Read MoreTake your time. Let go of seeing potential as your cue to make him into what you want him to be. Meet him where he is and ask yourself: if he never changes from this point on, would I be okay with that?
Read MoreWe hide when we are ashamed, when we’re scared, or when we don’t feel like we are going to be accepted. We hide for fear of judgment; we hide from our past mistakes. We hide our true selves, believing we aren’t good enough, smart enough, lovable enough or worthy enough. It’s a cycle that can root itself deep in our soul, and if we aren’t careful, the cycle of hiding will even continue within the confines of the sacred union of marriage. Hiding limits true intimacy with those closest to us, so it’s a stronghold that needs to be addressed before entering marriage.
Read MoreBecause grace was seldom shown to me growing up, my view of God was distorted. I saw Him only as someone to be worshipped and feared. I was more scared of falling and failing than I was eager to know Him as the gracious, loving, and forgiving Father He is. Even into my adulthood, when I joined a different type of church community, I was still stuck in the fire and brimstone mindset. The remnants of legalism still laid deep within. I had to change how I saw God.

Read MoreHave you seen any of those symptoms in your own life? Do you find yourself wanting to move forward but won’t allow yourself to do so unless everything comes together first? Sometimes the coming together of a thing can only happen when your first step is to simply trust God to provide the resources and support you need along the way.
If you need encouragement in this area, read on…
Read MoreWe’ve finally made it to the halfway point of 2016. Some of you may have started out the New Year with promises of a “new year, new me,” but as we are now in the month of June, what is your life really reflecting? What goals have you met and what new ventures have you stepped into?
Read MoreNobody wants counterfeit money, but we often run after counterfeit relationships. Counterfeit relationships can either cripple your walk with Christ or serve as a blessing. The blessing is often found in the lesson learned, but as a follower of Christ, it is up to you to not only determine what the outcome of your engagement with counterfeits will be, but to also use discernment. Not everyone is meant for our good.
Read MoreThere are many questions, petitions, and prayers that each of us are still waiting on God to answer, but that does not mean that while we wait we cannot enjoy life and make the most of this season of singleness.
