Read MoreGod is way more interested in who you are becoming than where you are going…which is why He sometimes allows us to remain in a tough season. He wants to grow us, prune us, mature us, sanctify us, and ultimately draw us closer to Himself.
Read MoreI think we can all agree that loneliness is one of the worst feelings ever. Feeling isolated and alone under any set of circumstances isn’t easy. But it’s especially difficult when you’re walking through a tough season or you’re in the middle of a big transition. Oftentimes when we’re struggling with loneliness, we reach out to other people to fill the void we’re feeling.

As a lover of snow and cold weather (and as someone who grew up in Georgia where snow rarely happened), I could barely contain my excitement.

Read MoreWe’ve all had this feeling in some way, shape or form. We believe God has given us something or called us to something, and then all of a sudden that gift, that dream, that person is taken away from us. It’s a confusing place to be, but you don’t have to stay confused. Our God is a God you can be confident in, a God you can trust wholeheartedly. Even if your life seems to be spiraling out of control, He is still in complete control. Nothing that happens to you ever catches Him by surprise.
