It’s Time to Break the Chains

January 8, 2019

January is the time that people see “New year, new you!” slogans everywhere, and they’re usually advertising for new diet plans or workout memberships.

I actually hesitated to write a post like this because I don’t want it to come off as “cheesy” or just another “improve your life” gimmick. However, I can assure you, that I mean business. Probably more now than I ever have when it comes to this blog.

Last year, I read so many articles about the proverbial “chains” affecting teenagers. The skyrocketing of depression, anxiety, self harm, suicide, porn, drugs…you name it. And you know what?

I. am. sick. of. it.

I am so tired of watching teenagers, and people general, live defeated, unfulfilled, confused, and purposeless lives. This year I want to help whoever stumbles upon us to break the chains in their lives.

Two Truths to Remember When Christmas isn’t Merry

December 15, 2018

The Christmas season is portrayed as a glorious time of love, celebration, and cheer. That’s why when I heard the song “I Hate Christmas Parties” by Relient K for the first time when I was in college, it made me immediately stop and think.

A New Way to Think About Angels

December 11, 2018

Have you ever thought about angels? What do you picture when someone talks about angels? Take a second and contemplate the image that first comes to your mind.

Admittedly, I use to think of angels as chubby toddlers flying around with harps.

However, after reading the Bible more in depth and listening to a few sermons on angels, I came to realize I was waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy off. In today’s vlog, using the angelic visits in the Christmas story, I want to share with you what I’ve learned and hopefully show you angles in a more correct manner.

Two Verses to Remember when You Need Encouragement

November 13, 2018

Encouragement. It’s something I definitely need at this point in my life.

Lately, I have been plagued by the feeling that nothing I do matters because it doesn’t seem that anyone cares about what I do.

I know that this is a “straight up” lie because raising tiny humans matters. The work I do on this blog for the Lord matters. Being a good wife matters. Shining the light of Christ in a dark world matters. However, from time to time, I just get discouraged.

However, there are two verses that I keep referring back to to help me through this time, so I thought it would be appropriate to share with you.

The video below is approximately three minutes and I hope that you feel better after you watch it 🙂
