part two.

because God created us and created us perfectly, we are not meant to live in bondage.
we are not meant to live under or live in the darkness.

maybe you're at a point in your life where you feel like things need to change.
maybe you want to change some things.
you feel like there's a greater purpose for your life, and yet you don't see it.

the cool thing is that we have a choice.
we can either listen to the lies or we can search for that beautiful purpose.
we can dwell on our pain and struggles or we can reach out for help.

the first step in finding that purpose is to be completely honest with someone. share with them what's REALLY going on. share with them your doubts, fears, confusion, and brokenness. reach out for that help and your healing will begin.

2 Chronicles 7:14 says:
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land”

we need to be humbled before our God. when we take the time to humble ourselves before Him and cast all our anxieties on Him, He will pour out his blessings on us so that we may be healed and free from these chains that bind us.
if we can take these steps in being honest with someone we will start to see ourselves healing. slowly but surely. it's a process. in that process we don't have to be confined to the past.

maybe you already know that though.


we don't have to suffer from our struggles anymore...WHY??
because Jesus has paid it all.


all of our failures.


all our mistakes.


all of our pain.




but maybe we've forgotten that part.
maybe we forget too often.
maybe we just take this for granted.
maybe we take hope for granted.

but our hope is only found in one place. the cross.



our challenge to you today is to remember where you find your hope. hope is not found in a blog or in a sermon or in a friendship, but hope is found through what Jesus has done on the cross for us. our hope is found in God’s word. our hope is found through prayer. Jesus is our hope.

part one.

There are many things I don't understand. I don't understand dispensational theology. I don't understnad babies. I defintatly don't understand parents either. Maybe you are going through crap right now. And maybe you feel like nobody understands you. Maybe you feel alone right now, and that nobody understands anything about you. Yet deep down inside you know you are broken and that you need a change. Maybe you don't want to hold your brokeness inside any longer. Maybe you just need to be honest with yourself. Maybe you have questions...What does honesty look like? How can we take that brokeness and turn it into healing? In this mess of a person that you've become, how can you find peace?

I know someone who can help...

I know someone who understands.
He has taken all of your pain.
He's taken all of that confusion.
All of the doubt.
All of that shame.
He's taken all of that brokeness and nailed it to the CROSS...

If you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ I can promise you that "He who began a good work in you will complete it."(Phil. 1:6)

God will never give up on you.
God will always be there.
God has a great plan for you.
God wants you to have life.

Don't give up.

Today is a NEW day.

You are not a screw up, or a mistake.
You are beautiful, and made perfect, exactly as God wanted.
