These days that we are in are filled with division period. Any time you are on the news or social media, there are protests and violence taking place. Jesus we need you.


We can not be shaken by what the world is shaken by, because we will fall. We have the solid rock of Jesus. He tells us in John, fear NOT, for I have overcome the world. He has overcome racism, abortion, everything that is going on in our country right now. We have a hope that is unshakable. All things work out for those who love God and are called in His purpose. The enemy's attack is to put fear in us. In these days, we have to run to God and His word. There is a way that seems right to man, but it leads to death. We have to wear the armor of God.

Jesus on the cross

Jesus was spit on, beaten, called names, injured. A lot of things that have happened to people these past few days. Jesus shed innocent blood for ones who didn't love Him. YET, Jesus said something so importednt that we must take notice. He said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Us as Christians have to do the same. There is this song that I remembered today by 'Bethel'. The piece of the song that comes to my memory is of this: "You delight in showing mercy, and mercy triumphs over judgment". That is how Jesus was, it was His weird, righteous love that set Him apart in a crowd. When we look at this world, we must be merciful and say father forgive them, for they know not what they do. We must be filled with a gentle spirit. You may think that being so will only cause one to be trampled with. If you have the word of God in you, you can not be moved.

Another great awakening

I believe that we are in the days for another great move of the Holy Spirit. It wasn't by chance that Trump and our vice president are surrounding themselves with God. I watched the ingratiation and noticed all the priests that spoke and prayed. Trump mentioned scripture and said that most importantly that we are protected by God. Because he stands with God, so many are angered with Him. God's word brings forth righteousness, and the word of God convicts people's lifestyles. Jesus hears our prayers. God is going to awaken people young and old to the revelation of Jesus. In the last days, there will be signs and wonders. The young will prophesy, the old men will dream dreams. We will be heard louder if we go seek God and pray. When we pray heaven is moved by our words. If you look at the 70's, very similar things were taking place. Then Jesus came, and a massive revival took place. Jesus was, is, and is yet to come. God has placed us in the time period that we have been for a perfect plan. We could have been born in the 20's, or 50 years from now. God put you here for your generation. Your specific DNA has been put on earth now, because what God has put inside of you is needed for this generation and not for another. God is raising up a generation to fight for their country, school, community by prayer. To say "yes" to God, and lay down everything to see their friends and family loving and knowing Jesus.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
