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?

Collision: Mend the Broken
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
Hope {Day 12} – Hope and Contentment… the Best of Friends
Tonight at the wonderful Philippians Short Course Bible Study at First Trinity we were studying chapter 4. It’s a wonderful chapter which I strongly suggest everyone read. (You could even do so right now by clicking here.) Anyway, in summary here are a few things covered in that chapter: vs 4 – Finding JOY in… Continue reading Hope {Day 12} – Hope and Contentment… the Best of Friends
Hope {Day 11} – “The Rest of the Story”
I remember moments sitting in the car as a little girl when mom would suddenly reach over and change the radio dial from whatever station it was on (normally one of the Christian radio stations) to KFDI, the country station in Wichita. She didn’t turn the station because of the music really;rather, mom knew that… Continue reading Hope {Day 11} – “The Rest of the Story”
Hope {Day 9} – “Against All Hope”
Thinking about some of the high school kids that are in playoffs for sports in these coming weeks makes me think about my high school experience. Now, don’t get me wrong, I loved my high school and there were many things that our school was really good at (music, basketball, etc.)… but football just wasn’t… Continue reading Hope {Day 9} – “Against All Hope”
Hope {Day 7} – Giving Hope from Afar
In a way, this post is kind of “Part 2” of yesterday’s post. I mentioned yesterday that often in the times where hope needs to be offered, there aren’t really words or actions that can give that hope… rather, being present is simply enough. While I believe that is often completely true, I can’t… Continue reading Hope {Day 7} – Giving Hope from Afar
HOPE {Day 6} – Giving Hope Simply Means Being Present
Have you ever felt hopeless… not about your own life, but rather, hopeless about someone else’s situation? You look at the situation and just wish there was SOMETHING…. ANYTHING you could do to help. You don’t know what to do. You don’t know what to say. You long so desperately to give them hope, but… Continue reading HOPE {Day 6} – Giving Hope Simply Means Being Present
Joyfullyblessed… with HOPE!
Hope. We use this word so often that I think it has lost some of it’s meaning. “I hope it doesn’t rain today.” “I hope ‘such-n-such’ sports team wins their game.” ”I hope I did okay on my test/work project/etc.” But truly, hope is a much greater concept. When we really look at hope,… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… with HOPE!
Joyfullyblessed … And rejoicing today!
Have you ever found yourself staring at a situation in life wondering how you’d ever get through it? The mountain is just too big to climb. The burden is too much to bear. The weight is just too heavy. It is just IMPOSSIBLE to overcome. Now, have you ever gotten through one of those situations… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed … And rejoicing today!
Joyfullyblessed… By God’s GREAT love!
34 MILLION gallons of water…. That’s how much water can pour over the edge of Niagara Falls each MINUTE. The sights, sounds, and just general experience of going to Niagara Falls is beyond amazing. My friend, Jenn, came to visit from PA this weekend and we ventured into Canada to explore Niagara… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… By God’s GREAT love!
