Most people today like to plan. They plan out their lives and what they will do to achieve a certain result. The problem is that they are usually not following God’s calendar. They hold on to their plans and create a certain path they “need” to follow. They aren’t pleased when God taps them on the […]
The Art of Kindness
Today I am writing about kindness, but not because this is something I understand. I struggle with kindness, but God laid it on my heart to write about something I am not good at. As you may remember from some of my other blogs, my primary gift is prophecy, which is not the most compassionate […]
In the Center
A while ago I hiked through a creek with my brother and a friend. While I was clinging to roots hoping they wouldn’t break or walking on a log over the water hoping it wouldn’t roll, I worried about what might happen if one if us were to fall. I reminded myself that wherever I […]
Guilty
The Newsboys just published an amazing new song about standing up for our beliefs, no matter what the cost. It makes me wonder if I would be the one the standing before the jury, pleading guilty of speaking the name of Jesus. I know I should. The movie God’s Not Dead and its coming sequel […]
Whispers and Shouts

What Faith can Do
This post is based the song by Kutless called What Faith can Do. This song describes the amazing things faith can do and what to do when you fall. The main verse of the song is,” I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains, hope that doesn’t ever end even when the sky is falling…” . This describes […]
The Gift of Prophesy
I am taking a spiritual gifts class at my church and have discovered my primary gift is prophesy. I would say that the gift of prophesy is one of the rarest and most disliked of the seven gifts, which are leadership/administration, mercy, exhortation, giving, service, teaching, and prophesy. This gift is mainly disliked because of […]
Homeschooling
I’m homeschooling for my first year after being in public school all my life, and I enjoy having the freedom to complete my classes whenever I want, and being able to choose for the first time what I want to do with my life. For example, right now I am writing this blog with my […]
