IAMFORGIVEN

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND? IS IT POSSIBLE?

My entire life I was raised in this bubble called America, where my world view was shaped by the music I listened to, the TV and movies I watched, and the people I was around. My goals and visions were based on how I can impress people with all that I have accomplished and material…

He was lonely!

His head was down texting away with not having a clue what was going on around him. When he was done with that text he would immediately check his Facebook to see if anybody had sent him a message. Nothing! So he looked up for a little bit and then immediately started to look at…

I will miss you!

He had lived a life of struggles and pain, some self afflicted and some were out of his control. Two years ago I was looking for a place to live and God brought me to this house where I met this guy named David. He was an older gentleman but super nice and I felt…

Life as a Missionary

I really wish I could sit here and tell you that living a life as a missionary is pretty simple, but the reality of it is that not everybody can do this. Not everybody is willing to give up their comforts of life and walk by faith into the unknown, having to fully trust God…

Growing up, we all remember our parents telling us certain things that we thought were just to control us and take away our fun. And right after that comes those famous last words, “Just wait until you have kids and you will see!” For me my mom was always wanting to know what I was…

The Center of Gain

It’s funny the things we do when we want something. People will react in different ways according to how they learned to get what they wanted when they were growing up. If you are use to getting your way and something stops you from doing that, we all resort back to finding a way to…

The look that led to Destruction

It started with just one look as his eyes gravitated to another woman. That look turned into a stare, and from that stare the thought of “what if” permeated his mind. As he began to entertain those thoughts he would position himself in a place to test the waters and see how much he could…
