Like flowers
Have you walked in a garden, where different flowers grew, ones you’ve never seen before; ones that don’t typically grow where you live? Yet, you’re captivated by their beauty and uniqueness. Friend, we should see people that are different from us like that. I’m not talking about those that choose to go against God. I’m…

Listen to His guidance
God put something in my heart months ago. So, I did what I felt encouraged to do at the time. It took months later until I saw the results. Though, I am so glad that I listened. It was less about me seeing the result, and more about them getting the message. God knew when…

Go to God over it
“Don’t try to make sense, of people that don’t make sense.” My dad said this to me recently, after being upset about something. In brief, what had happened is someone was trying to create trouble, for reasons I think only them and God really know. In trying to make sense of why this person was…

Stand firm in your faith
I can’t not, not show in my character and actions that I love God. Though I don’t ever push faith on people, it is important that my character reflect it. There are so many people that love God, or at least say they do, yet they hide it. They hide it behind society norms, societal…

Though I always wondered how their worth is decided. Who can say that one painting is worth little, while another is worth much. Especially being that the…

Shared joy
I watched a video where a little girl got a prosthetic leg. She eagerly went to school to show all of her friends and classmates. Many of the children ran to the little girl excitedly in celebration. They hugged her, ran with her, cheered for her. I dare say they were just as happy as…

God’s blessings
We lost power today. Ultimately, for only a very short bit. Though it was a quick reminder of how much I had taken it for granted. Suddenly I was worried about the food going bad in my fridge, my house staying warm, being able to cook food, having light, doing school work and getting laundry…

When I pray
In the waiting, I will trust Him as I pray Through the journey I will trust Him everyday Even when things seem a little unknown I will remember the faithfulness that He’s shown Through the good and through the bad Through the happy and the sad He’s always been by my side With love He…

Putting other’s first
There is a memory that stands out to me from when I was very young. My mom, dad, brother and I went to this big outdoor picnic somewhere. Admittingly, I don’t recall what it was for. I just remember being there and having fun. Whomever had hosted the event had it arranged for the kids…
