“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.

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.

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 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.
