Get To Know Him

Have you ever felt your life was like a feather that's floating around, trying to find your place and purpose? A feather will temporarily land, but with a gust of wind will quickly drift away.  Before discovering what a relationship with Jesus Christ was, my life felt much like that.  I found temporary satisfaction in things of this world, such as relationships and material possessions.  I was a weekend warrior at partying.  The problem was that once the new wore off or the late nights came to an end, happiness left, and once again, I was floating and searching for meaning and happiness.

For as long as I can remember, I have been aware of Jesus.  However, my relationship with Him was almost non-existent.  When I came to understand that it was Him I was lacking in my life, everything changed.  The Lord is not some genie in the sky who grants wishes to those He likes and punishes those He does not.  Our life is not meant to float along with happenings and mishaps.  There is a purpose for our life, and God is a real person whose plan for us was to live in perfect harmony with Him.  However, because of Satan and the evil he tempted mankind with, God's plans were thwarted by human choices. We should all pay a penalty because of our natural sinful tendencies. Yet, because of God’s love for us, He sent His one and only son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die on the cross and pay our debt in full!  All we have to do is accept His gift of salvation by believing in His Son, Jesus, turn from our sins, and trust in the Lord. 

If you haven’t prayed the prayer of salvation and you want to accept the free gift of eternal life that only Jesus can offer, then I invite you to pray the following:

Heavenly Father,
I don’t know you, but I want to.  I believe you are my creator, provider, sustainer, Father, and friend.  I believe you sent your most precious son, Jesus Christ, who came to this world, fully God and fully man, to live a life I couldn't live and die a death that I deserve.  I ask you to come into my life and change me. Change my heart. I repent of my sins and ask you to forgive me for the way I have lived. Help me to live for you all the days of my life until the glorious day when I get to be with you forever.  In Jesus’ name I ask this, Amen.

If you just accepted Jesus into your life, please contact me here so I can help encourage you to stay ignited for our Father.

If you’ve been saved but are missing that one-on-one relationship and want to know how to grow in your spiritual walk, I encourage you to do the following:

  •  Find a home church and begin serving. God refers to the church as his bride. It is what will remain when everything else fails. 
  • Read your Bible. God wrote His written word through regular people, just like you and me, through the power of the Holy Spirit.  The Bible is His love letter to us and our life manual. 
  •          Pray continually. Prayer is our direct communication with God. Talk to Him as you would anyone on this earth.
  •           Fellowship with other believers. We cannot do life alone. The Lord knew the hardships we would face, and Scripture states repeatedly that we need one another.

Seasons of Life

  “Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?”   Stevie Nicks wrote these lyrics in 1973. I have listened to Landslide more times than I can count, and each time it hits right in the gut. It’s a song about change. About fear, love, aging, and the quiet questions we all carry as life keeps moving forward.   As   I listened again recently, with the end of another year approaching, I found myself reflecting on the last twelve months. This has been a year! I’m not even sure what adjective fits best. Crazy maybe. Long. Unexpected.   Sometimes life throws so many curveballs at such an accelerated speed, all you can do is try to keep up so they don’t knock you down.   2025 has been filled with a plethora of lessons in love, humility , fear, doubt, grief, and joy. They didn’t all come easy. But then again, we were never promised easy.   In fa...

I Waited.

  I beckoned you to come near, but my way didn’t look like what you wanted.   The lights of the night drew you in, Pulling you into dark corners.   I waited.   You searched for acceptance   in people with empty promises and hollow souls.     You longed for love, not realizing it was mine you needed all along.   I waited.   You turned toward me in moments in need, in fear but each time, you pulled back thinking the distance was too great to cross.   I waited.   The end of your rope seemed to get longer.   Still, I waited.   Your choices led to pain. Things once whole began to fall apart.  What you held onto slipped through your hands.   I was there. I waited.   Then, gently, I opened your eyes to what you had been chasing And your heart to what had been chasing you all along.     And when you finally stopped running There I was,   exactly where I had always been. Waiting.

Journey with God

Did you know there’s a bird famous for holding the world record for the longest nonstop flight from Alaska all the way to Australia? It traveled over 8,000 miles in just 11 days! I stumbled upon an article about the Bar-tailed Godwit while mindlessly scrolling through Facebook, and I’ll admit, I didn’t know anything about this bird before. These fascinating shorebirds escape the harsh winter for warmer climates. My first thought was, why don’t they just stop somewhere closer along the way? According to experts, stopping earlier often means landing in places with less food, more competition and predators, and poor habitats for their long bills. The Godwit’s long nonstop flight reduces these dangers. Even more impressive, these birds begin preparing for their expedition several weeks in advance. They don’t need to eat during their journey because they gorge for 1 to 2 months before departure, building up fat reserves. A few weeks before migration, their digestive organs shrink to reduce ...
