Waiting…

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalm 27:14 Waiting for You to act, to speak, to provide, to heal, is the most courageous thing I can do. In my fear, I find it so much easier to go ahead and do something, anything, — besides wait.

“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 Dear Jesus, You created me to be like You and I want to love just like You. My whole purpose in this life is to be a reflection of Your love. There are so many ways to show

This Little Light of Mine…

“You are the light of the world–like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out

Discovering What Is True…

“No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.”‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬ This verse is huge to me because it validates what I’ve recently discovered: My thoughts about Your thoughts must come from Your Spirit inside me. Not from other people.

Heaviness or Praise???

My Hope…

“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1. I don’t want to hope for things from my relationships anymore. It hurts when I put my hope in people, because it seems like I usually set myself up for disappointment. I’ve spent my whole
