All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 New Life Version (NLT)
This blog is my way to share words inspired by God and trains us to be righteous.

There are times in our life where we feel like we are sinking. This reminds me of a parable Jesus told about the two houses. Don't place your hope into the things of this world or the sand. That's when you start to sink. We need to build our faith, our trust and believe in our rock, Jesus. When those storms come, we will still be standing because we built our life on the rock.

Psalm 34:13 ESV Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Titus 3:2 ESV To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. James 4:11 Living Bible (TLB) Don’t criticize and speak evil about each other, dear brothers. If you do, you will be fighting against God’s law of loving one another, declaring it is wrong. But your job is not to decide whether this law is right or wrong, but to obey it. Our words c...
What is the "American Dream"? Is it having nice things? Big house? New car? Well paying job? Is it being married? Having kids? Traveling the world? This is not Jesus' dream for America. When you chase after these things, you begin to think you are in charge of your life. You start to identify yourself based on what you have accomplished. If someone ask you who you are, what do you say? I'm a mom, I work for XYZ. You base who you are on what you have and what you have done, but that's not who you are. Jesus doesn't want you to lose who you are in what you have or done. You are a child of God, and a new creation in Christ. You are here to testify the greatness of the blood shed for all. May your actions, words, and identity be lead be Jesus and not by what the world expects from you. Mark 8:34-37 Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s...
