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…

I have always been a bad decision maker, this goes probably for most of us... How many of us are proud of everything we have ever done? How many of us recall a very specific bad decision we have made in our life? Oh man, If making bad decisions was a sport I would be a professional.....It seems that no matter how hard I try I still cannot overcome bad decisions in life. Let me recall one very bad decision in my life that still haunts me to this day. As a young adolescent, I grew up in Fresno California, for those that have no idea where that's at...? Good. Its a terrible place, somewhere between San Francisco and Mexico...where the Gangs are like street performers on the main strip in Vegas. When I was roughly 10 years old, I was walking to school with one of my best friends Ryan.…
