Who is He?

So there has been a question going through my mind lately. It is one that is so simple, yet so dynamic.

Who do you say Jesus is?

Is He just that cliche Sunday School answer? Is He your life on Sundays, and for your five-minute devotional Monday-Saturday? Or is He the breath you take, encompassing every aspect of your life?

Wanting to Hate and Needing to Love

I've been trying to formulate my thoughts into coherent paragraphs for almost a month now. Lately, life has just been so heavy. I've lost a family member, faced the declining health of loved ones, watched friends battle horrible situations, and dealt with deceit from people I care for. All I want to do is come up for air and stop diving deeper into the mess of life. The betrayal I faced this past month was almost enough to do me in. I started planning through what I was going to say to this person I used to call family next time I saw them. My thoughts were swirling as I cried and contemplated how our relationship was never going to be the same. I had played the part of the fool and was feeling particularly justified in the walls I would be putting up and avenues through which I would distance myself. Then through a serious of events, God pulled me back to reality and back to Himself. I don't get to wash my hands of people and leave them high and dry, just because they ...

Out of the Overflow of the Heart

What a week. For those of you who live under a rock, the election just happened. And I think we can all agree that this one has just about taken the cake for ugly elections. I mean, people just got downright nasty with each other. At first, it made me mad. I had to take a week off of Facebook because the way people were posting was affecting the view I had of them in real life. But then, it hit home. My family got involved. Words were thrown; words that can never be taken back. I think that 20 years of pain and hurt all culminated into one ugly Facebook showdown. And sure, the post was deleted. But the hurt wasn't. I was heartbroken. These are my loved ones. And politics brought out such a painful side. But the more I thought about it, I realized the heart issue here isn't politics. The heart issue is the past 20 years of disconnect and family pain. It just took one comment that came across the wrong way to bring all of that to the surface. That got me to thinking ab...

Group Texts and Mass Tragedy

If you don't live under a rock, you know that a lot of chaos has been happening in our world lately. School shootings, neighborhood shootings, political nonsense, you name it. And as things normally go when mass atrocities take place, people have flocked to social media. As a quick side note, I have an equal hatred/guilt for social media debates on hot topics. I believe they accomplish absolutely nothing. People's emotions are heightened and there is a propensity to believe you can say whatever you want over the internet. I also have guilt, because it is so difficult  for me to stay out of these debates. Anyways, I could go on and on about my hatred for starting fights on Facebook that solve nothing and how I believe Christians need to stay the heck out of judgmental social media, but I'll hop off my soap box. Because as tragedy ensues and tough conversations need to be had, I've realized how truly blessed I am. I'm in a group text. I know, "blessed" a...
