Sometimes I don’t feel God’s presence in my everyday life even if I know he is there. I pray and I just don’t feel that connection. Many times the devil uses our feelings to yank us away from God. We as Christians should always remind ourselves that we should walk by faith not by sight….
Uprooting Negativity
Have you ever had someone say something out of place to you and for a while what they said is like on replay in your head? I have had that happen to me. It usually happens when I have to hold my tongue and stop myself from giving someone a good lash with it. And…
Finding meaning in meaningless living
Is life really meaningless like the preacher in ecclesiastics say? I have felt it was many times, but is it really? It says in Ecclesiastes that man works for his mouth and his mouth is never satisfied. We can eat barrels and tons of food but unless we’re dead hunger is gonna swing round that…
Ecclesiastes Chapter 1
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Ecclesiastes 1:2 In this post I will tell you what I understand from chapter one of Ecclesiastes. I am learning everyday more about God and what he wants for my life. I find reading one chapter a day and trying to understand…
What is your purpose?
Ecclesiastes is one of my favorite books in the bible because it addresses the issue of purpose. Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life was? I have, multiple times. The point of living and life also puzzled me. And why is continuing this cycle so Paramount? We all inherently have a desire to…
A beginner’s thought {VEGAN}
Day number one– I am easing into this vegan lifestyle. I still have some cheese, eggs among other things in the fridge and I won’t throw it out. Yes, I am trying to eat healthier but I think it’s absolutely criminal to throw food. There are people around the world hungry and dying from starvation,…
Why not try vegan?
GMO products, milk with too much pus, feeling sluggish too early in the day, and sensitive skin have caused to consider going vegan. I haven’t done a lot of research, however I have poked my head in the general area by watching many YouTube videos, doing some reading and I think it’s something I should…
Why do Bad things happen to good people?
Like every other Christian I have wondered, why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? I have concocted many answers and wrestled with the question; yanking and tossing it about. None of my conclusions seem to come close to a reasonable justification. It is a question inherent in all man, woman and…
“Paper is more patient than people”
I like writing; it’s sort of my therapy session. At first I use to write for myself, to release my thoughts, to understand myself and as a form of relaxation. The words of Ann Frank rings true to me, “paper is more patient than people”, and I believe this is why I have a passion…
Breaking Bad habits like French fries on the tips of greasy fingers
Bad habits sneak into our lives like a cute stray kitten. The first time it comes around it doesn’t seem so bad, it’s harmless and somewhat nice to have around. Then you do what someone who doesn’t want to own a cat should ever do; YOU FEED IT. Yikes. Every morning the door swings open…
Forgiveness Made Easy
Sometimes it’s hard to love and hard to forgive. When we are hurting and bleeding pain, often times our eyes are closed to the good that remains in the other person. Our hearts shut and boarded up, and even our minds refuse to render up the good deeds once done. Sometimes it’s hard to love…
Fear of failure? (Take a peek at the solution)
I have experienced failure in my life many times. I can’t recall all of them but I am sure I have failed at preparing a meal I spied on Pinterest, and I have failed at rousing from my comfy bed many times. I suspect I may fail at doing so some time again in the…
