Joy… Against All Odds
Reality LA | Pastor Tim Chaddick
We all want joy, but the odds of attaining it and keeping it seem to be slim. Pastor Tim Chaddick teaches from Ecclesiastes 9, which urges us to keep our joy rooted in reality rather than superficiality.

It’s one thing to seem like Ive never been happier on the outside and then to be hurting, a lot on the inside. Keep your eyes on God, and do not fall in to saddness.
For God has said:
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand”. -Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
Lent
Lent is in two days and I have been thinking about what I should give up, and almost try to remove from my life.
I am not going to do anything food related, for two reasons:
1) It’s not a great enough sacrifice.
2) The way I eat these days (Only fruits, vegtables and meat) I could die eliminating anything more.
So what can I remove from my life, to help me reflect more on God and be...

Watch out! Jesus spoke out forcefully about those who entice others to get involved with Satan’s pleasures. If anyone is reading this from Hollywood, please take note!

I feel like I am completely changing courses here. Turns out what I thought I wanted is no good for me, and the only thing I want to do these days is eat sleep and breath God. I’m re-thinking my value system and relying on God to bring me wisdom on what’s actually valuable. I am on a search for the guy God has made for me… And someone in my opinion that is so consumed with the...

“Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the...
Darling Magazine →
FINALLY, a magazine that builds women up in love and is restoring true femininity. I cant say enough how much I do not care for the fashion related magazines out there. They promote stereotypes, sex out of marriage, negative body image (with underweight models on the cover) and promote an unrealistic view of life and what we ought to have and so much more.
So this magazine called Darling...
Where is the Love?

I was just reading the amazing Sea Without a Shore, by Shaykh Nuh Ha Mim Keller.
It had a small passage that was very simple, yet poignant. It got me thinking and questioning.
I once asked Sheikh Abd-al-Rahman why God created the universe when He was already perfect in Himself without need of anything, he answered simply…
“That there might be love.”
So I ask simply -...

People are so rude at rush hour! When I was driving home on the 73, someone flipped me off… for going the speed limit! They were tailgating me for 5 minutes, and I wasn’t going to go any faster than 75 (I don’t speed anymore), and then all of a sudden I see the car that was behind me swing into another lane and when I turned my head to see who the driver was, the guy flipped me...

Although I have learnt in the past few days that Love is truely the greatest thing that you can give and have in life, I also believe it is the greatest thing you can fight for. There is a man out there, that I love dearly, and although we are broken up right now… I am prepared to fight for him, and taking the advice of a close friend, anything worth having is worth working hard for.. I know...
Anything worth having, is worth working hard for.
