by Michaela Popielski Hi guys, I have an announcement. Due to my schedule, I will not be able to write for a little bit. Between, school, work, and church duties, its been hectic and I am really down to the wire on the article. So, with that sort-of-depressing note, I was going over ideas for […]

Stepping Stones: A Monthly Devotional

by Michaela Popielski Well, when you read this it will officially be 2013! I hope 2012 was a good year for everyone. It was good for me. God has showed me his faithfulness in so many ways. Well, this article I think will be on the fear of God. When we think of fear, most […]

Stepping Stones: A Monthly Devotional

by Michaela Popielski Well I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Turkey pumpkin pie, stuffing and the infamous food coma. Always a blast. For this article I was pondering ideas when a person in our church spoke on character. I knew what character was, I just wasn’t paying attention to how I was perceived to […]

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski Hello guys. I know I say this every article, but I can not believe it’s another month. So crazy. I have to say I didn’t have a set plan for a subject in this month devotional. So I went free lance on this one. one Sunday, or a couple […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski I can’t believe we are 9/12ths through with the year. Crazy right? On a different note, for this month’s article, I didn’t really have any inspiration other than God’s love for us. I know this is talked about a lot but the other day I saw a documentary about […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski Hey everyone! I can’t believe August is over. Most of if not all of you have probably started school. Well, I wish you luck. On to the devotional. I think this month I will talk about fasting. Fasting, as most if not all of us know is not eating […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski Hello guys! Sorry I didn’t write last month. I was on a mission trip and in all the craziness forgot to finish my article. But I am finishing it this month. The subject this month is I think going to be about bitterness. Bitterness is horrible and kind of […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski Hey everyone. I hope May was a good month for everyone. It was crazy for me. But onto June. I got the idea for this month’s devotional from two sources. One was a lesson from a friend’s youth group and the second was Guitar Hero. How these two go […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski Hey guys. So for this devotional I think I will talk a bit on creation. Creation is probably one of the first things we learn in Sunday school along with Jesus is good as well as the son of God. But creation I think has a bit more to […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. So, for this month’s devotion, I didn’t quite know what to write about so I thought I’ll go free hand with this one so to speak. One thing that I’ve been thinking about is music and how it affects our lives, moods and over all view of life. This […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi! Well, this month I had a ton of trouble trying to find a topic and I realized one right before I started typing this. Rituals. Almost everywhere, everyone and everything has some kind of ritual. Even if they don’t realize it. Get up, brush teeth, breakfast, chores, school. […]

Guess What, You Were Adopted!

Yes, you read right. If you have accepted Christ into you heart, you have been adopted by the King of Heaven. As God’s sons and daughters you now posses the keys to an entire kingdom. Just consider the fact that anything you want you can have, states John 15:7: “But if you remain in me […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi everyone. I hope you guys had an awesome holiday season. Over the holidays I went with my youth group to IHOP in Kansas City Missouri and it was amazing. The topic was ‘Jesus our magnificent obsession’. I was mulling over some ideas for a topic for the devotion […]

A CHRIST Led Life

  What is living your life for Christ really about? This is a question that frequently comes to mind for me. An inquiry that I know most likely have more than one answer. But after asking for counsel from God and a few of my spiritual leaders I found out that living a Christ led […]

For Such a Time as This

Yesterday I pondered on this sentence (the title of this column) as I prayed for the salvation of three of my supermarket colleagues. What if God sent me to this job just so three of my fellow co-workers could get saved? I am not saying that I am here only for that purpose, but asking rather. This question was inquired in the Bible […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hey everyone. I hope you enjoyed the November devotional. If any of it seemed too long I’m sorry. Also I saw some mistakes in the last devotional. I must have skipped some keys. On a better note though, it’s almost time for Christmas! Cookies, family, gifts, traveling, giving, receiving, […]

True Love

The Bible describes the true meaning of love in the thirteenth chapter of 1st Corinthians. The Bible was clear in the verse 1 John 8:4 NIV  that “…God is love” and we can use Jesus as our perfect example of how we should be here on earth. Verses 4-7 of the Love chapter states, “Love is patient, love is […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hey everyone. Well, its that time of year again. At least by the time you read this it will be. Right now its the middle of October. But anyway, once again its time for the usual practice of planning Thanksgiving meals, what you want to give/get for Christmas and […]

Living a Pure Life Before God and Man

Millie’s Column. For this column, I wanted to write about living a pure life before God and man. David was an honorable and holy man that loved God. In fact, in Psalms 17:8 David asks God to keep him as the apple of HIS eye. So in deciding, I thought who better to teach about […]

Stepping Stones

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi guys. So I’ve been thinking of something to use as a theme for this month’s devotional and I had some ideas but I think this time instead of a “theme” I’m going to use verses that I feel are important to our everyday lives. So chances are you […]

A Look at the Life of David

Millie’s Column I wanted us for this column to take a deeper look at Psalm chapter 1. David states in verse 1: “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.” Wow! It is a joy not to follow the advice […]

A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi guys! I hope you liked my first devotional. If it seemed not so put together I’m sorry. It was my first and I’m getting better at planning. On a different note, this month’s devotion will be on condemnation. Condemnation means: Reject, accuse, blame, smear, object. We’ve all felt […]
