Are you sure you’re ready to pray for patience?
Filed Under Faith, Life | Leave a Comment
Patience…that is definately something I have struggled with. I am one who has to see results right then and there. I can’t just sit still and wait for something to happen. If it doesn’t happen on it’s own, I go out and try to make it happen myself and, God knows, how I have failed in doing so. Read more

Making Choices Through Knowledge & Prayer
Filed Under Faith, Life | 3 Comments
The following are a couple of terms, I feel, are very important for everyone to know and understand the meanings to. Keep in mind that I have read scriptures that others use to refer to these practices. This being said, I also believe that God has given us all a free will, therefore we all have a right to choose what to with certain situations in our lives. I, myself, am against the procedure in this topic but, again, that is my choice (free will). Read more

I’m not crazy, I’m depressed…
Filed Under Family, Life | Leave a Comment
Depression (everyday general usage) commonly refers to a downturn in mood which may be relatively transitory and perhaps due to something trivial. The common usage of this term differs significantly from the medical term clinical depression, which is a mental disorder marked by symptoms that last two weeks or more and are so severe that they interfere with daily living.

What causes you to sin?
Filed Under Faith, Life, Love | Leave a Comment
Mark 9:43-48
If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where ” ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’ Read more

Prayer, It Works
Filed Under Faith | Leave a Comment
Before I became a Believer, people would tell me to pray, or that they prayed, or are going to pray and I would say, “Okay”. But to tell the truth, I never did pray and didn’t understand what they meant by saying they did it or where going to do it. I never really gave it much thought, I guess. To me, it was just something people did, like when someone says, “Bless you”, after a sneeze. I don’t think the majority of people who say it knows why they say it exactly, they just do (say bless you after a sneeze). Read more
