If Left Unchecked...

 A few weeks ago, I noticed a significantly-sized crack on the windshield of my car... Now let me preface this with the fact that I have had a tiny spot close to the bottom of the windshield for the last two years, almost as long as I've had this car. It looked like this: Doesn't seem all that big, does it? It's smaller than a fingernail, and the crack on my windshield had remained this small for the last two years. Until all of a sudden, I got in my car heading to campus one Tuesday morning and it wasn't this small anymore. It became this: That curved line snuck up on me, and it kept growing for the next week and a half! It seemed like every time I got in my car it grew by 2-3 inches, and I knew I had to get it fixed right away. Driving was difficult having my line of vision distorted, and the sun always hit just the right spot to blind me with no hope of lessening the brightness with a visor. I dislike driving already, and now for this week and a half drivin

Something New...

It's been so long since I even though about this blog. I lost sight of why I was doing this and got caught up in the craziness of life. I've gone through a lot of changes in my life, and God's brought me through a lot these last couple of years. Things have been good, things have been hard, things have not gone how I expected them to, things have exceeded my expectations. Through it all, though, God has been faithful each and every step of the way. God has put a desire on my heart to write, and I am praying through where God is leading me in this blog as an outlet to use the gifts He's given me and desires He's placed on my heart. I'm planning to reformat this whole blog and start fresh. If there's anyone reading this, would you pray with me and for me as I seek God's guidance of where He is leading this project? I can't wait to see what He's got in store for this! Stay tuned for updates...

God's Plan and His Timing are Perfect

Have you ever wondered why God seems to be taking so long to answer your prayers, or to reveal His Plan to you? This is the story of my summer where God didn't seem to answer my prayers until what I considered the last minute. Before I go too much further, I want to put Psalm 37:4 in your mind: "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." This verse is key to my summer story, so keep it in the back of your mind as you read! Fourteen years ago, God placed a calling on my heart to be a teacher. Yes, I'm one of those people who just knew long before college began what career path I'd be taking, although I did question my choice quite a bit a few times in the middle! I went to PBA in West Palm Beach, studied Elementary Education, and was on the 'right track' to graduate with my degree and land a job as a teacher in a Christian school. During my last semester of Student Teaching at a Christian School in Palm Beach County,

Day 1-Matthew 1

Well hello again! I haven't posted for a while, sorry! I just wanted to say that today starts another year of the New Testament Challenge! That's right, from today until Easter Sunday I plan to commit to reading one chapter of the New Testament each day. And hopefully this year I can keep up and maybe stay up to date with my posts here! It's going to be a struggle, I already know that! But I pray that God would give me the desire to continue on with this and that I can make it through all the way this time! I would like to ask you, readers, to pray for me as I begin this journey through Scripture. I can already see it will be a struggle to stay focused and keep the desire to press on to the end. I know there will be roadblocks and distractions ahead, but I pray that my eyes would be focused on Christ as I begin this journey and I ask that you would pray for me as I seek Him in this adventure. So today is a step onto a new path, a new time of discovery. I hope that you w

Finals week is here!

As much as I would love to spend time blogging this week, I don't think it's going to happen. It's finals week, so I will be spending nearly all my time studying and packing to move back home for the summer. I hope to start blogging more this summer, but we will have to see! To any college students, good luck with finals, and finish strong! To any graduating seniors, may God bless you as you enter the next chapter of your life! Until next time!

Stressed Out? Go to God!

Tonight I just wanted to share a quick bit of encouragement. I know for several students, myself included, finals week is coming fast! Classes are wrapping up, and there are tests, papers, and projects due in the next week. I don't know about you, but it's a little stressful! Add packing up to move out to the mix, and it becomes a nightmare to think about! EEK! But something I was reminded of today is that I need to keep my focus on God, because He will get me through! Isaiah 40:29 says, "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." Great encouragement, right? I thought it was a good reminder as I finish writing a final paper! I was reading 'Jesus Calling' today, and the little devotional once again fit exactly what I was going through today. It says: "Make Me your focal point as you move through this day. Just as a spinning ballerina must keep returning her eyes to a given point to maintain her balance, so you must keep retu
