On day one of the new year, I need you to know the truth and this will be the most important blog you read all year.

Words actually can hurt you. They can crush, damage, and wound...deeply. Harsh, unkind words can long be remembered and felt.

No human is ever meant to be the person who fills our souls or holds in place your worth. Only God can do that.

We enjoy the comfort of the safe walls of the familiar. But, is this how God wants us to live? Does He want us to be constantly comfortable?

Much like softball God is also asking for your trust in His training and his timing in life.

I've heard it said that if your sin doesn't feel good, you're doing it wrong.

If you want to know if someone is truly walking close to God and following his will for their life, look to see what they are enduring.

Although we will never deserve God's goodness, he gives it. In times like this it's when I see God most.

A loving rebuke is not supposed to be like a gunshot, but like a flu shot. It may hurt, but the goal is to help the one you love get healthy

Seeking God is the conscious fixing or focusing of our mind’s attention and our heart’s affection on God.

They say if you love something let it go, and if it comes back then it was meant to be yours. I say, love doesn't leave.

Love is the highest form of maturity. It often requires a sacrificial gift.

Not only was my faith fading, the fruit of the spirit was too. I knew I had to abide in him again, so here's what I did.

So often we hear "Let Go and let God". It's a catchy christian phrase that requests something many of us resist. Surrender.

Here’s to your best reading, writing and visualizing year ever!

The more He provided, the more I unplugged. The slow fade was unnoticeable at first.
