Money Problems

2280) My young scholars have no idea how money “works” in life. They see it as something to have to buy what they want. No other thought is attached to it usually. The other day, I asked one of my students if she had a credit card, how would she use it? She didn’t hesitate;

Deathbed Promises

Deathbed Promises 2279) I have heard of many people who are lying on their deathbeds who decide to acknowledge Christ and give their hearts to him. It’s easy to judge situations like this. Well, he/she realized they were at their end, so now they commit to him. It really doesn’t matter what our opinion is

Make Way

2278) I love it when I’m reading a familiar verse and the Holy Spirit shows me something I hadn’t noticed before. In this case, it’s the verse Isaiah 43:19. Here, Isaiah tells us in his prophetic way to see (God) is doing a new thing…. (God) is making a way in the wilderness.” As I

Right Here

2277) There have been times when I’ve had to say or do difficult things, and the only way I could successfully do them is to have someone with me, just to be there for support. When someone was with me, it made it possible to have the courage to say or do the difficult things.

You’re Not Alone

2272) Vulnerability has great benefits for all. This doesn’t mean we need to pour out our most hidden secrets. Instead, it can mean, yes, I found that same website confusing. Or, I have had a disagreement with my spouse, too. When we find out that similar things happen to others, it can be a great

A Little Now or A Lot Later

2271) Part of maturity is gaining wisdom and weighing gratification. Many things give you gratification in the moment, but if you wait, it is much greater. Do you want to do things for others so they, or those who witness it, will praise you in the moment, or will you choose to do these things
