“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.Continue reading “Waiting…”

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 outContinue reading “This Little Light of Mine…”

I Am Not Alone…
“He told them, ‘My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.” He went on a little farther and fell to the ground.

Unanswered Prayer…
Sometimes I wrestle with unanswered prayer. I fear You won’t give me what I pray for. I know in my head that You only give what is good and perfect. It’s just that when You don’t provide an answer right away, or at least an obvious one I can see, it feels like You don’tContinue reading “Unanswered Prayer…”
My Reality…

But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)” Romans 8:24 & 25. When I ask myself the question: “What do I have the most difficultyContinue reading “My Reality…”

He was whipped so we could be healed.” Isaiah 53:5 Lord, I thank you for choosing to do this for us – for me. It is a monumental decision that You made because it wasContinue reading “Heaviness or Praise???”
The Restorer of Souls…
“They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it, unless I see the nail wounds in His hands, put my fingers into them, and placed my hand into the wound in His side.” John 20:25. I’m wondering if “doubting” Thomas has actually been given a bad rap all theseContinue reading “The Restorer of Souls…”
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 wholeContinue reading “My Hope…”
