I lost my friend a few weeks ago. When I received an early morning text about her grave condition, I began to immediately and fervently pray, and had unwavering faith that God would do the impossible and heal her. As I was praying for her, I recalled the last time I saw her, a few … Continue reading Is It Wrong To Question God?
A Challenge: Finding Peace in the Midst of Uncertainty
If I could describe my life in the past week, I would borrow from the popular title, A Series of Unfortunate Events. Now I’m not completely familiar with the TV or book series, so I’m not sure if the correlation exactly fits, but let’s just go with it for now. As we were ending a … Continue reading A Challenge: Finding Peace in the Midst of Uncertainty
Looking Beyond Your Pain
Why do those who are experiencing a life of pain and heartbreak still live for God? What’s the point of serving a God who allows us to struggle through so many hardships as we go through this life? As Believers, the foundation of our Christianity should be based on faith in a divine, all-powerful, all-knowing … Continue reading Looking Beyond Your Pain
Despite the Discomfort, Keep On Running
I don’t run. I just don’t enjoy it. At all. I’m sure that’s hard to believe for a former track runner, but I loved competing. I just hated running for practice. You’ve seen all the running decals on the back of cars: 13.1, 26.2, 5K, 10K, and so on. You may even have one on … Continue reading Despite the Discomfort, Keep On Running
Keep Turning the Page
Have you ever thought about what it takes to create a great story? Think about your favorite books and/or movies. What were the characters like? And what about the plot? Do you like a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat? One with a predictable, satisfying ending, or would you rather have … Continue reading Keep Turning the Page
Who’s Writing Your Story?
After months of begging, I finally allowed my youngest daughter to watch the Netflix series, Stranger Things – but on one condition – that I watch it with her. Kennedi had warned of the language and other questionable content within the series, so I wasn’t completely in favor of Kassadi watching. But I guess she … Continue reading Who’s Writing Your Story?
When the Lord Comes THROUGH
The 2019 club track and field season has come to an end, culminating with the AAU and USATF Jr Olympics. Most of our track friends and family were down in Greensboro, North Carolina last week to compete in the AAU Games. As many of you know, we have been on an unexpected hiatus (a fast … Continue reading When the Lord Comes THROUGH
You Prayed About It, But Do You Believe?
I considered not blogging this week. We are vacationing in Myrtle Beach, getting a do-over from last year – the fabulous trip I had anticipated for months had been derailed by Kennedi’s injury. Today I laughed when I passed the ice machine near our room, jokingly telling Kenny that it would have been perfect for … Continue reading You Prayed About It, But Do You Believe?
Do You Trust God’s Promise… or Your Perception?
I recently read that Satan’s greatest weapon is his ability to deceive. That really stuck with me. So many of my recent blogs have been about overcoming mental struggles. Even when there is a tangible issue we must deal with; our battle first starts with our mental perception of the issue. In order to deceive … Continue reading Do You Trust God’s Promise… or Your Perception?
Just Breathe – It’s Already Being Worked Out
If you can’t tell by now, today’s Play Prediction is my favorite scripture in the entire Bible. And that’s pretty significant, as there are so many scriptures that I love and lean on. But this one? When I’m feeling at my lowest, and things are looking really bad, Romans 8:28 has gotten me through almost … Continue reading Just Breathe – It’s Already Being Worked Out
