As I was reading Jonah today, I wondered why Jonah told the sailors to throw him into the sea. Instead, why didn’t Jonah just jump overboard? If he knew the storm was because of him and he knew the sea would become calm, why didn’t he just jump? Maybe it’s because Jonah was a lot… Continue reading Don’t wait to be thrown in…JUMP!

“Why should I keep showing up when so many others don’t make it a priority? Why should I keep serving? Why should I be dedicated when others don’t care? I’m tired. I’m frustrated. I’m discouraged.” This was a conversation I was having with myself. Then, God revealed something to me. What if Jesus would’ve asked… Continue reading Eyes On The Prize

Man, I like to be comfortable. As soon as I get home I put comfy clothes or pjs on. I also like to be around people who make me comfortable. I like to be in places where I’m comfortable. I like to do things I’m comfortable doing. But I’ve learned if you’re a follower of… Continue reading Obedience And Shaky Hands

I made mashed potatoes tonight. I didn’t expect them to make me sad. But as I stirred a big, heaping mound of butter into them, I thought of Pappaw. And how much he loved mashed potatoes.

God works good even in the bad. Maybe you’ve messed up… Maybe someone you love has messed up… God still works things for good even in the bad. Look at Jonah. When we retell the story of Jonah, we say God told Jonah to go to Nineveh but he went the other way. He gets… Continue reading God Works Good Even In The Bad

“Praying for a good day you.” That’s the message I sent my friend the other day. Seems like an easy thing to do right? Actually, this was my latest struggle in following Christ and being obedient to Him. I had to go to God and tell Him I didn’t know how I could pray this… Continue reading Growing In Faith

The reason I started playing piano at my church is because there was a need. I didn’t volunteer. I was asked and I begrudgingly did it. Every time I had to play I was a nervous wreck. I am the type to avoid any and all eyes on me. So being in the front of… Continue reading Serve
