Category Archives My personal Walk With God

I'm not going to pretend that I'm okay. In fact, this week has been one of my toughest in years. I have dealt with every sort of temptation and trial imaginable. I think everyone can comprehend what I am talking about, you will have those days or weeks were nothing is going your way, where it seems the entire world is against you. Do you think that Satan actually wants you to be happy..? Of course not, his goal is to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). So why does temptation happen in life, why does God allow trials. Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12)  We read in James that we will encounter trials, and those that withstand the temptation will reap…

I have been meaning to address this issue for weeks now. I have noticed that many people in this world are so oblivious to even the fundamentals of the bible (the basics). Many of my friends around me have grown up in a Christian home. Their parents have tried their best to make sure that they know who Jesus is and that they attend church regularly. However, among all these people I have noticed how very little they know about the depths of scripture. Granted, if you were to ask them a political question, or a question about the latest gossip they would be talking for days. But Jesus is far from their hearts and they have little to no interest in following him. In the last year or so God has been working inside and out in my life. He has been working overtime to help me shape up…

I have always struggled with being impatient.....If I have to wait to get anything, I can get very anxious. I think many people struggle with this issue all the time... Seems like the older I get the more patient I become, however, from time to time- I am tested by the trials of life. I think the hardest thing in life is sitting and waiting for God to answer a prayer. Although I have faith and truly know God will answer all my prayers, I don't exactly know when, or how. So the challenge is to be patient and just wait. Just yesterday I had a very good friend of mine go to church with me, after inviting him several times, he finally decided that he would join. So as we sat there and listened to Gods word, his heart was moved. Jesus had started to tug at his heart.…

We all know that in this world how difficult people can be, but what if i told you its not the people that are difficult, its how you perceive the people that makes them seem difficult. What if I told you its not people around you that are hard to deal with, but you are the one that is hard to deal with... Many people think that they are living in a world where everyone is out to get them, where everyone is purposely trying to piss them off. However, this may not be true. This is a very interesting fact, but next time you are very angry and start to think very irrationally try and rationalize with yourself. Try to calm yourself down and you will learn very quickly how difficult it is to do that. We as humans naturally struggle with our emotions, with our thoughts, with our…

Have you dealt with disappointment in the last few months? If you haven't then you aren't reaching high enough. The truth is we will all deal with disappointment, rejection, fear, anxiety, or pain in our lifespan- its inevitable. You must remember though, if it happened then God allowed it, therefore it has a purpose. You may not know the reason now, but you will eventually. God is incapable of making mistakes. We as humans have a huge desire to be accepted. From an early age we are conditioned to look for acceptance. As early as grade school we try to impress everyone we can, although we are told to be ourselves, we ignore that as we try and impress that one girl, that one boy, or that one teacher. We spend our lives trying to impress our parents, we as kids love to hear our parents so- good job son,…

I think as Christians we have all gone through this at one point, and for those that aren't Christian just yet...just wait, you will eventually . I have to admit something- for the last few weeks I have been mentally in autopilot. I have been doing the bare minimum in life....it seems like a routine that we need to do over and over again. I have done the bare minimum at work, in my personal life and in my spiritual life. The last few weeks, I go to church on Sunday, I pray practically everyday. And I read the Bible when I have time....Well this sort of routine will eventually leave you spiritually empty. This mainly happens in life when we are either disappointed in a certain outcome (didn't get a job that you wanted, didn't go on that vacation that you needed, didn't date that girl you liked, etc...)…

This topic is one that I've been meaning to talk about for weeks now. Its a topic that everyone should hear, and definitely something we all need to work on. We as humans were created by an all mighty God that has emotions. This is precisely why we all experience emotions too. However, most of our emotions are based on our moods. If we are hungry we get cranky, if sleepy we get irritable, if we get sick we feel frustrated...and want to be taken care of. However, God ins't controlled by a flesh that produces irrational responses. I'm sure most of us have felt this at one point or another..... I grew up in a family of 4 kids, we grew up in a middle class family...where we didn't necessarily need to pass down sneakers, but my parents were definitely savers.  I remember my little sister being so spoiled- being…
