Live Purposefully for the Lord

I’m not afraid of dying.

I’m afraid of dying before living out the purpose the Lord has for me.

I’m afraid of dying before I impacted the Kingdom of the Lord.

I’m afraid of dying before the Lord was able to use me,

I’m afraid of dying before letting that one person go by without ever knowing the name of Jesus.

My human spirit is a creative, Jesus-loving spirit. A spirit that is clawing and…

Being Pruned for the Kingdom of Jesus

He is the vine, the tree, we are His branches. But what does that mean? “I am the true Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit].” John 15: 1-2 AMP I’ve heard this verse so many times, but today, I felt God…

Your Worth is Not Defined by Your Achievements

Your Worth is Not Dependent on Your Achievements You are worthy. You are amazing. You are as deserving as you ever will be right now in this moment, no matter where you are. Society has done us a disservice. We are all warped to think that we are not worthy or good enough unless we have things to show for it (degrees, career, family, house, car, other material things). Society has made us…

Why I Felt Guilty for Having Anxiety as a Christian

Anxiety isn’t pleasant to experience. It’s a terrible feeling that is hard to make disappear. This feeling coupled with guilt, makes it even more unbearable. But why would someone feel guilty for having anxiety? It’s a natural thing that we can’t help, right? To be honest, being a Christian is what made me feel guilty for having anxiety. I felt that because of the crippling fear, I am a bad…

Living in the Strength of God

The other day I had a surprise day off of work due to snow! Who doesn’t love a snow day to let yourself relax? That is what I should have done, but instead I spent the day running around getting things done off my to do list: studying for my personal trainer exam, working on a paper for my psychology class, finalizing details for the Christian Writer’s conference I was going to be attending,…

Choosing Myself Over a Guy

Decisions are hard. They have always been a stumbling block in the roadway of my life. I constantly second guessed the decisions I wanted/needed to make. I second guessed my intuition and God’s leading. I desired approval for the things that I did and would run to every person I knew, asking them what they think I should do. I received such good advice, but still sat there at my roadblock,…

Embracing Where You Are in Life

What I am about to share with you is a heartfelt letter I wrote to myself not too long ago when I was really struggling through this uncertain period in my life; you know, those years in your 20’s where you feel like you need to have everything figured out and in place, but you are just spinning around in circles making yourself dizzy and overwhelmed. This was a moment of awakening for me to…

The Reason Diets Never Work (And Why You Should Ditch Them Forever)

It’s the beginning of the year, so you know what that means? Everyone is trying to lose weight and have signed away their freedom to begin all of these fad diets. Constantly, I keep hearing the word “diet” and truthfully I just can’t take it anymore. Reason being that I have a negative connotation when it comes to diets as I’m sure most everybody does! And it’s because of good reasons that we as…

How to Grow a Close Relationship With God

Creating a close relationship with Jesus is the best thing we can do in our lives here on earth. But why is it that we seem to have such a hard time establishing this relationship? Why do we have a roller coaster like relationship with Him constantly? Why can’t we seem to just always stay close to Him? Your relationship with Jesus is just like any other relationship you want to grow, you have…

The Struggle Chasing Your Dreams

Do you ever feel like you are chasing things in life, but never making any strides? It’s like those nightmares when the bad guy is chasing you, but you can’t move because your legs feel like bricks. Yeah, that feeling is all too familiar in life for me when it comes to accomplishing my dreams. When you have big goals, life-long dreams, and your soul is crying out to fulfill them, you would stop…

2 Major Mistakes that Could be Making your Blog Fail

It’s time for a change. It’s time to reinvent this blog. My posts before weren’t enough. I didn’t put my heart and soul into them and that is where I failed. I started blogging summer of 2014 as I was listening to “Revelation Song” by Phillips, Craig, and Dean, when I felt God speak to me about starting Being Holy and Healthy. As I look back on this blog that God prompted me to start, I feel…

Growing Spiritually: Waiting on God

New #blogpost today, I open up about growing spiritually mature and learning to wait on God #spiritualhealth #waiting

But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. – Micah 7:7 This feeling, of being ready to do what you were made to do, is so strong it burns like a fire within my soul. I cry out to God desperately, to please just please, tell me and lead me into the plan He has for me. On the outside I feel like nothing is changing. I am still working my…

What Non-Believers Think of Christians

What do Non-Believers really think of Christians...I discuss this in my new blog post #blogger #Christian

Today I had a very interesting conversation with three of my coworkers, all of whom are non-believers, about religion and Christians. They were discussing how religion doesn’t appeal to them and how religious people are mean and make them feel uncomfortable. It made me upset to think of what our reputations are as Christians. In that moment I asked the Holy Spirit to speak through me because I…
