In the prime of his youth he decided it. The tantalizing prospect of life without the fear of death... His heart raced thinking of it.

Yours truly, A Second-Rate Christian.
"I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!

A Matter of Transparency
"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick?

This “Humble” Generation

"Can you fathom the depths of God or discover the limits of the almighty?" -Job 11:7 This post is vital. Read every word.

Really, I've been soaking in the lessons God has been teaching me recently and now I feel like it is time to … Continue reading Confidence in the Conqueror
“Follow the hunch.”
Hello there, brothers and sisters! Told you it wouldn't be long until I made another one of these... Let me just get right into this one then (and yes, maybe I can keep this one shorter than the last one). Let me start with a story... So I work in a Christian bookstore in the … Continue reading “Follow the hunch.”
Peace on Troubled Waters…
Hi. Once again, it has been a while. I have a ton to share, but this particular post is something that took nearly half a year to figure out properly. (And it is something we can all relate to.) Be looking for more soon, though, because there are a lot of truths that I want to share with … Continue reading Peace on Troubled Waters…
“God brought me here…”
Wow it's been a while... I hope all is well with you, fellow readers! God has been laying some heavy stuff on my heart for this, so I'm gonna jump right into it. But before I do, I want you to think about a few things: Why are you reading this? What choices (that could have been made differently) … Continue reading “God brought me here…”
