Limitless Faith
If you’re reading this, then there’s a really good chance you’re a Christian. Now I’m not a numbers person (hence why I’m a blogger), so I can’t give statistics. However, there are a lot of people–some even calling themselves Christians–who say they believe in God, but leave Him in the backgrounds of their lives. There’s no judgment here as this used to be me (and sometimes still is unfortunately). Here’s what I don’t understand. How can someone truly believe in God and not want more of Him? How can you believe in an all-powerful being who created the heavens, galaxies, and Earth and all of its inhabitants, and not want more?…

The Bare Bones of Worship
Life can be stressful. Correction–life is more like a vortex of stress, busyness, joy, and difficulty all mixed together. Even the good times can be overwhelming and just darn distracting. All of these distractions can easily affect our worship. Some distractions are mundane–social media, kids, work, and T.V. But what about the hard times? What about the giants of life such as sick family members, finals, or financial worries? These giants can become so big, that they distract us from God even in our worship. This happens when our problems become bigger than the God of our lives. I love to worship and praise to music, and I am blessed…

Help a Dog!
So I went back and forth in my mind deciding whether or not my blog would be an appropriate place to share this. Well, since my friend Cody is in desperate need, the Holy Spirit is tugging my heart, and this is my blog, why not! This is Cody, and he is one extraordinary young man. I often take a cab to college because I can’t drive (due to health issues). Anyway, Cody picks me up a lot, and I’ve gotten to know him quite well. Cody is in his twenties but works twelve hour shifts so he can take care of himself and his fourteen year old nephew--who he’s…

Anchors
Confession–I hate scheduling blog posts. Although I may plan to write about certain topics, I find that I just can’t force it creatively. So here’s to tonight’s rant (yes, it’s Tuesday night as I write this). Right now I have a migraine and it sucks. It feels like my whole body has been working against me these last couple of years. I have IBS, POTS, and these stupid neurological migraines. And yet, even as I write this I feel guilty for complaining. After all, I don’t have cancer or anything. I really am quite blessed. I guess it’s just hard because I have so much I want to be doing…

You've Won
You’ve won me over With a tidal wave of love; And I can’t help but sing. The walls are pressing in and The pressure is stifling. But You are there– The calm in the storm. Tell me You love me as You hold me tight. And I’ll tell you I’m sorry For all the things I said, And all the ways I didn’t measure up. I need to know Your beauty; I crave Your majesty. All day long I hunger, Searching for You in the middle Of my mess. Pull back the dark curtains From my eyes. Dig up my buried heart, So it can breathe in Your grace again.…
