-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”

365 Days of Transformation

Hi Friends!      It's been a while...Happy New Year, everyone! To catch you all up on the last few months, my life lately has been a complex and utterly cram-packed time of work, work, work, and oh yeah, some more work, traveling, stressful decision making, volunteering, and most of all growing into the Lord's plan for my life, and stepping into His radical grace.      Let me delve a bit more into this with you...I won’t pretend this is going to be short, so grab a cup of tea and a snack and settle in!      You know how on New Year's, the whole world bombards social media with their absolute best moments of the past year, proudly displaying their award-like photos for all to view? This is the new normal in today's culture, to show off ourselves and give a thank you for all to see to those in our past year, putting forth our monotone dreams that will undeniably be left in the dust a week after the new year starts. It happen...

-C.O.M.M.U.N.I.T.Y-

Hello Friends!    It's been a while; life has been its usual whirlwind.    I've been thinking a lot about community lately, how necessary it is in our lives and the importance of reaching out to others instead of living in that self-sustaining mindset.  Growing up, the youth group I attended had a core value they based their church on. This statement was, "You can't do life alone." This is such a truthful sentence that is admittedly stuck in my head even to this day. The only problem is I never really experienced or understood what that meant until recently. Growing up, my family and I went through a lot of trials. As a result of this, we were, in a sense, "stripped" of some friendships and community. Some of this by default and some by choice. Being a pretty shy person, I am the first to admit I wasn't so keen on putting myself out there and trusting new people, especially as a teenager. Even as an adult now, I still struggle with thinking I, in fac...

-Eye Love to Observe-

Hi Friends,      I’ve missed talking with you!        I write this as I sit in Jury Duty, juror ID and all. I must say, as much as this tends to be such a dreaded commitment, I am enjoying getting to people watch. There are so many different types of people and each one reacts and interacts, in their own unique way. I remember a few years ago, my grandmother took a train down from the north all the way to my home here in the south and when she arrived, she spent a great time describing all the different people she saw. She enlightened me on how much you can learn from being silent and observing. My favorite of her observations was of this particular gentleman who wore a top hat and had a cane.                                           ...
