As I’ve learned more and journeyed farther this summer, not only have I gotten freer, but I’ve started paying attention to the things I say. Over and over, it seems I don’t speak in a way that is uplifting and positive. So, I’ve starting actually thinking a little bit more before I speak. Okay, so…
These are thoughts in light of the current state of affairs in life. It was part of a longer post, but the beginning of the post is repetitive, so I cut it. In the Wilds It’s a chance to truly walk by faith. What else can I do? Out in this wilderness there isn’t any…
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. It’s funny how a song sticks with me. This one is a verse and a song and this morning it’s running…
Because I get so rushed in the morning, it’s sometimes hard to write the way I’d like to. But, this song was in my head and so I’m posting the lyrics here. I think this is one of my favorite songs, especially the chorus. It’s by BarlowGirl. I Believe In Love How long will my…
Mark 9:22b-24 … But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” And Jesus said to him, ” ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, ”I do believe; help my unbelief.” I am so much like this boy’s father. I believe in my mind. I know all things are possible. However, translating my head knowledge into action is…
God is always faithful. He is. Even when we don’t see it, He is. (aside: for an interesting article on the difference between Greek seeing and Hebrew hearing, read this.) I’m not always the best example of remembering this, but I was reading an update from a woman who was miraculously healed, recently moved, and…
Numbers 19:6: “And the priest shall take cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn, and throw them into the fire burning the heifer. And I was curious what the scarlet yarn was, probably from my experiences with Campus Crusade growing up and The Scarlet Thread. So I began to hunt. I check the Hebrew, but it…
Some days I feel like that’s so true. No matter what I do to make something turn out the way I hope it will, ultimately my plans are foiled. It seems like lately I’ve been learning that no matter how hard I try, it’s not enough. Or at least it doesn’t seem to be enough….
Abraham. We think of him as the “Father of Faith”. A righteous man. A man after God’s heart. A man to whom was promised a nation. A father who trusted God so completely that he was willing to sacrifice his son. Thinking of Abraham this way is kind of dangerous. It paints a picture of…
1. God is such and AMAZING provider! Yesterday He blessed our family with a surprise gift from people we have never even met before (well, one we met a long time ago)! It is yet another reminder that He is faithful, reliable, and TRUE! David says he will proclaim God’s goodness, and that’s what I’m…
