May 2, 2012 By 4 Comments
I like Jacob in the Bible for the oddest reason. I must admit that he had an extremely audacious character. First, by stealing his brother’s birthright and second, by demanding a blessing from God. In Genesis 32:22-32 Jacob wrestles with God. The two began wrestling from night until daybreak and when God demanded Jacob to [...]

Next week is my birthday (May 30th) and to celebrate, I’ve decided to give it all away for something better: the chance to save lives.

A Simple Way to Increase Your Prosperity

I wonder how many blessings I’ve missed out on because I haven’t asked God for them. Many of us say we want to live the abundant life; we want that life Jesus came to give us. We read our Bibles, we pray to God, yet we don’t see a huge change. We cannot understand why [...]

It amazes me how marvelous and mighty God works. I’ll never forget when God chose to shine His glory through me and someone I once called my enemy. In one of my classes in middle school this girl D—(to protect her name) and I never got along. I never had anything against her, but I [...]
