I dare say one of the hardest things to do in life is pull yourself away from people you love. However, unfortunately there are a few reasons this may be necessary. Especially in circumstances like the one outlined in the verse we will look at in a moment. Our relationship with God is the most …
The Eyes of Envy
The saying “Your eyes are green with envy!” is a very true statement. Sometimes no matter the biological color of our eyes they turn to a not so lovely shade of green. Why is it that, all of a sudden we look at the prosperity or fame of another and become uneasy about it? Envy …
The voices in my head
There are multiple voices in my head each day. “I want another piece of cake.” (My flesh/stomach talking) “Jesus wouldn’t be happy with that choice.” (My spiritual self) “I raised you better than that!” (Mom) “I’m such an idiot, nobody really cares for me.” (Satan) “Trust in me, and I will lead you in the …
What am I reading?!

Good Night My Friend!
As we come to the end of our day, things can begin to overwhelm us. Whether it’s that load of laundry that has been washed four times already and it has slipped your mind-AGAIN. The baby is teething and fussy and you feel that you haven’t had time to just slip away to the bathroom. …
