I just got off the phone with my father. For those of you who don't know, he is an atheist. He is a logical thinker, someone who doesn't believe in anything unless he can see it and verify it with his own eyes.

The other day, my daughters and I gathered for Bible Study, and we read from the book of Matthew. A snippet of what we read is below…

There are a few things that I need to confess to you all. I need to confess that I am weak and feeble, that my faith greatly lacks (in certain areas), and that I feel like a hypocrite.

Jesus tells us in John 4:23-24 that a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth. 

If you are a follower of Christ, more often than not, God will ask you to do something. He may ask you to share your testimony, give something valuable away, adopt or foster a child, move to new city, leave an unhealthy relationship, or stand up for a person or cause.

I love listening to testimonies. It doesn't matter if someone is sharing a testimony they've heard about, or if it's the actual person sharing themselves. There is just something so powerful about testimonies that uplifts and encourages my soul.

Samuel 22:2 says,  All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him (David), and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him.

I'm sure many of you (if not all) have experienced hardships, struggles, or problems in life. I don't think I've ever met anyone who's said they've never had problems, or that they have an easy life.

No matter what we are going through, what our circumstances look like, or what we are currently feeling, we can still worship our amazing God.

Today I wanted to do a fun post, so I am sharing 25 things (you don't know) about me.

Sometimes, when I'm waiting in the checkout line, I'll pick up a magazine to see what the latest celebrity rumor or fashion advice is. A lot of it is mumbo jumbo, so I put the magazine back on the stand where it belongs.

When I first came to know the LORD, I learned (from Joyce Meyer) that we are made up of three parts: our body, soul, and spirit. The body is our physical body, which houses our spirit and our soul.

Every year (leading up to Easter), I make a point to watch Mel Gibson's, The Passion of the Christ. I do this to remember what Jesus Christ did for me, to remember the truth meaning of his death and resurrection.

When I first became a Christian, I was starving for God's Word. I went to as many local bible studies as I could, and watched numerous sermons on TV or Youtube.

Life is a constant roller coaster. We have highs and lows; we have times when we are on the mountain tops, then in a matter of days, we are down in the valleys. During my lows, I've noticed that my thoughts are often negative and self-defeating.

No, you don't have to worry, this is not a pre-armageddon post, nor is it a post of me writing about who is going to heaven and who is going to hell.

The mind of Christ is extremely different than that of our own. I know this because, through the last seven and a half years, the Holy spirit has continued to cleanse and renew my mind (Romans 12:2).
