Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. To me, this is the same as developing a friendship with someone in your class room. Over time you talk to them, spend time with them, and get to know them. Sure, we cannot see God. And you may feel silly talking out loud….
John 8:32.The Truth Shall Set you Free. As you learn more about Jesus, talk to him. You will be building a relationship with him.

Do you live near a wooded area, orchard or prairie? Next time that you take a walk, collect any interesting pieces of bark, wood or dried flowers. You can easily make an interesting piece of art for your home or for the woods. These items also sell well on eBay or Etsy if there is…
Be fierce. Be a friend and protector of all things smaller than you. Do you know what it means to ‘look out for’ someone? You look out for a younger brother or sister when you go places; keeping an eye on them so that they don’t get lost or hurt. You watch them. You are…
It’s normal to feel anxiety, frustration or fear, but you may be able to control it. When you feel that your peace is gone, say a simple prayer. “The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace.” — Psalm 29:11 Dear Lord, I cannot do anything without you. I need…
The way that we look is not that important. There is so much emphasis on hair in our country it’s almost an obsession. Don’t worry about your hair or the way that you look. Do the best that you can. You may have good hair days, and bad hair days. You may not even have…

Scripture says that Jesus is Truth. If we know him, we know the truth, and we are free from spiritual bondage, condemnation and sin. This scripture has extra meaning to me. It means, God loves me, Jesus loves me, and they will take care of me. If you wake up every day and keep this…
2 Timothy 1:7 Tells us that God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Power is in your spirit. Use it. If you don’t feel it, create the feeling. Say these things in your mind, or out loud: I am strong, in the Lord. I am loved by…
