Are you a Victim or Victor?

I don’t know if you have ever experienced the messiness of life, but it can be tough sometimes to want to continue to keep moving forward. I want to ask you, what do you do when you face trials? When you lose your job? When your boyfriend or girlfriend leaves you? When you feel like…

WHY ME?

The older I get the more I realize how hard this life can be. Things don’t always go according to plan and when things are really good, somebody is always there to stomp on your parade. Sometimes we even encounter things in life that can be a huge blow to us, like death or disease;…

Anything Beyond is a Blessing.

What if you could change your entire perspective on life and everything around you started to take a different shape in how you saw things? What if you started to look at the things you have, and those items became enough? Over the last couple years God has really been doing that in my life. …

The Relationship Tank

They say things like its an emotion that they feel or something they enjoy. Things they…

You did WHAT? For free?

Almost 3 years ago God called me to leave everything behind and just go. Not knowing what I was getting into I soon came to realize that the visa that I ended up coming to New Zealand on was very specific. As long as I worked for the church and was paid through them, I…

Get It Yourself

Growing up my dad use to tell me if I wanted something, I have to go get it myself because he wasn’t going to pay for it. So at a young age that is what I did. At 14 I went out and got a job working at a dry cleaner shop for a big…
