I was reading Matthew last night after coming in from prayer group and came to this passage: Matthew 4:18-22: “As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were…

Continue reading →: Confirmation – yup, God’s terrific timing rearing its wonderful head yet again
In God’s absolutely incredibly perfect timing, I just created a Twitter account. I saw a tweet from The Gospel Coalition @TGC: Your job is God’s assignment (by @JohnPiper): ow.ly/JXUjn I felt badly and just apologized to God for not trusting in Him. I haven’t (yet) read John Piper’s article. The…

The sermon on January 11, 2015 hit my heart hard and I felt it through to the core of my being. Pastor John told the congregation that “Christianity is an open eyed death to self-interest” and to “deny yourself so others can be served.“ He talked about “habitual humility” and…

On Thursday, February 19, 2015 I finished reading the Gospel of John for the first time ever. What an incredible experience. OMGosh … if I had of known just how vibrantly rich the text was, I would have read it a lot sooner (if I had of read it sooner,…

Even bubble tea – the unexpected bubbles of tapioca as they move through the large straw and into my mouth, each one a refreshing, candy-like experience. Many changes have happened in my life since I became a Christian – I don’t remember a lot of them and didn’t expect many…

I’m a single Christian – there are a lot of blessings that go along with being single – I have a good amount of time on my hands to read the Bible, listen to sermons online, watch Christian DVD’s and also dive into other Christian books. I’ve been single for…

Continue reading →: Christian of Convenience “COC”
I have started evangelizing and had my first conversation in the workplace at the end of the day on January 6, 2015. OK, so I get that talking about religion is seen as a taboo by some … I did feel uncomfortable having the conversation. Looking back on the week,…

Sin. What’s with this whole sin thing and us Christians?? Since becoming a Christian, I have understood the cross – I “got” it in my head. I even had/have a great visual to go along with it. My visual has been little black pin marks, each one representing every sin…
