There will always be noise from life. Whether it’s the sound of a bird in the morning, a car honking its horn, laughter, conversations, the busyness of work, life in general…and so on. So many of us develop a fear or doubt regarding our…

It’s the ol’ cliche – is it good or is it God? Not necessarily the same thing, which, unfortunately, we can have a tendency to think. Why? Because we can assume that all good things come from above – James 1:17 even tells us…

This year has been one for the books… I have been asked, by God, to do things out of my comfort zone, but to also step out and trust Him in the journey He wanted me to go on He has been my hope,…

Do you ever look back, to where you have come from, within your life? How far God has bought you? The battles you have won? Or those that you thought you had lost? The Israelites wanted to remember what God had done for them…

As a young Christian, there were times when I would say, “God…if you are real…you’ll do ______, and give me that miracle.” And there were times that God was gracious to me. Yet, the times I saw nothing happen led me to go on…
