Two things Can Be True At The Same Time

Two things Can Be True At The Same Time

With many things in life 2 things can be true at the same time. For example: * Chocolate Milk can taste delicious to you, and give you horrible stomach problems as well. * Politicians can do good things, and also be horrors of human beings that lie, cheat, steal and murder. * God

A New Way To Pray

A New Way To Pray

While I Am Waiting

While I Am Waiting

There Really Really Aren't Coincidences

There Really Really Aren't Coincidences

2021-07-28 : There Really Really Really Aren't Coincidences I was reminded that > There are no coincidences. Which is a little odd considering I have already believed for years that there are no coincidences. Yet here I am. Getting a new and fresh lesson on just how true that

The Bondage Of Pride

I ran into the uncomfortable realization that pride is one of the biggest things that keeps me in bondage. So I decided to take an inwards look and ask myself how does pride manifest itself. It's pride that makes me not stop and turn around when I make

Changing The Way You Pray

Changing The Way You Pray

The better I get at praying... The more peace and faith I have. There is a direct relationship between how much and how your prayer life matures with your ability to handle stress and have peace in the stormy seasons of life. Have you tried this? Instead of praying * God

Prayer, Hope, Outcomes And The Lord

Prayer, Hope, Outcomes And The Lord

When we pray do we pray for the outcome, the fulfilment of our prayer? Or is our hope simply in the Lord himself? And we're pleased and content with him regardless of the prayer? Maybe this sounds like some trite christian sayings. But consider this. Consider the possibility

Trust Issues

So today I was shown that I have trust issues that I didn't realize were in fact trust issues. You see anxiety, fear, and inability to manage circumstances in healthy ways can often times be related to trust issues. Trust issues specifically where you don't trust

The Real Super Power

The Real Super Power

We all hear about or watch super hero movies, comics, and stories all the time. What if I were to tell you there is a super power out there. And it's available to every human being on the planet? Would you scoff? Would you laugh? What is this

I Am An Abraham, That Is A Good Thing!

I Am An Abraham, That Is A Good Thing!

The story of Abraham is one where God tells you to do something, but has no intention for you to follow through. He told Abraham to kill his son. But it was the journey to that moment that was the purpose. It was not the directive to complete. > God

Recapturing Your Personality

Recapturing Your Personality

Here's a tough question > Is it possible you forgot who you are? Strange question you might think. But here me out using a story from my own life. Recently as I became free of a very long milestone around my neck my mind and spirit became unlocked.

Out Of Balance

Recently I've been trying to recapture my own personality after burying it for decades. Often times when life goes sideways a person will sacrifice or hide parts of themselves in order to protect themselves, defend themselves, or just because it's the part of them that got

What It Feels Like When God Is First In Your Life

What It Feels Like When God Is First In Your Life

Since I first reached out my hand to the Lord to accept him I have had a question that rattled around over and over. "How did Moses love the Lord more than his wife?" Now Moses wasn't out of line. But he loved the Lord more

Life Is Such A Black Hole

Life Is Such A Black Hole

Have you ever stopped and thought about just how much things in the past, or in your immediate "now" present suck up all your attention and emotional energy? The "past" and the "present now" are truly black holes. They can constantly pull and draw

Sometimes A No Leads To A Yes

Sometimes A No Leads To A Yes

Crazy couple of days here for me. Too much going on to make solid progress on Comic. But I am getting closer to my style every day. Which is an awesome feeling. Right now I am trying to decide on line thickness for the line art portions. But.. Sometimes a

Hitting Delete On The Past

Hitting Delete On The Past

Was talking to a friend yesterday and I mentioned "Yeah I ain't fooling around anymore with my issues, my life, my health, my relationships. Full steam ahead. Hitting delete on the past." The words coming out of my own mouth rang loudly. Convicting myself with an

One Of The Scariest Prayers

One Of The Scariest Prayers

If you're chilling with Jesus you probably pray at least once an a while. I'd recommend multiple times a day, but everyone is in different seasons of life. I know there are seasons where I pray all the time, multiple times a day. And there are

Idols Keep Us From God's Blessings And True Happiness

Idols Keep Us From God's Blessings And True Happiness

What is an idol you might ask? > An idol is anything you FEEL you want more than God. Also > An idol is anything you CHASE after, instead of chasing God's calling. I am absolutely guilty of both of those. I chased an idea for over a
