The leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and more fills the fridge. Pies and cookies line the buffet table ready to be eaten as soon as our stomachs can hold another bit of food. Bodies of friends lay asleep in the living room buried under blankets, pillows, and other remnants of last night’s sleepover. … Continue reading Unable To Count That High

Crossroads CONNECT – Fighting Satan’s Lies
Last week at Crossroads CONNECT (First Trinity's Thursday Night Activity for High School Students) we talked about the lies Satan tells us. After playing a game of Jenga we connected the game with our lives. The lies Satan tells us and the things he tempts us to do don't seem like such a big deal... kind… Continue reading Crossroads CONNECT – Fighting Satan’s Lies
When I Forget God’s Love.
This part of a blog post by Matt McGill made me stop and think today: When I forget God’s love, my guilt lingers. When I forget God’s love, my joy is fleeting. When I forget God’s love, my compassion shrinks. When I forget God’s love, my pain grows. When I forget God’s love, my purpose… Continue reading When I Forget God’s Love.
31 Days of Hope – Day 31
Wow. Can it really be day 31? Sure enough … it is. One month ago I set out on a journey to write… to share my heart… to, prayerfully, share hope. I have absolutely LOVED focusing on such a crucial element of life so intensely for a month straight. I’m not exactly sure how… Continue reading 31 Days of Hope – Day 31
Hope {Day 30} – Remember Me
So, I just finished reading, Red, the second in Ted Dekker’s Circle Series. These are very interesting books and to be honest I would have NEVER probably picked them up to read on my own, but after the recommendation from many people, I’m reading them. I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised. Still at times not… Continue reading Hope {Day 30} – Remember Me
Hope {day 29} – “Were” … a Hopeful word?
So, I was getting ready to write my blog post for today… Day 29. But then I read the blog post of a friend and decided that instead of writing today, I’d link to his post. While the original topic was about his class yesterday, he had some interesting thoughts about some scripture that may… Continue reading Hope {day 29} – “Were” … a Hopeful word?

Hope {Day 27} – WHY Hope?
For 27 days we’ve been talking about hope and while reasons to hope have been indirectly mentioned, I thought it would be good to see how the Bible answers the question: WHY HOPE?!? In no particular order, here are some things I found: When we find our hope in God, we won’t find ourselves… Continue reading Hope {Day 27} – WHY Hope?
Hope {Day 26} – Hope When You Just Don’t Understand
Why him? Why her? Why me? Why now? I just don’t get it, God! I don’t understand I’m sure we’ve all had moments where we just desperately LONG to understand God’s reasoning behind a situation. I know I have. Like when a kid in my youth group back home was killed in a car… Continue reading Hope {Day 26} – Hope When You Just Don’t Understand

Well we did it! We survived the first “road trip” planned by Bekah. :) As promised yesterday, I wanted to share a little bit about my experience this weekend at Acquire the Fire in Cleveland, OH with 16 teens and 2 other awesome adult leaders. The theme this year for this conference was Mend the… Continue reading Collision: Mend the Broken
