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?

I never thought I’d be back in the same painful boat. After we finally had a healthy baby, I honestly believed the trial of miscarriages was over.

Over the last almost eight years of trying to grow our family, God has impressed many lessons upon my heart. One recurring theme is that Christ is the believer’s treasure. More than anything or anyone else, knowing Christ should be His children’s deepest desire. There have been seasons in my life when Christ’s friendship was... Continue Reading →

You know the seasons of life where you’re waiting on God and you balance between peace and worry? Some days it’s hard to tell our hearts what to believe.

I feel like I have spent a good part of my Christian life waiting on God. That’s not a bad thing, but it can be a hard thing.
