I recently came across this funny story that a lady had written entitled, In My Next Life. “In this life I’m a woman. In my next life, I’d like to come back as a bear. When you’re a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. […]
The saying “you reap what you sow” has been a staple in many cultures for centuries. It speaks to the idea that the results of our actions, whether positive or negative, will come back to us in some form or another. Of course, this notion is taken straight from God’s Word. Galatians 6:7-9 (NIV) 7 Do […]
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. Without faith, we cannot live in the fullness of His plans. You are not limited not by your bank account, friendships, or even your […]

Psalm 121:1-2 (NIV) 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. We are to lift our eyes up and focus on the Lord. The question we have to ask ourselves is, “Am I looking to God first when […]
Every day you bring a version of yourself to work. It’s your choice who that person will be. It will either be the best version of yourself, the worst version of yourself, or the caught-in-the-middle version of yourself. Chances are that different situations cause a different version of yourself to appear. But to be truly […]
Romans 10:17 (NKJV) So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. When I was in high school, we had a massive snowstorm two weeks before Christmas break, which resulted in a total of four weeks off school! As a teenager, this seemed like a dream come true, but I quickly […]
