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...
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...
I spent years waiting and watching... I thought it was my fault. Everyday, during middle and high school, I looked in the mirror and thought, "What can I do differently today that I haven't done yet? How can I do my hair different? Will he like it curly or straight? Is this shirt tight enough? Will he notice my efforts? Will he notice me at all?"---In those years, I watched all of my friends find boys and enter the world of love, but I was not included. I spent nights crying over boys that didn't even know I existed. You may think that this is so cliche, but it's true. Girls spend majority of their time thinking about what they can do to impress the opposite sex. We try everything from a new hair cut, a new hair color, new clothes, or even a new personality. We will totally change who we are just to get them to turn their heads. I thought it was my fault that the boys didn't like me in "that way"...What did I not have that the other girls ha...
Let's be real...life is hard. Life was not meant to be a straight path that comes with no pain or suffering. It is a life of hills and valleys, and when we find ourself in a valley, our thoughts, speech, and actions are not always of God or for God. When God is all we can think about, those valleys will seem so small. When we desire a relationship with Him, those pits of sin will never be able to hold us down. God is the daily joy that we have and can relish in. Here's 11 reasons why you're going to be okay. You are not alone. You are redeemed. You are strong through Jesus. You have worth. You are not broken or beat down too much for Jesus. You are the light of the world. You are the salt of the Earth. You are a temple and dwelling place. You are apart of Christ's body. You are a citizen of Heaven. You are loved and cared for. Whatever you need today you will find only in Jesus Christ. Realize that God sees more in you th...
