-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

~He who calls you is faithful~

Hi friends! It has been ages; I've missed you! Have you ever noticed it is almost immediately after you finish telling someone just how good you have been doing that it seems that suddenly everything starts going downhill again? That has been me this week. I was gifted with some rare moments of time with close mentors this past week, a time to be honest with where we are in life and uplift each other up for God’s glory. The devil hates progress for the Lord; we know this. God tells us we will have such struggles in this life because of the great name we hold. So, I take this new season of tribulation and discrimination for my faith as a reward from Him  It shows His goodness, His protection, and His hold on my life in action. I will be thankful for that. I have been sensing myself rapidly slipping back into my old coping methods of handling stress recently. I haven’t experienced this in a long time before now; praise God for that. Throughout this summer, God has been faithful...

~Return to Me~

  " Return to me, and I will return to you," says the Lord Almighty." - Malachi 3:7-   No matter how far we run, flee, hide, deny, or try to ignore God, all He asks is for us to come back to Him when we are ready. He promises to return to us when we return to Him. The amazing thing about God is that He meets us right where we are. He meets us when we reach out and come back to Him. In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 15 tells the story of the Prodigal Son's return. This story illustrates the actions of a son who was selfish and left his father in search of better. The son comes across hard times and realizes what a fool he has been. The son decides to repent, return to his father's house, and beg for a place again. The beauty of the story is when the son returns, ashamed and humbled, expecting to be disowned or scolded, the father excitedly welcomes him home and celebrates him. He meets him where he is and returns to the lost son. The book of Luke states, "... Wh...

-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...
