In the last blog I brought up a few tough questions, one in particular I have really wrestled with over the last several months. If God is goodAnd justAnd hates sinAnd grieves for our sufferingThen why do we suffer? The devil isn’t having to work super hard to keep my doubts alive these days. I... Continue Reading →
Everyone knows that in most grieving, there is a season of anger. There’s always been one for me. It comes when I begin to wrestle with tough questions about God and life. Why so much suffering? Why doesn’t He stop it, in His sovereignty? How can He listen to my cry without taking action if... Continue Reading →
Every once in awhile I like to write a post of music recommendations. Joni Eareckson Tada has said, “Singing is a perspective changer.” It definitely is! That’s all the more reason why we should choose what we listen to with great care. What fills our minds fills our hearts and fuels are actions… so choose... Continue Reading →
Do you ever feel like you’ve run out of words? I’m sorry my blogging has been scant these last couple months. But God has been working in my heart, and I hope to share those lessons with you all very soon. In the meantime, here are some wonderfully sweet prayers from the Psalms, in case... Continue Reading →
I try not to compare my story to other people’s, because I know that doesn’t lead to a heart of contentment. Sometimes though, it feels like I can’t help it.

Matthew 5:2-12 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for... Continue Reading →
“Amazing grace - How sweet the sound! That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found; was blind but now I see.” My mother always said she felt God picked her kids’ names. Her and my dad prayed about each one, and named us accordingly. Throughout our lives, she’s seen... Continue Reading →
Sometimes worthless questions pop into my head: “Would I have picked to have the struggles I do? Is struggling worth the lessons I’m learning?” Then I think: “It doesn’t really matter because life is what it is.” And then I remind myself God knows best. One day while working on a book, I wrote this... Continue Reading →
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of... Continue Reading →
