Isaiah 41:10






“ So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. “


This verse, is one of my favorite verses in the bible. It is short, but SO powerful. The first time I read it, it gave me a sudden feeling of hope and peace. This verse illustrates that God, no matter where you are or what you have done, God is always with you no matter what. He is never going to leave you, and walks beside you ever step of the way. When we know these truths, we do not have any need to be afraid of anything that happens, because our faith in God and the truth He gives us, can get us through anything. Whenever we do feel weak, or fall down, God is right beside us, and will pick us up, brush the dust off of us so we can try again. No matter how many times you have let down God, or walked away from Him, He loves you so much, with love we can never comprehend. 

He will always be chasing after us, helping us through every challenge we face on this earth. I took this verse, and planted it on my heart, and every time that I feel anxious, have a panic attack, or feel afraid, I would recite this verse in my head over and over, reminding myself of the truth, and it is amazing how it can change how you feel if you allow it to. Every time I go into a situation that makes me uncomfortable or is unfamiliar to me, I remind myself of this truth and it helps me to go into it with a new perspective.

A Mustard Seed Faith

Image
Sometimes the most honest prayers we can pray are the ones that sound like "This is hard. I'm scared. Please help" The one thing I knew I wanted to take back as a souvenier from my Israel trip were mustard seeds, to have out as a reminder of what Jesus teaches us about having faith the size of a mustard seed. If you haven't seen a mustard seed, they are so small, you can hardly see just one single seed if it was in your hand. In the bible, Jesus teaches that if we have faith even as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains, and it will grow just like a mustard seed will, one tiny seed if planted will grow into something so much bigger. Even with such a small amount of faith, we can do so much more then we can imagine, and that is all we need for Jesus to do the work in us and flourish that faith!  I have never understood that illustration more then the past couple of months. When my health started going off the edge and it went from living in pain everyday, to l...

The Holy Land

Image
  A cool breeze gently blowing through my hair, the gentle rock of the boat, the beautiful sunset over the horizon, and the glowing lights all around us beaming off of the cities on the hills. I couldn't put it to words, but the peace that came over me as our boat sat on the sea of Galilee, the same sea where Jesus was on, and it was like I could feel Him there, just as if he was sitting on that boat with us.  Its hard to even begin to explain what it was like to spend 10 days walking through the same places that Jesus did and being in the land where the bible came alive! It was one of the most beautiful, chaotic, calming, exciting places I have ever been too, and without a doubt I would go back in a heartbeat! No matter where we are, we can always feel God, but there is something different about being in His land, where Jesus lived and breathed and died, and I cannot explain the feeling, but it made the whole bible come to life, and in a sense it made my faith more real, bein...

The Body vs the Mind

Image
"My body hurts, and so does my mind, it's a vicious cycle I can not get out of"  "Health is a relationship between you and your body" says Terri Guillemets.  It is so fascinating, how connected our body and mind really are, and I don't think we always realize that. There are so many worldly things that can cause pain and sickness in our bodies, and as much as those things are real and do affect us, people are finding more and more these days that a lot of the problems we have to deal with in our bodies actually comes from our mind and the state it is in. When our minds deal with mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and stress, it can drag our bodies along with it. It is wild how connected they are, two different things that are one, so connected with each other, and so when one is hurting, the other hurts as well. It's amazing the stories I have heard about how people's bodies have healed by healing their mental health first, and takin...
