Encourage Others

God puts people in your life for a reason. Instead of trying to glean something off of others, why don't you give to them and encourage them? Please listen to this song, "Today," by Kirk Franklin. So good!

Get Rid of Distractions!

"I said to myself, 'I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me.' But as I stood there in silence- not even speaking of good things- the turmoil within me grew worse. The more I thought about it, the hotter I got, igniting a fire of words; 'Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered- how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.'" - Psalm 39:1-5 I have been meditating constantly on these verses lately. The reason for this is because I feel like there are things that I have wasted my life away with. I have been doing these things instead of encouraging others, praying, reading the Bible, and spending time with God. As I look back at some of the things I did, I am saddened. It's not that all these things are ungodly; it's just that t...

Book Spotlight - To Slay a Curse by Rae Graham

Today I have a different kind of post than I normally write. A good friend of mine wrote and published her first book! She takes Biblical concepts and puts them into an adventure-filled story full of forgiveness and hope. Definitely worth the read!  I encourage you to check it out :) A parasitic monster. A timid young woman. A deadly inner world. Giselle is cursed. A monster lives within her, preying upon her mind. She sees no hope for her future when thoughts disappear as they form, and every small pleasure is met with a fit of pain. Then her closest friend offers her a single, harrowing chance at freedom. Terrified that failure is inevitable, but desperate for the life stolen from her, she sets out to slay her curse armed with a magical talisman. Now, the girl who can’t do anything right must defeat the beast within before her dreamsnare fills, or risk dying trapped in her own mind.  What Readers are Saying: “This book excels at feeling cozy, heartwarming, and altogether lov...

Standing Strong Against Temptation

There's one thing that we won't be able to run from no matter how many times we try to, and that's temptation. Temptation is always coming at us every which way. There's temptation when you go to school or work, when you're alone, and when you're hanging out with friends. There's temptation to watch ungodly movies, read ungodly books, and listen to ungodly music.There's temptation to take things into our bodies that we shouldn't be. You might not even realize you're being tempted at the moment, because the temptation is something a lot of your friends are doing, and it's normal to them. For instance, eating something sweet right before you go to bed. Or drinking pop when your parents told you not to. Or taking that extra piece of candy when no one was looking. But don't worry; you're not alone! We're all being tempted to do things. We're all human. Even Jesus was tempted when He was fasting for forty days. So, what do ...
