Have you ever had a moment in your life where you felt so frustrated and discouraged? Well, I had one of those moments the other day. I was going through a situation where I wanted to quit and throw in the towel. So I prayed to God about it and he showed me what to do immediately. After I finished praying I began to read my devotional for the day and the topic was Persevere. Perseverance is the act of continuing to do something even though the task is difficult and involves obstacles. What I learned from that devotional is trusting God plays a big part in our ability to persevere. You must have faith...
The other day my mind started to wander. I started to think about my past mistakes and the people who hurt me in my past. I have no idea why my mind went there but it did. After so many thoughts that played in my mind, I began to cry. I had to take a step back and ask myself, why am I dwelling in the past? I begin to pray about it. I asked God to help me to forgive the people that hurt me in my past and to let it go. I had to remind myself to focus on today and not my past mistakes. We all have made mistakes and you can’t beat yourself...
As I sit on my bed reading the Bible I am amazed at all of the amazing stories. I love how the Bible teaches us how to live a more Godly life. It’s like instructions and guidance all in one book. I recently just read the book of Galatians and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book in the Bible reminded me of how to live more Christlike.

Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.” I was reminded to let the...
One day I was thinking about the words…Faith and Hope. So I began to ask myself “what is the difference between faith and hope?” In a previous blog I wrote, biblically speaking faith is the “assurance of things hoped for; the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1) Hope on the other hand is the same assurance but in the future. Hebrews 6:11 says “Our great desire is that you will keep loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true.” Unfortunately for some of us including myself have forgotten at some point that true hope is in God. We have often used hope as wishful...
Hello everyone and welcome to my first blog post. I am so excited you are here with me!! My name is Jaime Kelley and I would love for you to join me on my journey in having Unshakeable Faith in the Almighty God. Since this is my first post I thought it would be a great idea to start with the meaning of faith. The dictionary says the meaning of faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something. I also looked up the spiritual meaning of faith, the Bible teaches us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). ...
