Rejoicing in God (even when we can’t always see Him)

Hi everybody! I know I’ve been MIA for over a week since my last post. Chalk that one up to recovering from a NASTY case of the flu. The sneezing, coughing, fever, and everything else definitely sucks. But the worst part, at least to me, is having absolutely no energy to do anything. Other thanContinue reading “Rejoicing in God (even when we can’t always see Him)”

Recognizing God

I am often restless. Often never fully happy with where I currently am in my life. I have plenty more happy, and good days than bad ones, but it often feels like a little something is missing. I think this is because I often feel pressure by society to be at a certain place atContinue reading “Recognizing God”

What am I searching for?

Have you ever had your beliefs seriously challenged or changed? If you haven’t, you’re not growing or living. And if you haven’t allowed yourself to be seriously challenged at least once in your life, you’re missing out. There is a certain skill to allowing yourself to seriously hear different viewpoints, while still keeping your faithContinue reading “What am I searching for?”

Thoughts on Scripture

“The mouth speaks what the heart is full of.” -Gospel of Luke, Chapter 6, Verse 45. I’ve been meditating on and thinking about that simple line.

How do you spend time with Jesus?

Living by oneself definitely takes some getting used to. So I’ve been trying to keep myself busy by job hunting and looking for those kind of connections, or enjoying hobbies such as this or videogaming. But this morning, something happened that made me feel peaceful, or see “unexpected quiet time” in a different way. ForContinue reading “How do you spend time with Jesus?”

The importance of family and friends (Part 2)

Hey everybody! I’m back! Hope everyone’s having a good Martin Luther King Day! 🙂 But I thought I’d pick up where I left off, and introduce you to some of my good friends. They’re the circle of people I roll with, haha. It really is interesting how life gives and takes certain people from ourContinue reading “The importance of family and friends (Part 2)”

The importance of family and friends (Part 1)

I have always been a people person. Some have called me a “social butterfly.” I just love being around others. I am at my absolute best when I am in the company of those I care about. Which is why it is definitely taking some adjusting getting used to truly living on my own forContinue reading “The importance of family and friends (Part 1)”

Gnostic Gospels

This has definitely been a change of pace for me over the last few days, but I have been interested in reading something called the Gnostic Gospels. That is, the lost and rejected gospels attributed to Peter, Thomas, Mary Magdalene, and even Judas Iscariot. Most people are interested in a standard Bible study of theContinue reading “Gnostic Gospels”
