Heart Check

So this is something that happened to me today that I thought I would share with you.  On this trip I have grown in many areas but I’m still weak in many. It is a battle everyday for me to not listen to the lies Satan runs through my head. He attacks me in my most vulnerable moments. I tend to close off and sit on my bottom in these times. Well the past couple of days have been a big struggle for me because I was just believing and acting on the lies right off the bat. There was no going to God or praying for truth in my mind. I immediately just assumed they were true and was...

Thanksgiving

God, I praise and thank you for this beautiful day. I thank you for being my father and never leaving my side. I thank you for sticking by me, even when I gave up on you. I thank you for choosing me even when I denied you. I thank you for holding me and drawing close to me when I was scared or worried. I thank you for picking me back up when I failed. I thank you for your forgiveness and redemption. For seeing me as a Saint not a sinner. I thank you for not only taking away my punishment, but then adopting me as your own daughter.  I thank you for having mercy and patience on a wicked...

What Will You Fight For?

Everyday we have a choice to be full of the Fruit of the Spirit. Some days that may come easily as we get good night sleeps and have something wonderful happen to us. Other days it can become this spiritual struggle.  Once the enemy sees something great in you, he chooses to attack you because he is the enemy of love. He will allow you to wake up feeling horrible and full of depression.  You have a choice to accept that negativity or fight for the Fruit of the Spirit. It’s not a simple choice, where you can just magically choose it and get it. I said fight for a...

Hearing God’s Word

How does God speak to you? How did God call you to serve in India?     "A thought–I don't know where it came from. But if it matches with scripture and is confirmed through prayer, then I know it was from God." -Hannah "It was something put on my heart. Not just a thought that went away." -Mack "A thought that questioned why I wouldn't go somewhere. It was confirmed through the the money that came in and a book which I read which dealt with a missionary in India. I hear God through other people and sometimes when I ask Him...

Satan is real.

     Growing up in a Christian family I was told a lot about God and how important a relationship with Him was.  When I went to church, a lot of the lessons were about God and his miraculous works He did on healing and teaching people. I was kind of in my own little world that nothing bad would ever happen to me because God could do anything.  It wasn’t until recently I learned the effects Satan can have on people and their lives. I always have known and believed that Satan was real, but I never thought he would ever attack me with anything. I can now...

The Lost Sheep

  "What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should be lost." Matthew 18: 12-14   Despite the title of this blog, I am not writing this to completely focus on "The Lost Sheep." Many times we see people fall away...
