One of the worst things we can do when we are hard pressed is to give up on God. You have to determine in your head and in your heart that giving up on God is NOT an option, it’s a trap. Ol’ slewfoot wants you to cry out “uncle” to him. He wants to […]
It’s at the darkest moments in life when we realize how much we really need God… Sometimes God allows us to get to a point where we find ourselves prostate before Him. Out of answers. Without words. Feeling as though there is nothing we can do. This is the perfect time for a “God Moment.” […]
I woke up with the theme song from Jaws going through my head, which I thought was kind of peculiar and a little disconcerting until Holy Spirit clarified the why of it… When you choose to accept Jesus Christ as Lord of your life and as your personal Savior you are “choosing” to enter into […]
If someone were to ask me to sum up what I think would be the most important piece of wisdom I could give, all in one sentence, I would say, “Know to Whom you belong…” When you Know that you belong to HIM then even in the midst of a battle – you can rest assured […]
We live in a time where we are hard pressed on ALL sides. I have been thinking a lot about the Israelites during the time they were under such oppression and slavery under the rule of pharaoh. When we read our Bible it is easy to forget that everything happened over a period of time, […]
Have you been praying relentlessly about something? Believing God to answer your prayers? Waiting diligently on Him. Checking, double-checking, triple checking yourself spiritually? Trying not to let frustration seep in? Sometimes we try too hard. We need to get into a place where we can quiet our own spirit. If Jesus Christ is your Lord […]
It is easy for us to compare God to our earthly fathers, or think of Him as this big “religious” figure who shakes His finger at us or is a wrathful mean foreboding figure. He’s not. He is the meet-you-right-where-you-are-at kind of God. He is the knows-your-thoughts-before-you-think-them kind of God (see Psalm 139). Our perception […]
When I try to think of a comparison of what “pressing in” to my faith means, I visualize a runner who is running a marathon and is determined to do the best they can to make it to the end. Moments when they have to push through the burning lungs and physical inclination of wanting […]
My style has always been one to try and reach people where they are at… I guess if my friends were to describe me, most of them would say, “Kelly doesn’t sugar coat anything. She’s the raw ingredients. She’s completely transparent and the ‘real deal… I know that if I want a direct and honest answer, I […]
Lately I’ve been living a “grit my teeth” kinda faith. You know the kind, where you don’t see it, don’t feel it but you are going to believe it and walk in it any ways faith. Not to put myself in the same faith class as Job, but I have found myself wondering this week – How did […]
A lot of things that we choose to do in life that ends up affecting us, we start out doing in ignorance. We do without having knowledge of doors we have had NO business opening. It is one reason why we must “be very careful of how we live. As wise, not as unwise making […]
Sometimes life feels like you are standing in the middle of a storm that is raging all around you. Discord, confusion, lack spinning all around you. Situations you don’t know what to do about flash into your mind like lightning. Every time you try to figure out what to do, another thunderous situation booms and […]
