-Notes and such-

Hello Friends! 

Here are some really good pieces of advice and random notes from sermons that I typed up. I really felt impacted by some of these and hope they will do the same for you. Let me know what stuck
out to you or what your favorites are:)

 Notes:
  • - There is an empty grave for every fear
  • - Prayer is an exercise in humility
  • - How do I know God can help me? Because He rose Jesus Christ from the dead
  • - Prayer should be a first, not a last, resort
  • - We have one life to live, it will soon be past, Only what’s done for God will last
  • - Set a reminder on your phone to pray
  • - Pray through scripture
  • - If someone asks you to pray for them, pray for them right then, don’t wait and risk forgetting. If they asked for prayer, they must need it right then.
  • - Use prayer prompts, pray for the people you are reminded of randomly. Don’t question why, God made you think of them, pray.
  • - Christ has removed the prayer barrier, prayer reminds us that life is not about us.
  • - “Prayer gives us relief from the melancholy burden of self-absorption” -Tim Keller-
  • - Find a prayer partner
  • - Ask your waitress or waiter if you can pray for them (Example: Say we are just about to pray here, is there anything I can pray for you about?)
  • - Eph 6:10-20
  • - Hebrews 4:16
  • - "Your promise still stands
    Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
    I'm still in Your hands
    This is my confidence, You never failed
    Your promise still stands
    Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
    I'm still in Your hands
    This is my confidence; you never failed me yet    " (“Do it again” -Elevation Worship-)
  • - Am I looking at what people can give me or am I looking to what I can give others through Jesus?
  • - HE provides security through unconditional love (Romans 5:8)
  • - It all connects to God, everything you do, everything for the glory of God, it has purpose and meaning.
  • -“Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself, but it is thinking of yourself less”
  • - Let our lives be free and healthy enough that others see Jesus in us and want to know Him too
  • - I don’t have to know the next steps to be faithful in this one.
  • - As a Christian we are part of something bigger than our own problems
  • - We are REEDEEMED through Christ
  • - Keep the main thing, the main thing, and I am NOT the main thing.
  • - Why did David pick up 5 rocks, not just one, when he went to fight Goliath? Because sometimes, some giants in our lives need to be fought again and again. Don’t give up the fight for freedom.
  • - Breakthrough takes hard work
  • -Don’t compare yourself to others; compare yourself to God
  • -God can use your brokenness for His glory if you let him
  • - “Preach the gospel at all times, when necessary, use words”
  • - Never let your circumstances define your relationship with Christ
  • - Grumping around about your problems won’t help, smile, and make a difference
  • - Why worry when the creator of the universe holds your tomorrow and plans in His hands
  • - Giving is better than receiving
  • - Take responsibility for your actions
  • - What once was impossible is made possible in and by Him
  • - Before you give in to temptation, remember there is always another door out; lean into God (Hebrews 4:15)
  • - The choices I make now impact my future
  • - “Obey God no matter what, no matter how small the issue seems” -Mr. Frandsen-
  • - Where God guides, God provides
  • - “Don’t lose yourself in the temporary, no one has ever seen nor imagined what God has prepared”
  • -  Song: King of my heart
  • - Why put off until tomorrow what you can do today

  • - What a powerful name is the Name of Jesus
  • - “Sometimes being perfect is not the story we need to tell, but it is the other one we need to tell, to give others the courage” -Julianne Hough-

-An unusual lesson-

So there I sat, in an old yet cozy diner, vinyl and to-go cups and all, watching the snow gracefully cascade from the big puffy clouds coating the world in an angelic white layer. Being the pathetic Floridian that I am, I was thrilled at the sight before me. Music pumped through the building, songs of long ago and the oh so recent years. As they often do, one song, in particular, decided to stick in my head. However, it was only a line or two. It was just enough to float through my head nonstop, which I was sure would faithfully nag me for the rest of the afternoon. A few days later, when I arrived back in my hometown, the song popped back up and I began to wonder about those few persistent words… As it turns out, I had heard that exact part of the song numerous times that one day and did not even realize it until now. Confession time… the song was, Let Me Love You by Justin Bieber. I know, I know, I can hear the groaning now, and I promise I am right there with you! But listen up, th...

"Summer escapes, daydreams and tourist traps"

Good Morning Friends!       We've officially passed the first official day of summer and are now surrounded by ever-increasing temperatures and that great summer sun. Admittedly, summer has never been one of my favorite times of the year. Whether it was because of the ridiculous heat and ever-annoying humidity that came with this season, lack of schoolwork to do (I am that weirdo who missed having homework to do), or the long unstructured time span, whatever the reason, I just wasn't a huge fan of summer vacation. However, as I have gotten older, I've come to appreciate the simplicity of summertime.       Even when I may long for the structure of a normal school semester, I realize the blessing of a break from all of the stress that comes with professors and assignments. Even when the sun feels like it is trying to bake the whole world and my hair has decided it hates me and expands into a stupid lions mane because of the humidity, yay for tho...
