Knowing Jesus

Colossians 2:1-3: "For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you...and for all who have not seen me face to face, their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, … Continue reading Knowing Jesus →

Christmas in July

Merry Christmas! Yes, even though it’s July, you read that right! If you are flipping channels and come across the Hallmark Channel this month, you will be met with one of their infamous Christmas movie marathons. Or maybe you see some Christmas decorations in your local store or sing a carol at your church. But … Continue reading Christmas in July →

Nothing

In the Bible, Jesus makes some strong, worthy of eyebrow-raising statements. These truths cut to our hearts, convict us, and show us how we should be living and submitting to Him. One such statement that bears a lot of weight and doesn’t seem to get the attention it deserves comes in John 15:5. Here, Jesus … Continue reading Nothing →

The Architect

Almost 2 months ago, singer Kacey Musgraves released a new album called Deeper Well. In one of the songs on this album called “The Architect,” Kacey offers some honest questions as she wonders aloud if there is a creator. She acknowledges the complexity of something even as small as an apple and asks, “Can I … Continue reading The Architect →

The Light Has Come

I love Christmastime, and one of my favorite parts of this season is seeing Christmas lights. While driving home last night, I saw a wide variety of Christmas lights. There was everything from multicolored to solid, the Grinch to Santa Claus, an inflatable Mickey Mouse to a decorative deer. This prompted me to think of … Continue reading The Light Has Come →

Not Safe, but Good

In The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, one of the characters, Mr. Beaver - which, if you’ve never read or seen this, is an actual beaver - tells the Pevensie children about Aslan, a character in the story who is symbolic of Jesus. In one of the book’s more famous … Continue reading Not Safe, but Good →

Greater Than the Greatest Love

Jesus says in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” We might read this verse and receive comfort, knowing that Jesus laid down His life for us. After all, Jesus says two verses later, “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant … Continue reading Greater Than the Greatest Love →

“I’ll Wake You When It’s Time”

I love listening to music, and ever since getting Apple Music a couple of years ago, the way I enjoy music has changed. Usually, I will find a new album or song and listen to it constantly for about a week until I wear it out and become familiar with it. About 2 months ago, … Continue reading “I’ll Wake You When It’s Time” →

What It Will Be Like

I thought that, instead of sharing a devotion, today I would share a poem I wrote about two years ago. This poem is about Heaven, about eternity, and about how we can know that we are going there. I hope it can be a blessing and that it points you to Christ! If you don't … Continue reading What It Will Be Like →

Car Wash

Something I enjoy doing (but don’t do as often as I should due to its time-consuming nature) is washing my car. Knowing how dirty, grimy, bug-encrusted the exterior body was before, it’s always nice to look back and see it looking sparkly and shiny. Clean once again, if only for a little while. I tell … Continue reading Car Wash →
