This is a truly amazing book! It has affected me in so many ways! It taught me that no matter what the trial, problem, or need, we can always bring it to God through prayer. A bible verse that really spoke to me was Matthew 7:7 “Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened to you.” Something happened to my uncle similar to what happened to Nate in the book. Nate Saint was in a plane crash and was horribly injured. Well, on June 30th, 2012 my uncle, Continue Reading

Guest Post – Modesty by Savannah Carnahan
I met Savannah at an event called "Fashion Cover", where I was invited to speak to teenage girls about our identity as daughters of the King. The event's theme revolved around modesty and how to dress as the Jesus' girls we are. What an awesome idea! They had a fashion show before I spoke and the "models" (girls from that church) had to write an essay about what Modesty meant to them. Savannah won the contest and I invited her to be a guest on this blog. I believe this is a very important Continue Reading

But we had enough time in our hands for the inevitable. The past was Continue Reading
Broken and Beautiful
Verse: “Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) It was our fourth vacation day at the beach.

God’s Promises Are Forever!
In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, "SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE." Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb; yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also Continue Reading
