Leah says, “There's a girl in my grade, we'll call her Jane. Jane is the "queen bee" of our grade. She has the nicest clothes (her parents are very rich) and she is VERY popular because she's dating a popular boy as well. She's also a bully. She'll bully kids who are very shy, and a girl has left the school because of her.    Also, recently our grade voted for prefects (class leaders), and I was made a perfect. Jane was not. She was very disappointed, but now she keeps interfering with everything we are doing. We're organizing an event this coming week, and she's always involved, as ..read more

I used to be the queen of comparison. Every single time I would walk into a room, the first thing I would do is search out who was in the room.  I was not from a family who had a lot of money. We got new clothes once a year and that was right before school started, and they weren’t from the mall. They were the cheapest clothes that we could buy. So, as you can probably tell, they weren’t the nicest clothes, or the newest trends and I hated it.  I remember one time, while in middle school, staying the night at my grandma’s house on a school night. I didn’t go home before coming to h ..read more

How many of you would agree that we can be our own biggest obstacle? Like, we want to do something, but yet we let fear stop us. Or, we have these great desires, yet we lack the motivation to do what we need to do in order to get them done. Or someone compliments us on something, yet we immediately start thinking of all the ways that we aren’t good enough.   Joshua felt the same way when God was calling him to do big things. He felt weak. He was scared. He probably had the thought, “Who am I to do something like this? God, I know you know everything, but me? Like, don’t you know who I am ..read more

This week’s AMA question is a compilation of several questions I have received over the past couple months. I have had questions on, what do I do if I’m dating a guy and I know it’s not right to what does a pure Christian relationship look like to when do I even know it’s time to start dating? So, I’m going to answer these questions and more!   All right, so let’s start with the question, how do you know when it’s time to start dating. Well, I can give you my advice, but in the end it’s really a decision between you, your parents and God. However, I truly believe that there are times that ..read more

In this week's Ask Me Anything Episode, Grace asks: "Why do you believe in God? And why should I? Why do I believe in God?  When I was at the lowest of lows, God came in and rescued me.  When I was completely broken, He still wanted me.  When my own family didn’t want me, God said, “I want you!”  When the world said there was no use for me, I was just a throwaway, God said, “I have a purpose for you.”  When the world said that I wasn’t worth loving, God said, “I love you so much that I sent my Son Jesus to die for you!”  When I heard that God wanted to come ..read more

I heard my pastor say this years ago and it had such an impact on me that it has stuck with me ever since. He said, “Big dreams and small dreams cost you the same…your life.”  Ephesians 3:16-20 tells us the same thing. It says, and this is Paul speaking, “I pray that from God’s glorious, unlimited resources that He will empower you with inner strength through His Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long ..read more
