I hardly know where to begin describing my trip to Haiti. My life will forever be changed by that experience. We arrived in Haiti Friday night around dinner time, so we picked our beds and went into the dining hall/ team center for our dinner. The next day, we didn’t really have a set […]
A Still More Excellent Way Today I will be speaking on 1 Corinthians 13, verses 1-7. Before I begin with chapter 13, I will summarize chapter 12. Chapter 12 talks about spiritual gifts and their usefulness and importance. In the conclusion of the chapter, 1 Corinthians 12:31 says,” And I will show you a still more […]
God will never give you more than you can handle. Growing up I believed this common “christian” phrase meant to reassure us that we can overcome the obstacles put in front of us. But that’s not true. We cannot overcome the obstacles in front of us, whatever they may be, on our own. Thankfully we […]

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 […]
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 […]
In this generation, God seems so small, and we as a nation seem not to experience miracles as much as the past times that we read about. Or so we think. God has not ceased helping us, though there are indeed not as many noticeable “miracles” as there used to be in Biblical times. God still […]
I recently returned from an all week mission with my youth group, and while I was there, I gathered some inspiration. This post will have a mix of topics, so bear with me. First, I realized the power of prayer. I have a coin that has written on it 1 John 5:14,” This is the […]
