Do Old People Really Know What They Are Talking About?

By
March 14, 2019

How many of us have heard “respect your elders… older people are wiser?” What about the nursery rhyme “The Wise Old Owl?” Question… was the owl wise because he was old? Is that what qualified him to be called wise? What’s up with this whole older is wiser thing anyways? Is there a message here that we should be applying to our everyday lives? Is the answer to let go and depend on God?Continue reading

How to Represent Your Faith at Your 9-5

By
February 14, 2019

In the work place, there are many different people, with many different personalities and many different beliefs/opinions. As a Christian, I am to be set apart from the rest of the world. You have been set apart as holy to the Lord your God, and he has chosen you from all the nations of the earth to be his own special treasure Deuteronomy 14:2. I am in this world but shouldn’t be like it. I don’t want to fit in, I’m meant to stand out and represent Christ!Continue reading

Can’t Hear Over the Tantrum

By
October 8, 2018

I spent most of my day whining and complaining to God about how frustrated I was. I didn’t know what I was doing and didn’t want to do what I believe he told me to do (write/illustrate a children’s book). The last time I had drawn was in high school which was about 13 years ago. It’s been about 2 years since I believe he told me to do this and I still haven’t finished yet. I am always making up an excuse not to work on it honestly, I just feel clueless and overwhelmed so I procrastinate. I finally wrote the story almost a year ago, but boy am I dragging with the illustration part! I don’t know what I’m doing, and it seems like a lot of work. I feel scared, the sketches look ugly to me and I don’t know my style of drawing… these are all my thoughts, feelings and complaints to God. I’ve tried to pray and ask God for peace and guidance, after all I believe He is the one who told me to do it. It definitely wasn’t my idea to deal with this pressure while still working as a full-time nurse overnight and being a mom. What I needed was to shut up to hear from God!Continue reading

Make the Faith Move

By
October 6, 2018

 

Very recently an opportunity came about in my life. Something I’ve been waiting for but not quite ready for. Something that I know I should have been preparing for, but I’ve just been procrastinating. Quite frankly I think its cause it’s scary, its unknown and its really hard work! I decided to sit with God and pray about whether it was the right time to make this move or not. As I was spending time with him I believe the Holy Spirit told me “you have to live this faith thing out Larissa! How can you minister to others, especially encouraging the youth to not fear if you aren’t living it out yourself every day and taking chances yourself?” I had to be reminded once again that it is not all about me! I have to be brave and let my life be an example of how God can use an ordinary person for his glory when he has called them to do something. I had to walk by faith!Continue reading
