God's love is faithful! We can trust Him!

Sometimes it can feel like your life is overwhelming, like you are constantly making mistakes.  Sometimes you can feel like you’re not good enough.  Even when you can see God working in your life and changing you from who you were into He wants you to be, and making you more like Himself, it can seem like the devil tries to bring your past back into your face.  He tries to tell you that you haven’t changed and that God can’t use you.  Don’t listen to his lies!  God’s love for your is unchanging and is greater than the lies of the enemy!  He loves you with a love that is incomparable to anything the world has ever known!  Life can be discouraging but don’t give up! God has a purpose and a future for your life! Let’s encourage each other and run the race so that we may win the heavenly prize for which God has promised to us in Christ Jesus! Philippians 3:14-15

    We all have challenges in our lives but if we have faith and trust in God He will direct us. I like the statement you made "God has a purpose and a future for your life!"

Perfect peace

The wind. The rain. The clouds.  Sunsets.  Cool air. To some people those things might not bring a sense of peace and comfort but to me it’s amazing.  It’s so peaceful and beautiful.  I could stay outside all the time when it’s like that. Peaceful.  Calming.  But there’s a peace that’s even greater than that.  There is a peace that can only come from Christ.  There is a peace that passes all understanding. “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect  peace, Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 "And the peace of God, which surpasses all [ a ] comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:7 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."  John 14:27   "O Lord , You have searched me and known me . You know [ a ] when I sit down and [ b ] when I rise up...

It’s a new year

Man I’ve turned 35.  I’m another year older. I guess it’s only downhill from here I guess or uphill haha.  I’d like to say I’m another year wiser and that I’m more like Christ and I definitely think I’m more like Christ. I think God has given me more wisdom also.  I’m just not anywhere near where I want to be.  Today was just another day really.  I didn’t really do much to celebrate it.  I went to Starbucks with a sweet friend who gave me a present.  I was kind of disappointed that I didn’t really have a party or anything even though other friends had had parties.  I realized that I was just being selfish and self focused. Sometimes I feel like I’m invisible or that people don’t notice me as much but even that is being self focused.  I was wanting a party so I could be with people and celebrate but I was also just wanting attention. I was thinking about this one time one of my friends Kaycee had one of our friends Laura make me a cake for m...

My journey of Faith and how God has guided me

Image
                           “A man’s heart plans his way but the Lord directs His steps.”  Proverbs 16:9 I’ve been thinking about this verse a lot lately and how true it has been in my life.  When I went home for Christmas after I graduated with my MDiv in Missions in December my plan was to find a biblical counseling internship somewhere.  I had looked different places but nothing had worked out. I looked on the biblical counseling website which is the website for the Association of Certified Biblical Counseling.  I had looked at Washington and it didn’t work out and I looked in Oregon and one of the first names I saw was Mitch Lamotte.  On December 29 I emailed Mitch Lamotte from Southwest Hills Baptist Church about doing a biblical counseling internship at their church.  He told me about the biblical counseling pastor at the church, Kerry Francetice. ...
