Don’t Let My Death Be The Reason

The day I lost a dear grandmother in Christ I wrote this poem sorting my feelings. My letter, a letter I planned to write and send her a month ago, I had finally wrote it only a day before. It lay on the table stamped. Don’t waste time taking things and people for granted. We just do not know.

Don’t let my death be the reason

Don’t let my death be the reason

you want to meet up.

There were open schedules before.

Now an empty plate and cup.

Don’t let my death be the reason

you desire to call.

Many hours slipped through,

Knowledge Doesn’t Make You A “Mature” Christian (I’m A Hypocrite)

Staying Accountable To My “Yes”

One of the messages I listened to recently, I think it was Mike Winger on YouTube, but a point was brought up that we need to let our yes be yes. The things we say we are going to do, we need to be accountable to. Though I know this scripture, this really spoke to…

I Stopped Waiting Until The Last Minute To Read Blog Posts | Apology

From the ending of 2017 to the beginning of 2018, I experienced burn out. I was trying to constantly read every post of the bloggers I followed. Up until last year, I didn't really have a method of staying up to date with bloggers that worked.  Most of 2019, I would wait until the end…

Knowledge & Teaching | Spiritual Gifts

God doesn't care what our skill set is. He doesn't care what we are naturally gifted in. What we think we should do could be completely opposite of what God wants. John Bunyan, for example, was a son of a tinker. He was not well learned, yet, God used him to preach and eventually write…

Are You Fasting… For Jesus

A very popular diet right involves fasting, but for Christians are we using the time we fast for Jesus if we say it is for Him? First, I do want to share that not everyone can fast from food for medical or mental reasons and I think fasting from other things is absolutely okay. It's…
