Michael Myers

By Christina

imageThis one has definitely got to be called,
“Killing Michael Myers.”

In the late 1970s there was a film series that began called, “Halloween.” In these horror films, there was a primary antagonist by the name of Michael Myers who was extremely psychotic and resulted to massive violence. There were numerous killings in the event to seek out revenge on his sister based on situations that took place in their childhood.

The thing is that Michael Myers kept coming back to life! Thus, all the sequels. No matter how many times they tried to kill him, shoot him, hit him, pierce him or run for escape he would always resurrect somehow or someway! Their fighting and defense just wasn’t enough to take out this beast of a man with a vengeance. Always trying to come to the surface. Continue reading

Airplane Mode

By Christina

imageSome days I wake up more tired than other days. I don’t know what’s going on with me but I do know that I’m just so exhausted a lot of times. I have to take the time to go on airplane mode from everything that I could. It is actually very liberating.

I wish I can go on airplane mode more often. I can get so overwhelmed and disoriented that I desperately need that break. I need to have those rest periods for longer but I recognize the responsibilities that I have too.

I am appreciative of the airplane mode feature though. For in those chaotic moments, I can open up my settings and slide to GREEN! I am going green on my screen. This world is so heavily engulfed in the technology of smart phones that we actually become so desensitized to reality in front of us. We exchange what’s “smart” for things that are so foolish.

You Know What It’s Like

By Christina

Since He himself has gone through suffering and testing,
He is able to help us when we are being tested. 
Hebrews 2:18 NLT

It is a common road for us all. Even Jesus was the black sheep, so He knows what it’s like. In Isaiah 53, we read a heavy description of what He faced. As we press through the pages of scripture, we can familiarize ourselves with this and identify such pain, sorrow and grief. We identify ourself through the Word. Not just Him identifying Himself with us, but we can now identify with HIM and grasp that He really knows what it is like to be US! Continue reading

Happy Valentine’s Day

By Christina

imageI didn’t get chocolates because life isn’t like that.

I didn’t get a stuffed animal or any other bear.

I didn’t get a bracelet or some fine jewelry.

I didn’t get a car or something that elaborate.

No candies that are hearts or even silly cards.

But what I did get I planned to do, something that I would enjoy. Something different, I took a chance at, what was definitely not the norm.

I loved it. He loved it. We all loved it.

“Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another.”
Proverbs 27:19
