What it means to change your thinking…
Developing an overcomer’s mindset takes practice; taking thoughts captive, then moving our thinking the opposite direction of negativity. Move your thoughts toward obedience to God’s ways and increased faith…because without faith it’s impossible to please the Lord. The world can be cynical, but we don’t have to be. Your thought life really can look different […]
RealFaith: The Thing About Prayer
This is just a fervent passion of mine, this thing of prayer…talking to God, our Creator, and hearing back from Him. I love this quote from a wonderful little book I’m reading called, “Rabbi, Teach us to Pray” by Aaron Eby; I hope you enjoy this food for thought! “Perhaps we do not feel eloquent […]
Renewed Minds
One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible is Romans 12:2: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. We can have our minds renewed by His Words and we […]
RealFaith – A Few Things I Know
The fact that the Lord God wants to be known by us is so wonderful and so astounding to me. He invites us to follow Him (Matthew 4:19) and seek after Him (Luke 11:9-10). He promises not to leave us nor will He ever forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8), no matter how hard or trying our […]
The Creative Creator
DNA is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms. Interestingly enough, if you take a look at a DNA double helix structure from the front, this is what we normally see in science textbooks (see picture below). But, what you probably have never seen is what a DNA double […]

(Jeremiah 29:11, New Living Translation) Are there situations and circumstances in your life that you don’t understand? Surely, I cannot be the only one! There are so many […]
There are no coincidences!
“Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7 I love how eventually as time goes on, science always ends up confirming what the Bible says is true; it makes me happy! We have […]
Proverbs 18:21 says that the tongue can bring death or life.
Proverbs 18:21 says that the tongue can bring death or life. So the question today is: How are you using yours? We have no idea how our words may be affecting those who hear them. Have you ever been around someone who continually spoke words of LIFE into you? Those people are sometimes hard to […]
Do You See Goodness & Mercy Every Time You Turn Around?
The first scriptures I ever remember reading are found in Psalm 23. My great-grandmother taught them to me when I was 3 years old and begged me to stand up in front of our church and recite all 6 verses…I refused, but still I know that entire Psalm by heart. I am incredibly grateful for a […]
Resolved
The cold, hard fact is that we will not accomplish anything in 2017 without some effort! Isn’t that such an in-your-face thought? Effort. Regardless of how that statement hits us today, effort is absolutely essential for anything to change. We cannot sit idly by and expect positive change in any part of our lives. Nor […]
