Happy Hiking Boots + What Should I Write??
Happy Friday lovely readers and followers! Life is busy as usual, with many good things happening all around me (including my brother’s upcoming wedding!). Anyway, while life is running a mile a minute and I’m trying to edit my book, sometimes I get stuck on what to post for my blog. I always let the Holy Spirit be my guide when it comes to writing posts about my faith, but that doesn’t mean I never get writer’s block! So I’m asking for your help. What do you want me to write about? Is there any life issue you’re facing or advice you think I can provide? Do you want me…

No Fear in Love
It’s no secret that there is a lot of evil in this world. With all of the mass shootings in America and overseas, and the spread of evil terrorist groups, it seems that the world is falling into darkness. The Bible said that this would happen. Evil has been in the world since the fall of Adam, and it will only continue until the Lord Jesus Christ comes back. Why do these things happen? People have all sorts of explanation–including blaming God. Just to be clear, God does not cause sin to happen, but He does allow it to happen here on earth (James 1:13). As sons and daughters of God we will…

How to Live By God's Spirit
As Christians, there is a common scenario that is probably familiar to all of us: someone gets hurt or sick and we pray for them to be healed. However, that’s also when those feelings of doubt can come creeping in and we wonder, “what if they’re not healed?” This has troubled me for quite some time. I have witnessed healings and miracles, and I fully believe in the active presence of the Holy Spirit. However, just like everyone else, even I have doubts. I get frustrated when my prayers aren’t answered right away, and sometimes I can’t help but wonder if it was because I didn’t pray hard enough. Like I said…

The Honest Prayer
(Photo Credit) Prayer. As Christians, it’s something that we all do. Hopefully it is something that we all pursue to do more of. Prayer is our communication link to God–it is the way we talk and connect with Him. Here we can tell Him our thoughts and feelings, our worries and our needs, and also give praise and worship. If God is all powerful and knows our thoughts and heart, then why do we need to express them out loud to Him? Why do we need to talk to God if He can hear our conscious thoughts? I guess the simplest answer to this question would be because God wants…

The Spirit of Freedom
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17 NIV). God’s Spirit, the Holy Spirit of creation that makes miracles and saves, is what we receive upon salvation. That’s right–the very Spirit of our Lord resides within us, and in Him we find freedom and perfect love! Before salvation our spirit was crushed and devastated by sin, but Jesus’ blood has cleansed us and made us pure. We are now free from the chains and bondage of sin. It does not matter what you went through or what lies ahead, because God is always there to guide you and…
