Read MoreWhile living in the present, we often look to the future with anticipation, expectation, and excitement. We know that God has GOOD things planned for those who love Him. Harvest is coming. Right? Right.
But what we too often forget is this: The future will be a result of our present.
Read MoreThis is a really tough topic. We think we can see the choices in front of us, but if you really start to analyze a day in your life and take a moment to think about all that you do, you’ll see that you make choices all of the time without thinking.

Read MoreWhat does it mean to truly see clearly? When I was in my first year of college, I was very depressed (although I didn't realize it until later), and my own personal therapy was song writing. One lyric still stands out to me. It was part of a song that was a deep, heart-wrenching cry to God.

Read MoreI want to talk about something because I think we need to. And usually, as believers, we don’t. We think we need to have it all together, hiding behind a mask that says everything is fine on the outside, all the while reeling from a dark aching pain in our hearts.

It always brings me peace and comfort.
