“I love my dog more than people.”  “I would rather spend time with my cat than other people.”  “I do not like people.”  “I want to get away from other people.”  These are common statements on social media or things you will hear other people say.  I am sure I have also felt and saidContinue reading “Loving Other People:”

My church is still continuing to give sermons on the Ten Commandments.  I have obviously really enjoyed this sermon series.  This past week was over Honoring thy father and mother.  This is the one command some find interesting.  It is a very specific command.  Something the pastor brought up was, “Why is this command soContinue reading “Honor thy Father and Mother:”

Recently in church we have been going over the Ten Commandments.  Today’s sermon was all over Honoring the Sabbath and keeping it Holy.  It is important to make sure we rest.  This isn’t just because of our physical or mental health.  It is not just because of following God’s example for taking time off, whileContinue reading “Honoring the Sabbath:”

This last week was a very wild week as many Americans and even those in separate countries know.  Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist, was shot at a college campus while he was speaking and debating with college students, ultimately leading to his death. There were thousands present at the time of the shooting, creating havocContinue reading “Speak the Truth in Confidence:”

I absolutely love the musical Hamilton.  I have gotten to see it twice this year.  One live for the first time with my friend and matron of honor, Izzie and then I recently got to see the live taping of the show at the movie theater with Cole.  He had never seen the musical beforeContinue reading “Jealousy can really Ruin You:”

I have talked about my triumphs and the times I have accomplished certain goals.  I have talked about my struggles and finding it very hard to run at a pace I had been able to run in the past, and IContinue reading “Seeing the Growth and Encouraging:”

Through my devotional Bible reading time, I have been learning about David and his journey to become king of Israel while comparing that to the journey of Christ becoming the ultimate king.  We see through David’s journey, he had some suffering and some pain to experience.  This includes his relationship with Israel’s first king Saul. Continue reading “He also Suffered:”

I have been reading the devotional book from The Voice of the Martyrs.  This has been a really good book to read stories and devotions from Christians who are giving their whole heart, soul, and body into spreading God’s love and goodness to everyone.  These are the Christians that are willing to risk it allContinue reading “Love Flowing from a Loving Heart:”

This past week my life took a major change.  I got to marry Cole, my best friend and the love of my life.  It was a day I had been waiting for, for a very long time.  There were months of planning going into this day.  I spent a lot of time picking the weddingContinue reading “I got Married!!:”
