Stop Putting Humans Where God Should Be
Okay so Rachel Hollis…. Let me preface what I am going to say with this: I own 2 of her books. I have not completely read them all the way through, I have cherry picked what I read from them and only read them on a situational basis. I do not listen to her TED…

God take this pain from me
I really just want to be at the whole clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future part of my life now please. I don’t feel strong enough to survive this pain much longer. Key word there being “I”, I guess. God needs to be my strength. I need to let…

Chrissy Teigen’s Loss
Let me begin this post by saying I am a Pro-Life advocate and supporter. I have been following Lila Rose since she spoke at my college in 2012. And I appreciate that she has been posting to her pages about Chrissy Teigen’s loss. I don’t know her motives for posting. But I know that every…

Tea Time
How easy is it to settle into the comforts of tea time. I’m not talking about the traditional across the pond time of day to sip tea and nosh on tiny sandwiches…I’m talking about sharing gossip. We feed off of what others are sharing about others. The gossip may even come in the form of…

Judgements
I’m so guilty of living a life that I’ve judged others for living. Living a life filled with sin and moments of straying from my walk with God. Yesterday I was called out on my judgement of what others wear, while not necessarily following the modesty guidelines I’ve set for myself. It’s hot so I’m…

There is a total shut down that happens. And…

Honesty
I’m hard wired to put others before myself. To a fault. My automatic response to “How are you?” is to immediately respond with “I’m fine.” and change the topic to the other person. I’m probably not fine. I’m most likely swimming in a sea of spastic thoughts that can’t contain or regulate themselves. But I…

Surrender
I have held it together for so long I forget what it means to not put on a façade. I hold it together until my breathing is shallow and quick and the walls close in around me and I’m on the floor in a panic attack. I hold it together so the outside world doesn’t know that inside…

Grace
The other night I felt so defeated in my sin. I allowed myself to feel overwhelmed and suffocated by shame. Instead of turning to God and relinquishing the control I hold on to so tightly, I clung to my sin. The thought of never being able to conquer this sin left me feeling like a…

Shame
I live in this constant fear that my sin will be exposed. You can know my testimony…just not those parts. You can see the ugly sides of me that I let you see…just not those sides. I’ve come to realize that some sins seem to be more acceptable than others. Some sins are seen as…
