For Prophet Movie Review: Why Don’t You Believe In Angels?

Last updated on: July 31, 2024 at 4:11 pm By Heather Bixler

I don’t have to convince you that bad things happen to good people or that injustice, sickness, and death exist. You believe in these things because you know they are true; you can see them with your own eyes. It is easier to believe there is evil in this world than to think there is any good. Pain, suffering, and trials easily overshadow the beautiful moments in life and the good that can be found in people and all around... Read more

There is so much depth to the role of being a parent. Lessons learned that you really can’t fully put into words. When I first became a mom, I had no idea what this new lifelong journey would entail.

5 Life-Changing Stories Of Forgiveness In The Bible

Throughout the Bible, we can see that God values forgiveness. The story of forgiveness starts with God’s forgiveness of humanity and includes our need to forgive others. Recently, during my prayer time, I had to confess the unforgiveness I had in my heart toward others. I had to forgive again for something I had forgiven in the past. But somehow, the emotions were triggered, and I realized my heart towards these people was not filled with compassion but anger... Read more

Inside Out 2 Review: Emotions Are Not The Enemy Of Faith

Last updated on: July 31, 2024 at 7:00 pm By Heather Bixler

0 Comments

Many of us, myself included, were never taught how to regulate our emotions. That’s why I love the Inside Out Movies. Pixar‘s creators take complex subjects like emotions, brain development, and mental health, making them easy to grasp and understand in Inside Out One and Two. While there is still so much for us to learn about the human brain, I think it’s safe to say that no matter what, your emotions will not go away anytime soon—even if you... Read more

How To Trust God And Overcome Doubt: Proverbs 3:5-6 Meaning

Last updated on: June 11, 2024 at 2:21 pm By Heather Bixler

However, trusting God has often brought me peace when I finally decide to make that choice. But why is it so difficult to choose to have faith and not doubt? Many fears and other emotions can surround your inability to “let go and let God.” So, how do you trust God... Read more

“Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” ― Franklin D. Roosevelt The story of Esther is one of my favorite books in the Bible, so much so that I named my cat Esther. I can’t say the Book of Esther has been completely life-changing for me. However, the reminder of Esther’s courage and faith inspires me in my daily walk with God. Taking the time to study the... Read more
