Even When We Are Faithless, He is Faithful

I'm Not Perfect but I walk in the footsteps of the one who is.

Even When We Are Faithless, He is Faithful
Unfailing Love

Being new believers, we have many questions and many curiosities. Don’t be discouraged but be encouraged by these questions. These questions and curiosities present the hunger and eagerness to build a relationship with God. It is a transition, a process and a relationship that must be continuously built.

Many people are going through transitions in life, even at this very moment. Every transition is like taking a new path on the highway. On that pathway, you may not be able to see clearly, know what kinds of twists and turns there will be, or what unpredictable storm is headed your way. With a strong trust in God, you will be led to shelter when the storm arises.

Trust in God like you trust the car you drive in to take you to your destination.

Trust in God like you trust the chair you sit in to support you.

Trust in His unfailing love and you will not worry about being blind on the road because you will be guided by his eyes and do not worry about how many curves there are in the road for He will take the wheel and guide you.

The situations we are put in as new believers are tests to our faith and lessons for our souls to learn from. The amazing thing about God is that “if we are faithless, he remains faithful” (2 Timothy 2:13). Be cautious not to take this as a light piece of scripture. This scripture doesn’t follow this phrase: it is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.” This scripture follows the truth that says we are sinners and this flesh we live in is nowhere near perfect but when we believe in the Gospel, we are forgiven and he does not give up on us even when we are uncertain.

“You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better that we deserve. This is God's gift to you, and you have done nothing on your own.” (Ephesians 2:8)


Know that you are forgiven by the King of all Kings and use that as your encouragement to walk by your faith and remain faithful to him as he remains faithful to us. Our flesh needs food in order to grow and our spirits need God in order to continue this walk in faith. Nourish the body and feed the soul. Stay hungry for the Lord.

“What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

“I write this to you who believe in the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13)

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
