The Baby Eagle: He Smiles.

The Baby Eagle: He Smiles.: Do you ever wonder what God is doing, like at this moment? I constantly ask myself that question mostly because God is fascinating, and I&#3...

Yes and Amen.

Doubt seeps into the cracks of my spirit, but Jesus fills in the gaps of my heart with His love. Doubt, the feeling of uncertainty, takes captive of my mind, but Jesus' truth destroys every thought.  Doubt shakes me, but Jesus holds me still with his nail-pierced hands. I have been given a sure peace that consumes me, but doubt still creeps into my mind.  Why do I question my Father? Why do I question His goodness? Why do I question if He has plucked me from His hand after He already showed me His mercy? When you feel swamped in doubt, go back to God's promise to Noah in Genesis 9:13-15. "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures of every kind." God remembers us. Hold fast to the promises God has given us and continues to give us. He never...

When The World Doesn't Choose You...

Image
 I was sitting in the Dacus Library at Winthrop when I started working on my reflection for a class. I began to type out my response to a question on the desktop computer when I found myself typing out, "You don't have to be chosen by them because you are chosen by me.

I was working on homework, and my mind was set on finishing these lesson plans and reading reflections that keep piling up one after the other. --Reality.  If I am being honest, I have been in a spiritual slump. You know exactly what I am talking about. It's when you feel like God is NO WHERE to be found, but you KNOW in your soul that He is so near. Your faith in Him surpasses those lies that say, "God left you and ...

Finding My Identity

Image
Who do I identify with? One of the hardest things in life is finding yourself and who you are meant to be, and if you do not know who you are, it's tough to find people to relate to. Identity is apart of our daily lives even if we do not realize it. ---For example, to get into your dorm building, you have to have your "ID card"...or even think about it this way. At birth, we are given a social security number. This is how our state and great country, USA, identifies us; we are just a row of numbers. In sports, you have a number on the back or front of your jersey. This is how the referees and score keepers identify you. Don't you want to be more than that? I do. I am.  A new perspective... Today, a new perspective on who I am as a person occurred to me during our Sunday service here at Winthrop. In the book of Luke, Luke, a doctor and Gentile Christian wanted the Gentiles to hear the true details about the life of Jesus. In chapter 4, Luke talks about Jesus...
