Wouldn't it be easy to believe in God if every time we prayed we would have immediate results? Like: “Heavenly Father, I’m short fifty bucks this week” – and Bam! - we go to the mailbox and sure enough we have a note from Aunt Chrissy, saying, “Here is fifty bucks. I just knew you …

Risking
On a scale of 1-10, my anxiety level has been hanging out around a 6 or 7 lately and that's with taking my anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication. So what's going on? - Lots! I hope you don't mind some rambling, because that's just what I need right now and I know there's got to be someone out …
Trust Is Not Blind
I held fear before my eyes 'Til all I saw was my demise Anxious thoughts scratched and clawed And tore my face away from God. For man may come to cut and take But will I allow my faith to shake? Nothing can separate me from the One Whose love shines stronger than the sun. …
Giving In to Tears
My mind is struggling with putting down the words to describe my conflicted reasoning. It seems I have come up to face a paradox of faith: Trusting in God while trying to make sense out of my troubles. Trying to determine what it is I should be doing, is not always a clear and concise …

Mirror, Mirror
I have to write this down before I forget – today – Tuesday, July 09, 2013 – regarding my quiet time with God this morning: Feeling somewhat defeated after being so hopeful coming out of Awaken, instead of reading the Bible I sat quietly with God. He began showing me, after I finally stopped whining, …
Are You a Worrier?
Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG) Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the …
