Words of Encouragement

Have you ever felt alone? Like there was no one there for you? No one to hear you, to lift you up to say it's going to be okay! No one! Have you ever felt like you're sinking and that there's no one to pull you out, to rescue you. In Hebrew 13:5b the Lord said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."  If you think you are alone, I am here to say that you are NOT! If you have a relationship with Christ Jesus our Lord you are NOT alone. The Lord, He will never leave you. He is with you through the storm.  In the book of Matthew the disciples climbed into a boat to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. When evening came a storm came up and as the disciples looked out onto the storm, they were terrified when they saw Jesus walking on the water. They thought He was a ghost . Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid."  Peter answered Him, " Lord if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." Jesus answered, "Come....

Sunday Drive:  by Rachel  found on Flickr http://bit.ly/1rJfclJ “[The first call every Christian experiences is] the call to abandon the attachments of this world.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer  Okay, here are three questions to ask yourself. 1. What drives you? 2. What motivates you? 3. What's the reason you do what you do?  Are your answers, money, friends, family, a car, etc? Is it to have a bigger house, get a better job, be known by those who you think are important?!  Philippians 1:12-26 "12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. 14 And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel wit...

Every new year people make resolutions.Resolutions to lose weight/get fit, to learn something new, travel, volunteer, finish projects that have been put off, spend less time on social media.  The list goes on and on and on and well you get the picture! :) I've made resolutions through out the years.  One year I went Gluten free. A couple years I decided to read the Bible in a year. One year I decided to go dairy free but I never made it through two months without breaking it by having a piece of cheese! :p This year I decided to make a New Years resolution.  What did I decide to do?!  Well first I want to tell you about this book I have been reading.  Its called "Get Lost: You guide to finding true love" by Dannah Gresh. "With a guided ten-day Love Feast Challenge, Get Lost will help you see for yourself how getting lost in God opens the door to lifelong fulfillment." The book was really good I would encourage every young woman to read it.  Anyways, ...

Okay so I was hanging out with a friend last weekend and she had two push-pins in her room.  I picked them up and I thought of this cool comparison that I wanted to share.  Just for a moment think of people as push-pins, they come in all shapes, sizes and different colors.  Push-pins are used to fasten items to a wall or board for display.  One pin alone can hold something small onto that wall/ board pretty well. It can try to hold something big, but it probably wouldn't do a good job at it without us helping it stay in place. Two pins together, however, can hold up something big onto the wall/ board and do a very good job at it.  Just like the pushpin by itself  we can usually accomplish something on a small scale along with the hand of Christ holding us and placing us where we need to be. Just like two push-pins together can hold something bigger onto the wall/ board, we can accomplish things on a bigger scale with the help of others and of Lord Jesus ...
