What is ADITL-WTL? ADITL-WTL is something we need to all consider because we are either currently doing it, or if we are not yet doing so, we need to start. A Day in The Life – With the Lord. Why do we need ADITL-WTL? Some may say, “God is always with us, why do we need to think about Him being in our day?” That is a good question, and many have thought it.

When we start to serve Christ, we sometimes feel the want to do all the things for the Kingdom of God. Serving, encouraging others, and devoting our time to help in any way that we can are just a few examples. We want to share the love that God gave us with the world. The bible even tells us to share the good news with others. 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Mark 16:15 In our haste to do good, we become tired, overwhelmed, or apathetic. Most, if not all, humans need help in some way, shape, or form. There…

As followers of Christ, we have a goal to tell the world about Jesus and give glory to God in all things. Take a moment to remember the joy you felt when you were a new believer. How different is your current life from your old life? There is freedom, love, and forgiveness that you only received through Jesus. Now, imagine people in your life who feel the pain and suffering that you felt before knowing about Jesus. Does that hurt your heart? It hurts my heart to think that someone I love cannot see the light in their darkness. We need to be that light and we need to…

Life comes with surprises and with very few guarantees. There is one guarantee, however, that each person can count on. Death will happen to each of us and to our loved ones. In these instances, grief is inevitable. Some people choose to ignore the grieving process, but it will just be buried, it does not actually go away. There are ways to manage grief, before and after a person passes away. How to manage grief before death: One of the simplest regrets that occur after someone has passed away is that people wish that forgiveness had taken place, and that there was more time to fix the broken relationships.

The mountain and the valley are common phrases heard among Christians that refer to the high and low points in life. There is not one set direction that you go in. You do not start life in the valley with the goal of getting to the mountain and that is where you stay forever. The goal is to meet God wherever you are on your journey. The mountain and the valley both come and go several times throughout a person’s life. How you react when you are at each is up to you. The Behavior at The Mountain: The mountain may look different for everybody. When I first heard of…

I am not talking about the code names boomer, millennial, or gen z. I am referring to which generation you are in your family now that you are saved by Christ. Generational Follower or Generational Leader In the Old Testament, the actions of one person in your family would affect the generations after. 8 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents…

With how fast-paced the world is, with its many anxiety-inducing scenarios, life can quickly go from peaceful to overwhelming. As Christ-followers, how do we not go the way of the world and headfirst into fear? I have a sure method of how to find peace. Are you ready for it? Fix your eyes on Jesus. “And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such…

It is necessary to teach people how to speak with you. The type of language another person uses towards you, their body language, and their tone matters when it comes to having an effective conversation. How do you speak with God? How does God ask you to speak to Him? I remember when I first started talking with God after I turned to Him for help. I was livid. He had become the blame of every issue I had. He did not deserve it, but He still listened. He listened to every hurt, minor inconvenience, and happy moment. Even when my brain was screaming so loud that I could not…

How we see God is more important than how we see ourselves. We can think of ourselves as strong, weak, smart, or insignificant at different points in our lives but God is the same through each of those feelings. God is capable of all good things and has many wonderful aspects. Unfortunately, while I was growing up, I only knew of one aspect. Revelation God. If you have never heard of this phrase, it is basically summing God up to the time that Jesus is coming back. That sounds amazing, right? It was terrifying. There was not one good thing that I could name about God. I had to be…

He does not need me. Maybe if I were younger. If I did not make so many mistakes. He could just use someone else to do what He needs done. These thoughts will come and go. That is when you rebuke the devil, praise God, and keep going about your day. Sounds easy enough, right? I did not start to have a relationship with God until I was 27 years old. I felt all the love in the world when I decided to dedicate my life to serving God. Until the thoughts came. It would happen early in the morning or when I sat alone. Seemingly innocent thoughts, like maybe..…
