His name is Jesus

His name is Jesus

I want to give all the glory to God. He has pulled me and my family through everything and helped me to become stronger in the process.

So, I honor Him in everything I do- including this blog!

It doesn’t have to be extravagant or elaborate.. it just needs to be for God. I am still figuring out which direction this website will go. I do know I want to help others and share things to help guide people through life the best I can. As a nurse, I am hardwired to help others, so I’m going to build on that and see where we end up! I’m very excited.

There was a song that came through my car the other day called I Still Believe By: Bethel Music & Brian Johnson.

I immediately loved everything about this song. It spoke to me when I needed it the most.

“You’ve never given up on me…. the world may say where is your God? We will say he’s right here with us.”

I Still Believe by Bethel Music & Brian Johnson

Those moments when God speaks to you and gives you the words or direction you need at the exact right time truly gives me chills and puts me in awe. When you think He’s not listening to you, think again. He’s not some piece of wood, stone, etc. like false idols/gods. He is living and all around us wherever we go.

Even when I strayed away from God, he was still in the bleachers cheering me on and waiting for me to come back to him. He IS and ALWAYS will be there for each and every one of us.

He never gives up on us, so don’t give up on Him.

Hope Always. Wait what??

When I was 16 I was dying to get a tattoo. I made up a rule for myself: Pick a tattoo and if I still want it six months down the road then I’ll get it. So that’s what I did.

What did I get? A Bible verse. I thought it was a good, safe choice. I grew up Christian, love God, and my mom probably wouldn’t mind signing off on something like that versus a playboy bunny or the like.

“But I will keep on hoping for your help; I will praise you more and more.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭71:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Hope Always. Psalms 71:14” cute right? Inspirational even.

Fast forward 11 years. I still love my tattoo. The difference is it has more meaning to me now.

When I got the tattoo at 16, I was not going to church, not reading my Bible, and not doing anything to strengthen my faith. I guess you could say I had strayed away from the right path. It almost feels like I was a fraud.

In the past year, I have rejoined the path for Jesus. I am baptized, plugged into a local church, and living my life for God.

Every day I am thankful that I was brought back to live a life honoring God every day. So it only made sense to dig into this verse that I got inked to really understand it.

I encourage you to read Psalms chapters 71. It has some great stuff in it.

God doesn’t hold grudges. He loves all of us endlessly.
