I’m anticipating what doors God will open for me in this next stage of my life. What exactly do I need to do in order to make sure I don’t delay His plans? I know I keep hearing over and over to just stay in the flow of His Word, but that’s easier said than … Continue reading The next chapter
Psalm 46
When this quarantine first became a thing here in this New York/New Jersey region, my initial reaction was one of relief. I was so glad to have my spring break extended. I was so tired in so many ways of what had become my daily routine (especially the commute...man). Then as things escalated, my anxiety … Continue reading Psalm 46
Galatians 2:20
Considering a very pressing situation where someone I don't know well asked me for money, I get the feeling God used this to help me examine myself and my spiritual state, as well as my struggle with trust. I eventually gave in because I could tell he was desperate and he said that he needed … Continue reading Galatians 2:20
Unprecedented
Late Friday night/Saturday morning (like 4am?)... This is a time like no other. I mean, seriously. People are going crazy. I honestly have to just ignore so many things I hear because I want to preserve my sanity. But am I just pushing down my worries and fears? Am I compacting them like I always … Continue reading Unprecedented
Emotions
Have you ever felt like your heart was so filled with emotion that it might burst at the seams? As I receive more healing through God's Word, through community who truly and deeply show me how loved I really am, it seems I'm becoming more emotional. But the way I'm feeling right now is a … Continue reading Emotions
Uncertainty
In this desperate time where so many are overwhelmed and reacting out of emotion, I really pray that not only I but so many can hear God's still, small voice. He's allowed this to happen for a reason; I can't fully understand His plan, but I believe that He's turned this into an opportunity for … Continue reading Uncertainty
Earnest Prayer
Please don't let me be deceived by anything, Lord. And not just me, but anyone in my life. Please give us all spiritual strength so we can stand on our own and worship independently. May we no longer be a dependent generation, a dependent people. Help us turn everything into prayer and hold onto the … Continue reading Earnest Prayer
Deeper Trust
So an update on my condition: This past Sunday I felt that dizziness/weakness again, which caused me no choice but to get to church late, since it was VERY hard to get out of bed (just sleep deprived) and physically walk around the house without feeling lightheaded or out of breath. I listened to the … Continue reading Deeper Trust
New Frames & Letting Go
Life has felt so crazy and unreal lately. This week, I attended a conference (called Higher Calling) through my school's Christian club. The day before, I worked all day and felt myself getting sick. But I had to go, and to be honest, I kinda used it as a way to get out of work … Continue reading New Frames & Letting Go
It is finished.
Jesus finished EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM that we could ever face in this earth—during that defining moment on the cross that would change our lives forever. All our sins that we could not wash away by our own efforts have been forgotten through His ultimate sacrifice. Who am I to be worthy of such a gift … Continue reading It is finished.
