to release us from them. Remove the load that has been placed on us because we can’t help them and ourselves. We cry out that we have too much to handle in…
This video is so on point. We’re stuck in a generation that doesn’t believe in picking up the phone to share important news. It’s so much easier to just post it on their Facebook Pages. I have a cousin who got married a couple of weeks ago and guess how myself and the rest of the family found out? Yep… Facebook. Skyping is considered talking face to face. Sad, but true.
These three tips can help you avoid making the following mistakes. Here are three biggest mistakes Christians make when dating:
