I have a bit of a confession. When my husband and I first met, I got nervous when it was time to receive gifts. I was not sure that he knew me well enough to buy gifts I would genuinely enjoy.  Of course, I was always grateful for the gestures, but as the years have...

Have you ever had a moment in your life when the pressures of what was going on around you made you feel like life is just too hard?  This pressure has seemed to place you at your breaking point.  You probably have tried everything that you can think of—praying,...

I’ve been having an internal struggle throughout the past few months.  As of late, there has been an influx of ideas flowing in my mind.  For quite some time, this tussle felt like a wrestling match.  I would ask God questions like,  Which ideas should I pursue now?  ...

Deciding to give your life to Christ is hands down the best decision that anyone can make in their entire life.  There is no other moment in time that can compare. Sadly, sometimes we see people come to the altar, get saved, and somehow someway, they end up...

The voice of God has a distinct sound.  At least that is what I thought. I would often hear persons around me say, “God told me this or God told me that”.  Initially, I wondered, “How does God speak?” I thought it meant they heard some loud, robust voice that was...

Over the lifespan of humanity, this is a question that has plagued so many. People often wonder, “If I am a good person…If I make good decisions…then why do bad things happen to me?”  Innately, we believe that bad things should only happen to those that “deserve” it....
