Walking In The Spirit
Are You a Friend of Jesus?
“For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves for…
Give Love to Get Love
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18 A couple of nights ago, Holy Spirit showed me a painful event from my past that I had no recollection of in my dreams. He then explained what it meant when I went to Him in prayer. It truly explained…
The Struggle Is REAL
Holy Spirit has been trying to get me to implement a morning routine for the last few days and today is the first day that I am actually going to complete it. So far, I feel great. I’m happier, more full of joy, and feel like I accomplished so much more today than I did…
Where Is My Mind?
I used to love writing. What happened? When did it start feeling like a chore and less like a hobby? When did my passion for writing die or dwindle? I think I can pinpoint it started after getting hooked on kratom and failing as a writer a few years ago. Ever since, most days,…
Fitness and Faith

Salvation
“Even though you were once distant from Him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, He reconnected you back to Himself. He released His supernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of His own body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in His presence. And now there…
Processing Pain
My entire adult like, I have struggled with addiction. Even after I met God, I got off methamphetamines and heroin and got onto kratom. My childhood was the “perfect” model of what not to do when things got hard: numb out and don’t acknowledge your feelings and under no circumstances think it’s safe to share…
Surrender to Love
What does surrender look like? I have been asking myself that question lately. Does it look like perfection and when you mess up you have to start all over again? Does it look like something sustainable that some only pick up on while others struggle with for the rest of their lives? What does it…
Providence
God has been blowing my mind lately. I have always struggled with the idea of salvation and what the cross actually means. I have struggled to maintain my joy, basing it on my circumstances rather than the revelation of the cross and what Jesus did for me, for all of us. Once I grasped this…
