I live in Iowa, and I have lived here my entire life.  Because of this, I have definitely been used to the moments of extreme cold weather.  I am talking, of course, of days sub zero degrees with the windchill even lower.  This is so cold, a person shouldn’t have their exposed skin out forContinue reading “A Son Deficiency:”

A few weeks ago, I recapped new lessons I learned through the kings of Rehoboam and Jeroboam.  However, I am going to recap one more big life lesson I have learned from this story.  Rehoboam was a king easily influenced for the worse.  He was Solomon’s son, and he was chosen to be king overContinue reading “Make Sure to Surround Yourself with Advisors:”

I was recently doing a Bible Devotional study over 1 and 2 Kings by Lysa Terkeurst.  I have already learned a lot, and I appreciate diving into two books of the Bible I often try to avoid.  I never had much interest hearing all about these kings and them fighting other countries and making mistakes. Continue reading “Always Check Your Motivations:”

I have recently started a book called, “The Pursuit of God.”  The book overall is short, and the chapters individually are short, but they are filled with so much truth.  This chapter in particular I read today, was all about our real faith in God, not just faith in the mere idea of God, butContinue reading “God is More than a Principle:”

This year was a big year.  I would say it has been one of the biggest years of change for me personally.  It is maybe second to the year of 2014 which was the year I graduated from high school and started college.  This year, I finished my fourth year of teaching, and I startedContinue reading “Reflection Over 2023:”

I am reading a book called, “Revealing Revelations,” by Amir Tsarfati.  I was hesitant to read this book initially.  I didn’t know if I wanted to read a book centered around Revelations in the Bible.  However, I am really enjoying it.  I am really learning new perspectives about the book of the Bible that peopleContinue reading “Need the Daily Time with God:”

I love reading.  I love books.  I love stories.  I love being able to learn something new from the book I am reading, and I love getting to think about something in a new way.  I am a passionate reader though.  I am a reader that wants to, at one time or another, throw myContinue reading “Seeing Other’s Perspectives:”

One book I have read recently is called “Sisters of Mokama,” by Jyoti Thottam.  This is a book describing the women, specifically Catholic Sisters who moved to India in order to create a hospital and serve the people of India.  These women had to work hard.  These women served the people of India for anyContinue reading “Work Hard for the Individual:”

I recently finished the book called, “Goliath Must Fall,” by Louie Giglio.  It was a really good book that discussed the importance of getting rid of our personal giants and the problems many of us face including anxiety, fear, comfort, anger, addictions, etc.  This book was also written alongside the story of David and Goliath. Continue reading “It Isn’t Just About You:”

Dressember is coming up once again, and I am very excited for this fundraiser this year.  2023 certainly was a huge year for me personally, and while I am very blessed to reflect on this year in its entirety, it is not quite over yet.  I have a very big thing left and that is,Continue reading “Dressember 2023:”
