Life Lesson From a Child
Given the topic of this week, forgiveness, I decided to research a little on the experts…children. I found this poem (here) that was written by a 6 year old regarding a bully: Give Me Your Love When I look at you, you have a really big smile But I don’t. You are pretty, But…

A Kind Act
This one will cost a little bit of money but hey, if you want some free ways of helping out, take a look (here) or add a comment. This is kind of related to my tithing post (here) in that I don’t feel like you have to give 10% to a church every time you…

My Mistake
Do you ever have those situations you look back on and wish you would have handled them differently? I hate those situations. Why can’t I just handle them right the first time? This is usually caused by emotions. Sometimes the emotions are personal and sometimes they are driven by external entities. I guess this…

What Would You Do?
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a small post about WWJD (here) where I talk about discouragement. This week, I’m going to throw out a tough question and then ask you what you would do and what you think Jesus would do. Tomorrow I will share a similar situation and how I handled it. …

Forgiveness
Welcome back and I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! For those of you that are new or for those of you that need a little refresher, last week I wrote about honesty and I challenged you to try to be completely honest in one aspect of your life (read more here). I then shared…

Good Tunes
I came into this week with high hopes but also some unknowns. I had no idea how people would react to what I shared but I felt like God was calling me to share it. I am very happy that God placed the people in my life that he did that could help me through…

Try Listening
To go along with this weeks challenge about honesty and confession (see here), a big part of that is listening. As I touched on briefly yesterday, listening to what God is telling you is a key. Being honest and confessing something to somebody leaves you vulnerable. As human beings we naturally hate being vulnerable. So…

Do You Need Prayer?
If you are still struggling with something, pray about it and really try to listen to God. Believe me, when I was going through what I shared with you yesterday (here), I prayed all of the time but I never listened. I was the one doing all the talking and never took the time to…

A Single Confession
The challenge for this week is to be honest in one aspect of your life (see here for the full challenge). I think at one point, every single one of us has hid something from someone. For some of us, we are still hiding something, and for others, we have a clear conscience. So I’m challenging you…

Can You Be Completely Honest?
This weeks challenge is all about honesty. Can you share your deepest secrets? That’s a tough one. One that needs to be taken very seriously. Awhile ago our pastor spoke on honesty. He challenged us to be completely honest in the day-to-day routines. For example, if you go out to eat and the food…

Broken Gas Gauge
“Helping hands” posts are designed to give my readers an idea on how to help others. Sometimes I will post things that I have done myself to help someone else, sometimes it will be ideas that I have, or sometimes it will be things I have seen other people doing. I will try to mix…

WWJD?
What Would Jesus Do? It’s become a common phrase and was once one of the most popular trends in America. But when it comes to getting discouraged, what would Jesus do? What did Jesus do? Did He ever get discouraged? Is it even a sin to get discouraged? I’m not sure if it is a…
