I don’t know it all.
I don’t know how everyone feels, and sometimes it is hard to put myself in other people’s shoes.
I will admit that I am a sinner, and I fall short all the time.
But I want to understand, out of a place of love and care for my neighbor.
I don’t want to feel like I have to choose a side, when I am FOR the goodness of all people.
This is frustrating… and in the same way I want to have grace towards you, I ask that you too, would have grace towards me.
I want to learn, love, and extend hope to people.
God, empty me of myself. Fill me up with more of You. Help me to see Your people through Your eyes.

It may look like your situation is never going to change, but in a split second God can completely resolve it

You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks

Remember, no matter what you're going through, if God woke you up this morning He's not finished with you. There's purpose for your pain

Even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right.


God is working out things you haven't even prayed for yet.  He's the God who works ahead of time.

It's not always in your successes but sometimes in your struggle that God will show you who you really are.

Never be controlled by your past, money and people.

Kindness.  What a simple way to tell another struggling soul there is love to be found in this world.


Learning not to envy someone else's blessing is what grace looks like.


You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.


Your relationship with God is not an overnight project.  It's a lifelong process. 


"Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

2 Timothy 2:23-26
Even Paul knew there was going to be “Church drama”


Learning to ignore negativity is one of the greatest paths to inner peace.


Vent to Jesus.  He understands you more than anyone.
