There is nothing worse than feeling like you are stuck in the mud with life. You wake up and feel the same way every morning; you can’t open your eyes and just feel bad about everything. But you try and work as hard as possible to make the best of every moment. So, you swing your legs to the side of the bed, grab your water from the bedside, and drink quickly. Rubbing your eyes, you walk wearily to the... Read more

As Christians, it is more challenging to justify condemning someone with scripture than it is to justify love, mercy, and grace to those around us. The Bible contains many scriptures and examples from Jesus, who shows and teaches us to love our neighbor. Jesus called us to share the gospel and to be salt and light in this dark world. For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved... Read more
I recently started college to earn my Master’s degree. I am always amazed at the new stuff I learn while in school. Not that I feel like I know everything there is to know, but I am mainly surprised to learn there is SO much I don’t know. The writing “fountain of knowledge” seems never-ending at this point. As much as I don’t know about my profession and what I am learning in school, there is so much more I... Read more
There is a verse in Matthew that always sticks out to me. I am often reminded of when I feel the personal nudge to judge or try to change someone else.

Back then, I just wanted to know how to make my life better and how to find healing for my mind, body, and spirit. During that time, I had enough belief to pray to God every day to ask for...

In 2016, I finally decided to go to college. My two youngest children were in middle school, and it was time to further my education. When exploring what I wanted to do, I decided to start with human services and then psychology. I received my Bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2021. I loved learning about psychology, and it was easy to identify the hand of my Creator in the formation of the human brain. Psychology And Christianity As a Christian,... Read more
