The Will of God
This is so real. Taken from “The Autopsy of a Dead Church”, a sermon preached by Elder David Hollis in 2007. His point right before was about John being on the island of Patmos because of the will of God and how that (John being in jail after obeying God) seems incredibly unfair to us.
“For many of us the will of God is only described if we have a lot of money, got a brand new...

If HE says you're ready...
If God says you’re ready for something, believe it! Are you really going to tell God He is wrong? That He’s mixed up on His timing? If He says you are ready, at His word (not yours!), go! God once told me, “Don’t let your humility become doubt.” We should be humble and completely cognizant of our absolute need for God but that does not mean we should disregard...

“I will be what You called me to be. I say YES, Lord I agree. My desire,...”
– Randomly this line from this song (“Called To Be” by Jonathan Nelson) popped into my head. My prayer is that His desire be my desire, that I throw myself into His desires for me. I can feel Him working that into me, slowly but surely, and I’m tremendously grateful.

The God of Completion
As of late, when I hear or sing the song “Alpha and Omega” by Israel and New Breed, I begin to think about how our God is a God of completion. God isn’t in the habit of starting something and not finishing it. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last (Revelations 22:13), the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), He who was, He who is,...

Trust & Obey: For Those Things Unseen
This week in my “offline” spiritual journal, I thanked God “for preparing me for things yet unseen.” As much as God has spoken and shown, there are things in us and and ahead of us that we do not see yet. We don’t know everything. In the last year God has given me very clear instructions (i.e. do this, do not do that, etc.) but has not given me the full picture....

Pep Rallies or Preparation?
Yesterday I was at a service in Chicago and a member of the host church was asked to get up and give comments. What he said really resonated with me, as God and I have been talking about this, and I liked his analogy so I thought I’d share. He talked about (and this is from memory and thus my interpretation of it lol) a high school football team that had a lot of really great pep rallies....

The First Post: So What Is This All About?
I would like to welcome you to my online spiritual journal! THANK YOU for stopping by! I hope that something you read, hear, or see here will bless you today and moving forward. I wanted to answer a few questions, since this is the first post, about this blog and its purpose.
This is not simply a blog with my thoughts and musings on a variety of topics. Though I may eventually have a blog...
