An act of service is an act of service, no matter how small


"I don't really feel like it," Oftentimes that is our attitude towards the things we have to work for. We have become a society full of "I'll just do it tommorow." However, tomorrow never comes. 
God has given each of us a specific gift/personality to us for his glory. We are called to use these thing to reach others. However, it is not always easy. Sometimes you have to push through, trials, obstacles, or the fact that you just don't feel like it, in order to get the job done. In the last few weeks alone, I have come across, people who use their talents in speaking, singing, rapping, and simply cooking a meal. All of these gifts, no matter how small, can be used to share the gospel and God's love. Sometimes you may feel like you don't have the talent or qualifications to share with others in the ways mentioned earlier. For a long time I felt as though I couldn't be used, because I wasn't a preacher, and I didn't sing like my sister but I have come to realize that serving in the background can be just as helpful and effective. Every person's gift has value in God's eyes.

Hard work beats Talent when talent doesn't work hard

It's the will not the skill

Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Exodus 35:10
All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded.

James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the father of the Heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting Shadows.

Please listen to lyrics of this song and apply it to whatever your going through.

Easter Promise

Today is Easter. The day when we celebrate Jesus conquering death by rising again. If you're like me, you can go numb to the power in that statement. To help, I think of it this way: The Bible says that God is our father. Our Father in Heaven sent His Son, Jesus, to die. Jesus was beaten, mocked, spit on, ridiculed, and then given a crown of long sharp thorns that were beaten into his head. Prior to that, He was under such extreme stress since He knew that all of that was coming that hematidrosis set in. That is when blood vessels rupture in the sweat glands causing Jesus to sweat blood. He went through all of that emotional and physical pain because He loved us to the point of death. If you have heard anyone talk about how they would die for someone because of there love for them, Jesus already did that even though we don't always show Him love in return; Even though the ones He died to save included those who killed Him. That death included whips digging into His back, bei...

What is Love?

     The question that we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives is, “what is love?” Is it, doing things for others, is it seeming to enjoy being with someone more than just as friends. Is it a sacrifice? Is it 50-50 I do something for you, you do something for me. Is it blind? There are a lot of views and opinions on what love could be and what it isn’t. I think that it’s an important question to be answered especially if we are called to love others. I figure the best way to find the answer to that is to ask love itself. 1 John 4:8 says that “God is love.” Now we have added to the question of “what is love”, “who is God?” if we learn more about God we learn more about how to love. The Bible says that God is our Father in Heaven, so is a father's love for their child the perfect love? For some that would make love very difficult and no father-child relationship is the same or perfect so we can’t fully trust our world's imperfect example. I think the best answe...

Guide Of Life

Hey everybody! First off  I would like to apologize for the very late post. I have been in the process of moving and to be honest have been trying to figure out things for myself. My depression has escalated in a way that I am still trying to figure out how to handle. Throughout all of it I am trying to find where my personality went after my anxiety stole it. One thing about depression, at least for me, is that everytime I start to understand it, it changes. It's really draining to be hit with the same thing over and over and yet everytime not know how to cope with it. That is why I haven't posted. I am trying to learn to cope with the depression that is all rooted within my own mind. I get confused on why I cant seem to catch a break in this and so I didnt know how to write about what I learned when I dont even know what to learn yet. It's hard to see the bright side or the knowledge that is to be learned when you are hit head on with all of the trials that come with o...
