A girl on my tema opened up to us about her past struggles with depression. She told us how lonley she was and how she couldn't open up to family and friends. I believe God spoke to me through her. Someone very close to me is and has been struggling with depression. I realized that I put up a wall when she trys to talk to me about it. I struggle with patience and understanding with her. I felt convicted and guilty but the more I prayed and listened about it I realized that guilt was from the enemy. God reminded me that rather than dwell on wishing I could change the past I can change...

This is a poem I wrote one night when I couldn't sleep. At the request of my teammates, I'm sharing this poem/praise prayer with all of you. It is a reflection of what Jesus means to me and how I'm growing in my love of the Lord. Enjoy! At the cross I find my King, Lord of lords and everything Maker of heaven and earth, You knew my heart before my birth I must say thank you every day, For gifts You give and take away For You are big and I am small, You did it God, You made it all I come to pray at the cross, In times of joy and great loss Only in this special...

I won’t relent until you have it all…until you have it all. Before I knew the Truth…everything that I used to be…my past…take it all! I will not relent until you have everything that is not me… These things do not tell me who I am…only you can tell me who I am. I once was darkness but now I am light! You have made me pure by your blood! Jesus! Set a fire down inside my soul! Let it burn with your passion! Give me your heart! Let me see what you see! Let me feel what you feel! Show me your will…your thoughts…your truth. Come be...

There is Hope Trembling in Your presence My breaths are deep My breaths are quick On my knees I cry I hear a steady voice In my unsteady mind In my unsteady heart I hope that it’s You “There is hope” There is hope There is hope Hope for something I’m not sure of He lay there silently His chest rising His chest falling Eyes sealed shut Is there really hope? Is it hope for his earthly life? Is it hope for his eternal life? Is this really the end? On my face before You Tears are falling from my eyes Screams are escaping my mouth How can this be happening? A strong sense...

This is a short poem that the Lord gave me one morning and I wanted to share it with you…read it out loud if possible… and let the words of the Lord pierce to the deepest places of your spirit.   O my soul awaken! Awaken to your destiny! Look upon the One that has you in the palm of His hand! Look upon His face and come Alive! Awaken to find your voice! To pierce the hearts of men with the love of God! Awaken man of God! In the Name of Jesus come Alive! Come alive and see your potential! See your potential in Him! Apart from Him you are nothing! Awaken to see the Victory...
