  • Encouragement for when you don’t know what to do

    Jasmine January 8, 2022

    Recently I was in a panic over some decisions I needed to make. I’ve been one to pause in the face of not wanting to make a mistake or miss God. Meanwhile, God is much too big and too good to be missed. But with decisions needing to be made, time ticking, and no sure answer, I’d completely overlooked that truth. I believe that is why God tells us not…

  • When Thanksgiving Meets Impossibility

    Jasmine October 2, 2021

    Five loaves and two small fish + thanksgiving = the perfect soil for miracles I’d love to say that every day of my life is full of sunshine and happiness. But it’s not. In my almost 30 years of life, I have discovered that I am the one who controls my happiness, or the lack of it. Let’s just say that I was allowing outward factors to determine my state…

  • Insights from the Wilderness

    Jasmine July 30, 2021

    For the past week I’ve been on a staycation of sorts. Basically, I’ve been dog/house sitting away from home and it’s been pretty good. During said staycation I’ve had quite a bit of time to myself. The introvert in me loves it although I’ve discovered that I’m an ambivert. But that’s beside the point. In my quiet time I had a lot of time to think to which I was…

  • Encouragement For Your Journey

    Jasmine April 16, 2021

    As a planner, I’ve wanted to know God’s entire plan for my life so that I’d be prepared or so that I can plan accordingly. But there’s no faith required for that. It’d be me getting ahead of God instead of being with Him, and I’d never want to be without Him. Of course, He will never leave nor forsake you and I, that I know for sure. But my…

  • What are you looking for?!

    Jasmine March 15, 2019

    This was my first encounter with pride—my first encounter that I became aware of at least. I didn’t see it in the moment but it didn’t take long for me to be humbled. Fast forward to weeks ahead, I was over this position. At some point, I wanted nothing to do with that person nor anyone and anything associated with the position. I never had peace to leave but I…

  • God Sees You

    Jasmine February 19, 2018

    [rt_reading_time label=”Reading Time:” postfix=”minutes” postfix_singular=”minute”]“God, You see me and You know me yet You love me. And because You love me You’re not only with me but You’re for me.” Have you ever felt like you weren’t noticed or like your efforts to be seen or heard were just not effective? Maybe you’ve had times where you felt alone and like no one cared. I have. It’s easy to get…

  • The Gift of Silence

    Jasmine December 27, 2017

    [rt_reading_time label=”Reading Time:” postfix=”minutes” postfix_singular=”minute”] Growing up I loved being by myself. I was somewhat shy and I was also content with what was in front of me; journals, Barbie’s, dolls, coloring books and all a kid could ever ask for. Not much changed when I reached my teen years, I found a love for reading and writing and nothing else really mattered. I was social, don’t get me wrong,…

  • The Truth About God (Part 2)

    Jasmine October 20, 2017

    The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). – John 10:10 (AMPC) In John 10, Jesus is speaking and in verse 10 He gives the job description of Himself and the job description of the enemy. From there we learn that the thief’s “job” or goal is…

  • The Truth About God

    Jasmine October 17, 2017

    And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable) and He approved it.  – Genesis 1 (AMPC)   Here’s something to think about: in the beginning of time, all that God created was good and was only approved after He saw that it was good. That’s amazing, right? God doesn’t make mistakes—He never has and He never will. In the Christian community, we know that God is good—we say it,…
