Sometimes we place our hope in temporary, worldly things, which leads to disappointment. This is why we must remind ourselves as to why we are here on Earth. Remembering our one true purpose when our hopes are crushed.

Lord Show Me How
I want a pure heart. A pure heart devoted to God, the willingness to abandon all desires, worries, and qualms for a lifelong pursuit of the one true King. However it is always the how…How do you get there? This post is simply a meditation and insights about a verse.
The Distracted Christian
Are you fitful? Fussy and frustrated right now? Whenever we grow easily irritated and leaping from one worry to the next, then we must acknowledge God is no longer at the forefront of our lives. Replacing Him with idols ans false gods, we as Christians have to be careful to quickly submit our worries, so they do not absorb us. We are to be separate from the world not blending in.
The Desire to be Better
Time always seems to be slipping through our fingers. We desire to do better and be better for ourselves, families, and most importantly God, yet we fall short. We sin. It does not mean God has given up on us. In this blog post, I recap where I have fallen short, and my current desire to be who the Lord has called me to be.
The Battle Against Self Doubt Pt. 2
Why in the world does Self Doubt pack such a punch? If all we have to do is be confident and have faith in ourselves, then why do we fall continusously in depression. In this post, I take a closer examination about how self doubt affects our world and what practical steps we can take against it.
Jesus Give Me Peace
Do you sometimes think peace is imaginary? Christians talk about it and Jesus said His peace is real and evident. But where is it? Life’s struggles will never disappear, but if you can find a a moment in the overwhelmingness of life then you could breathe. Unemployment, job evaluations, divorce, break ups, destructive arguments between long time friends and family there are so many circumstances where we request from heaven the peace Jesus promised us here on Earth. Yet our hearts remain empty and our spirits shaking. Do you think, maybe asking for peace is not the issue we’re having. The Lord Jesus will not give us peace in a situation, if we’re not determined to keep our minds focused on Him.
