Finding Joy in the Anticipation
Recently I was talking with a priest who shared his Advent message with me.

God Hears Your Prayers
Recently I had one of those days where I couldn’t help but think, ‘Gosh, God really hears our prayers.’ Back in 2016 I did my first bible study.

Listen to the Word of God, Not the World
How much easier would it be to listen to everything the world tells us? Life would be so much easier if we just went with the status quo, followed the societal norms, but that’s not what we’re called to do as children of God. We are called to a much more difficult way of life.Continue reading “Listen to the Word of God, Not the World”
