Stand Alone Faith

Genesis 6:9 “Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.”   Hebrews 11:7 “By faith, Noah being divinely warned of things not seen moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household…” It’s usually no fun to be the one doing something that others are not doing. You feel like an outsider, like everyone is staring at you, like people are whispering when you are not looking.  Sometimes we have to...

Trust God with the Details

I am a planner.  Many details of my wedding were planned out before I even got a proposal (I know, don’t judge me).  I am often consumed with the details of every part of my life. I constantly write my to-do lists, updating it constantly throughout the course of the day. I am ecstatic when life goes exactly as I’ve imagined it would and exactly as I’ve planned it out in my notebook. But reality always has a harsh way...

Faith Building Moments

I wanted to scream aloud, but did so silently. I cried much and had very little words. How could this be happening? Why was it happening? I had prayed fervently, stood on the word of God, and believed God for the best- so why didn’t it work in my favor? Life’s worst moments have their way of throwing tough questions our way. It jolts you out of your slumber and into a reality you were not prepared to face.  After experiencing...
