What I’ve learned through COVID-19

Goodness where to start, this time has brought up so many feelings; feelings that I thought I’d processed already but that came up again when it came time to quarantine. Coming from someone who is at higher risk of developing COVID I knew deep down that the safer at home order was crucial but nonetheless…

Spiritual warfare and grief!

I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t struggling right now! Between a wave of grief that’s darn near knocked me down and fighting lies from the enemy trying to tear me away from God, there’s been so much happening. Since Mother’s Day I’ve been stuck in this funk, a funk/depression thing I feel…

Seasons of Change

You know those seasons where it just feels like life throws curveball after curveball towards you? You know those seasons where you have so much to say but can’t find the words to express all of it? You know that season where you know you aren’t but you’re stuck in such a season of change…

Overcoming hardships

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the…

Be still

Yesterday as I was rushing from class to class, I began to stop and think knowing I had 4 minutes left to get back to class before the professor started to lecture after our 10 minute break, why is this world so fast paced. Why am I planning out how much time I would have…

Politics and God

WARNING: This post is going to be different than any other post I’ve ever written. I’ve been thinking tonight a lot about the new “Trumpcare” that was just passed by the house of representatives and researching the preexisting conditions that will inhibit the process of receiving healthcare. Some of these include from what I’ve read,…

Creating idols

Joshua 1:9 says “this is my command- be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”  Lately God has been challenging me when it comes to trusting him with all of my heart. I’ve found myself leaning on my own understanding more than…

Getting stuck in the what if’s

How come it is so easy for us to get stuck in the what if’s of life. Why does constantly getting stuck in the what if’s cause so much anxiety and stress? I’ve noticed a lot lately that my focus has been in other places rather than focused on God because I’m so stuck in…

Trusting in god

You know those weeks when things just start feeling out of control, overwhelming and nerve wrecking? That’s been me and quite a few others that I’ve encountered this week so far. The week before finals is always stressful but something’s just a little different about this finals week. I’m preparing to graduate and that’s so…

Stress

In contemporary society it is so easy for us as christians to fall into pleasing people rather than pleasing the wonderful God we serve. I’ve been thinking a lot about what constitutes worship in gods eyes. It is often overlooked how everything we do is considered worship of god, whether it be who we let…
