I just wanted to send a little reminder that: You are great just as you are, for who you are. You are great because you were made by a marvelous God. You do not need to be the richest or wisest to make a change in this world. Start where you are, using what you [...]
Where would you be without Jesus?
May 6, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Here’s 3 serious questions you need to answer: Aren’t you glad you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior? Do you remember where you were and how you were before God changed you? What if you were still there, unsaved, because no one told you about Christ? Honestly, I’m beyond joyful someone told [...]

The World’s Easiest Challenge
April 17, 2013 By 2 Comments
A word of encouragement goes a long way. That’s something I’ve said before, and will continue to say because it’s always true.
