2 Corinthians 4:7
“Now we have this treasure in clay jars, so that this extraordinary power may be from God and not from us.”
I have most likely read over this verse many times but tonight it caught my attention. Tonight it served as a pride check for me. Many times I think that I am entitled to certain things. Sometimes I even feel like I deserve grace because of certain things I...

“He does not want a girl who trifles with Christianity. He wants a woman who is radically given to Christ. He does not want a girl who prays tepid, lukewarm prayers. He wants a woman who lives in defiance of the powers of Hell. He does not want a girl who is self-adorning with the latest…”

“By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
-John 13:35

The Pharisees were in the presence of God! They were in the same room as Jesus himself and they witnessed Him perform a miracle!

The Voice of God
I want the Lord to draw near to me. I want to rest in His presence this year. I want to listen to the voice of God as well as discern what He is saying. It is so easy for me to get wrapped up in the things of this world and to focus on telling God things instead of listening to Him. I want to hear God, I mean really hear Him. I know that He has things to tell me and I know He wants to guide me but...

wedding vows: his pledge to her: “i will kill the spiders. i will share my fries with you when you’ve finished all yours and are still hungry. i won’t ever pop my collar. i will never be rude to your tummy- when i hear it growl and gurgle, i promise to bend down and reply respectfully. i will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza. i will kiss the papercuts. and the door-slammed...
