We have all lived through times of confusion. Whether it be confusion in our world, in the lives of those we know, or in our own lives. Confusion can be caused by so many things—chaos, miscommunication, differing beliefs, ect. It is something that we each have to deal with at some point in our lives.

There is such a security in knowing what will happen in your life. To be in control of your everyday. Give yourself the opportunities you want. And be surrounded by the certain people you want. But if you are anything like me, you have realized that this is a complete impossibility. Some people may say that fate directs your life. Or karma leads your way. And other people don’t even think that much into who is controlling their lives. But as believers we can know that there is a God that controls all. In times of uncertainty and confusion, it…

I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time at being slow to anger. Patience doesn’t come easy to me. And when someone does something that upsets me, I have a difficult time not getting angry.

I think everyone goes through a season of loneliness at some point in their life. Every girl will experience the loneliness of being single. And as a Christian, you may experience a time when it feels as if you are the only one on earth living for the Lord. Whatever the lonely season is that you may be in, know that it is only that—a season. But loneliness actually doesn’t exist if you are a believer in the living God. There are so many verses that tell us that we are not alone. No matter when or where we feel…

There will be times when we each will be in a low place. Whether that place comes from grief, shame, loss, or sadness, we each will experience that place of feeling so extremely low. Highs and lows come with life. But our choice is how long we stay in the low places. Life will throw curve balls at you. You will be hit with heartache and grief more times than you could count. But always remember that there is a God that is with you through both the highs and the lows. What you desire your life to be may…

She kneeled down and began to pray. Tears streamed down her face as she unashamedly poured her heart out to the Lord. Hannah was an ordinary woman with ordinary struggles. But she was more than just her difficulties. She knew who her God was and how He could turn her circumstance around. Although Hannah was an ordinary woman, she had an extraordinary God. Hannah is an example to all Christian women. Here’s why: Her life was not perfect. Hannah’s story is told in 1 Samuel 1. Just from that one chapter we learn that Hannah was married to a man…
