We are always BECOMING. The choice of WHO we are becoming depends on US. We often think we are where we are and who we are because of OTHER PEOPLE'S behavior or because of our CIRCUMSTANCES, but neither of those are true. Emotional Adulthood means WE must accept FULL RESPONSIBILITY for OUR emotional lives and [...]

The Downward Love of a Parent
The Downward Love of a Parent I recently heard Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. say “The upward love of a child toward their parents will never equal the downward love of a parent toward their child.” They just can’t truly understand your love until they love their own children. As parents we must always go first. [...]
Was it Really “Church Hurt”?
The term "church hurt" is all too common today to describe how people have been wronged. ***Disclaimer- if you were abused by people who were an authority you were once submitted to, I do not discredit your pain one bit. People in authority in ANY organization must be held accountable for their actions. And sadly, [...]
The question people ask that always causes my heart pain…
Many think to “take your thoughts captive” means to NOT think about it. But to take your thoughts captive means to captivate your eyes to it and to spend time comparing it with the Word and then toss it out if it doesn’t line up! Captive means "to hold or to secure" for a moment. [...]
Did You Know You Can Take Holy Communion At Home?
The power of Holy Communion is not in where we receive it, but in remembering what Jesus' sacrifice made available to us. Jesus used what He had in front of Him to institute the Holy Communion, bread and wine, but you can use what you have available today, possibly juice and a cracker, or something [...]

Jesus Had Come to Defeat an Enemy, Just Not the One They Had in Mind
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling prophecy, and showing His agreement to Kingship. The crowds shouted "Hosanna!" in response, which is translated to mean "Praise God!" "Save us!" or "Deliver us!" While the Israelites assumed Jesus would be an insurrectionist who would overthrow the power of Roman rule, they did not understand the [...]
Are You Prepared For Battle?
How prepared are YOU for battle? Let's be honest, there WILL BE battles. This is not a negative mindset. Jesus said there WILL BE tests, trials, and tribulations IN THIS LIFE. But also, that HE has OVERCOME THEM ALL. What do we see in the Word that Jesus did in practical terms? We read over [...]
What I Learned When I Stopped and Asked Myself, “I Wonder Why?”
What I Learned When I Stopped and Asked Myself, "I Wonder Why?" I am going to share a little secret with you. Are you ready? Lean in for it! When I learned to start asking myself, "I wonder why..." instead of JUDGING MYSELF or OTHERS, EVERYTHING changed for me! When someone said something hurtful, I [...]
If Not NOW, Then WHEN?
I'm thinking about YOU, right now! Yes, YOU! Because YOU are ME a few years ago! BEFORE I made the decision to INVEST IN MYSELF. To GROW more than I EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE! To GET THE SUPPORT I DESPERATELY NEEDED! Because I felt SO STUCK in PAIN in some of my relationships. Because I wasn't [...]
