What's something that you pride yourself on; your focus, intelligence, tenacity, strength? Maybe you are really good at encouraging others or you can spot someone in need from a mile away. Then there's that little character trait called honesty. If you were, well, honest- then you would probably say that while you may slip up and lie to others on occasion, you really do try to live an honest life. However, how honest are you with yourself? I stepped on my own toes the other day. (I know, it …
But Why Can’t I Do It All?
Do you ever feel inadequate; like no matter how hard you try and how many times you pick yourself back up, you just keep tripping on your own feet and dropping all the balls you've been juggling? Do you ever feel like you have to wear so many different hats that YOU are lost in the shuffle? Do you ever look at your life and say; "I JUST WANT TO DO IT ALL!" I hate these feelings- I absolutely abhor feeling like I'm not good enough at something- ANYTHING! I think a lot of the reason that these …
Are My Goals Godly Goals?
Football season has come once more with all its tailgating, hoodies and all of its fun.

I chose this particular question because 1. it's the first question I've received that had to do with me personally (not just my opinions on Theology or particular situations), and 2. because I think self-discipline is something we all need to get better at- including myself! First of all, here's the graphic for …
Are You A Slave?
Christians love to go around talking about freedom in Christ; it's our favorite privilege! However, for some reason we don't always want to stay free- our actions reveal that about us. We give our lives over to Christ, we try our best to live in the way that would most honor Him, and then we find (or keep) a "favorite" problem. Don't know what I'm talking about? What is your go-to addiction or that one thing that always trips you up? What is your natural "response" when things go wrong? Here …
How to Find Amazing Friends Who Help You Soar to New Heights
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17 The NLT says, "so a friend sharpens a friend" We all have friends who sharpen us in one way or another. But, have you ever stopped to ponder exactly what it is that you're being sharpened for? Are you being sharpened to use as a weapon that brings destruction and death? Or are you being sharpened as a life-giving soul ready to bring goodness, grace, and truth? On the surface, it's not always easy to tell. Most of us …
