Accepting how God made YOU


Sometimes accepting how God made you, and playing the comparison game can be hard. It’s times like this, and topics like this, that I like to let scripture do the talking. When you learn to trust in Him and His Word and apply it in your life, you will gain the confidence and courage that overcomes any feelings of insecurity, I promise.

“Looks aren’t everything. Don’t be impressed with his looks and stature… God judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; God looks into the heart” Samuel 16:7

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:13-14

“Don’t depend on things like fancy hairdos or gold jewelry or expensive clothes to make you beautiful. Be beautiful in your heart by being gentle and quiet. This kind of beauty will last, and God considers it very special” 1 Peter 3:3-4

“Beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.” Proverbs 31:30

“For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.” 1 Timothy 2:10

“The glory of the young is their strength; the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the old.” Proverbs 20:29

Biblical Allusions in e. e. Cumming’s Poetry

           Edward Estlin Cummings, or better known as E.E. Cummings, was a 20th-century artist most known for his innovations in style and structure to his poetry. [1] His father was a pastor and professor so from a very early age, Cummings and his sister, Elizabeth, were taught to love the Lord. [2] Through biblical allusions, and having God as a central idea to his poems to begin with, readers can see this love and knowledge about God and His word, come throughout Cumming’s poetry as it continues to spread the message of the gospel.             In poems such as “if there are any heaven my mother will (all by herself) have,” “i am a little church (no great cathedral),” “i thank You God for this most amazing,” and “when god decided to invent,” all have Christ, or a direct aspect about Christ, as the central idea to the poem. Something that is worth noting about the style of Cumming’s poetry is the use of capitalization. He doesn’t follow the typical capitalization rules especially

Is Suffering a Result of Sin?

“Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” Peter said to

Biblical Allusions in Robert Frost’s Poetry

          Robert Lee Frost claimed to be an atheist. [1] However, if a reader were to look closely at his work, there are many allusions to the Bible and Christianity throughout the timeline of his poetry. If someone is truly an atheist, they do not believe God exists. If someone is agnostic, they do not know if God exists. [2] For Robert Frost to truly not believe in God, he sure does mention him frequently and alludes to someone that supposedly, doesn’t exist. It leads a person to question why? Is this a way of expressing Frost’s questioning of the faith? While living from 1874-1963 was Frost simply trying to attract a certain audience for the time period? [3] Or is it merely background knowledge coming to light in his work? There is no way of knowing for sure, but let’s start by taking a deeper look, into the biblical allusions in Robert Frost’s poetry.             Perhaps the most obvious example of biblical allusions in Robert Frost’s work is in “Never Again Would Birds’ Son
