Service of the Cross
Mark 8:33-35 Jesus turned and looked at His disciples and then said to Peter very sternly "Satan get behind me!" You are looking at this only from a human point of view and not from God's." Then He called His disciples and the crowd to come over and listen. "If any of you wants to... Continue Reading →
{#Testimony Tuesday}: Rebuilding vs Restoration
As I turned on the television this morning, I was watching a recorded version of Kerry Shook from Sunday. I only got the first ten minutes before I had to leave for work.

God at the Gun Range
Last week I went and shot guns for the first time in my life. My boss opened up the opportunity for me to come shoot on her property. For the past year I have talked about doing it, but I hadn't made the time. So, when I got the text, of course my answer was "Yes!" I... Continue Reading →
Journey of Trust
For the past three weeks I have been going back and forth with God regarding the issue of disobedience. There is a particular area in my life where I want to see change, but my valiant efforts have failed. I seem to go around this mountain over and over again. I am tired of going... Continue Reading →
Bargaining {#Journey}
I have been reading a Book The Secrets of the Vine by Bruce Wilkinson as part of the journey. There were parts of the book that so speak to where I am now. It is centered around John 15. It provided on some fresh perspective, and then it got a little personal. I was taken... Continue Reading →
