Waves of Loneliness
Loneliness is something that I have struggled to face all my life. It is something that I faced as a child, all throughout middle school, all throughout high school, and all throughout college.

Wood and Nail
What do you see when you look at the cross? Do you just see a symbol? Do you picture Jesus? Are you reminded of that the cross is all about? Maybe a mix of all three depending on the day? It’s painful to say, but sometimes I pass by and see the cross and feel... [...]
Do You Rely On You, Or God?
I am the worst when it comes to personal life difficulties. I can help everyone through their problems and when they need guidance, but I have to hide away for days when I'm faced with massive choices and challenges.

White As Snow
"Why will you still be struck down? Why will you continue to rebel? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint." -Isaiah 1:5 "When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood. Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your [...]
To Help Those In Need, Or Not?
We can all help those in need, but we don't always do. We let our pride get in the way of that. I have heard countless times people say, "Well they got themselves there and they are not doing anything about it so it's not my job. They are the ones that need to fix [...]
