Questions. They surround us everyday. Some arise over trivial things that really don’t matter much. Others pound at the door of our hearts begging for answers. Questions like “What now?” when one loses his job. Questions like “How long?” when a loved one hears that dreaded “C” word, “Cancer”. Questions like “WHY?!?” when a… Continue reading Questions

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
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 22} – A Prayer of Hope for Haiti
Gracious God, We bring before you the people of Haiti and pray that you would provide HOPE. In a country that has needed so much help for so long, we continue to see devastation after devastation… an earthquake, the cholera outbreak, and now a hurricane on it’s way and those are only the “big” things. … Continue reading Hope {Day 22} – A Prayer of Hope for Haiti
Hope {Day 21} – How to Hand out Hope
Sometimes I look around me and wonder if Christians really could have an impact on this world anymore. It can be discouraging at times to look around and see our friends, our family members, our country, our world drifting farther and farther away from the Truth revealed to us in God’s Word. BUT we don’t… Continue reading Hope {Day 21} – How to Hand out Hope
Hope {Day 20} – Long Term Hope
This morning, as I read in Luke, I came upon this story: On a Sabbath, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called… Continue reading Hope {Day 20} – Long Term Hope
Hope {Day 19} – Made New
I’ve heard the stories again and again. Each one so distinct and unique, yet, so similar at the core. Something happened- Many things maybe. Something so horrifying it rarely, if ever, gets any attention in conversation. Yet, it gets all the attention in the heart. Neglect. Rape. Abuse. The death of a loved… Continue reading Hope {Day 19} – Made New
