Sincerity in front of others.
The first time I saw someone actually leave their seat at church to kneel down to pray, I felt uncomfortable. The chruch I grew up in, you would never show this type of humbling in public. It was looked down upon, or at least it felt that way. But the church I am in now…

Consistency Brings Stability
Consistency brings stability… and joy… if you let it. While a train job can be rewarding, some find the long periods of driving, the potential for monotony, and the responsibility of ensuring safety to be the most challenging and potentially boring aspect. I kind of see that in the monotony of everyday living. We seem…

Fulfillment in where God takes us.
I always loved to sing, and I had this dream that I would one day sing in front of thousands of people. I don’t really have the talent or the training to make a living with my voice, but I didn’t let that stop me from enjoying it. I still use my voice to bring…

Hostess
Dear Hostess, Hey girly. I want to tell you a little about my mom today. My mom is a wonderful lady that absolutely loves having people over to the house for fellowship and fun. From the very beginning, I remember a constant flow of people coming in and out of my house. Anyone from older…

Hear His Voice and Follow Him.
We are called his sheep in the Bible. At first I thought about how sheep can’t do anything on their own. Then I imagined a sheep finding themselves in trouble and that there would probably be nothing they could do to save themselves. But… finally, I understand that the shepard is the one who is…

Wonders all around you.
Summer is slowly coming to and end, so get out there and enjoy the last month or so of sunshine. This last week in Burrrr-midji, Minnesota has been so cold. I have been wishing so hard that fall is not yet here, but God simply playing with us because I am not ready for fall…

It is a journey
The Christian life takes focus and dedication. I have said it before and I will probably say it again, “The Christian life doesn’t not happen naturally. It takes work and choosing each and every day to remain strong in your walk with God.” There will be times we stumble and fall, but we can get…

Lost in other worlds.
Too often we find ourselves lost in other worlds, rather than being forcusted on our own. We filll our eyes with fantasies on our TVs or in our phones. Our minds are more focused on the “what if’s” or the “I wishes” that we fail to see the blessings in our own lives. I know…

School it hear.
I just want to wish everyone that is headed back to school to have a wonderful year. I know that you are at the very beginning of a lot of change and learning, but you got this. Remember, if you are struggling with anything ask for help, that’s what teachers are for. Don’t let your…

Taking a break
Sometimes, we need to take a break. A break from work, life, or whatever fills your days with craziness. For me to do this, I need to spend time with God alone. I need to leave the house and go to the park, coffee shop, or simply take a drive. But the most important part…
