When life gets heavy do you have people to turn to, to help carry the weight. Sometimes we need someone to carry us to Jesus when we can't.

We accumulate these wounds, pain and hurts that we carry around even as life keeps moving. What would life look like if we took the time to slow down and heal so we don't pass it on in the future. The place to start is being honest about these things so that healing can begin.

Everything is fighting for our attention in our world today. Distractions pull us away from this relationship but what would life look like if we chose to make a priority to sit at the feet of Jesus?

Prayer is an essential part of our relationship with God. We can often complicate it and God is just asking for us to just be there as simply and honestly as we can manage.

One question we have to ask ourselves is, "Can people tell I have been with Jesus or am I just blending in with everyone else?" Peter shows us what happens when we blend in but we know that we can change that.

Jesus told us there will be people that look like they are doing all the right things but come judgment day he will say "I Never Knew You." That is a scary verse but there is hope because there is a way to know and be sure he won't say that to us.

We talk a lot about sin that we know effects our lives but don't often spend time talking about the "little sins." Disobedience is knowing/hearing what God wants us to do and choosing not to do it. When we choose to disobey we are missing out on what God wants from us and what he could do in our lives.

We talk a lot about sin that we know effects our lives but don't often spend time talking about the "little sins." Judging Others doesn't seem like a big deal but can end up counting people out without knowing who they truly are.

We talk a lot about sin that we know effects our lives but don't often spend time talking about the "little sins." Bitterness can create a root system in our hearts that contaminates all parts of our lives and produces fruit of the flesh rather than of the spirit.

We often talk about sin that we know effects our lives but we often don't spend time talking about the "little sins." Gossip seems innocent and we like it but the reality is it can have devastating effects.

We talk a lot about sin that we know effects are lives but don't often spend time talking about the "little sins." Lying whether big or small harms us and God hates what harms us. Little things can have a Big Effect.

Anxiety is something most of us deal with. The Bible has something to say about our anxiety and we just need to know, its all about taking one step at a time.

We hold onto what people say about us when they didn't create us. The best step we can take is go to the wood shop and spend time with the Woodcarver who knows you, created you and wants to speak who we are in his eyes, Special.

What if it was possible to walk around and not be affected by the gray dots and gold stars. If we learn to spend time everyday with our creator, truly understanding how he sees us and believe him we will walk around confident in who God says we are not people.

One of the central things we are all trying to figure out is who we are. Gray dots and Gold stars seem silly but if we believe in them too much we are left with a false identity.

A curb is an indicator to let you know that you are getting close to a space that you shouldn't go. We have curbs or bumpers when it comes to our emotions to help keep them in check so we don't always impulsively act on how we feel.

I don't feel like it or I feel like giving up are normal emotions to experience. What would it look like for us to push through those emotions so that even when we don't feel like it we do what honors God.

Feelings are real but aren't always reliable. We have to begin to take a step back and ask why are we feeling what we are feeling.

Have you ever asked yourself how dateable am I? We have to first look inward and build a meaningful connection to God so that we can have a meaningful connection with others.

Singleness brings a lot of questions. Have you ever asked yourself why am I single? Take this season to prepare so when a relationship comes you put in the work.

Its hard to end up happy and married if we don't start single and secure. We have to begin to see our worth by believing and living how God sees us.

The Hall closet may be a small space but it is also a place that we put the personal sins/struggles we don't want anyone to know about. Are you willing to give Jesus the key to unlock the door and clean out your hall closet?

The Bedroom is a room that can be awkward to talk about. The reality is God design us to engage in that level of intimacy within certain parameters, marriage. Going outside of that is losing how it was designed yet still leaves room for the forgiveness if we fall.

Who you have around you will impact you. We need to make sure that our Rec Room is a room that brings God glory through our friends and what we do for fun.

Workroom isn't often a place we talk about but it is a critical room in our house. The workroom is all about being available to use your gifts and talents to serve the kingdom and answer the call God has put on your life.
