Weekend Whispers :: Isaiah 40:28-31

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and youngContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: Isaiah 40:28-31”

Hope :: New Beginnings

I promise, not every post is going to be about my move to Boston and starting school, but it’s my life right now. I’ve learned posts are more relatable if I use real life. So, anywhoodle, I’ve got a lot of new beginnings happening right now. New apartment, new school, new city, new everything… OrContinue reading “Hope :: New Beginnings”

Weekend Whispers :: James 2:14-17

Dear brothers and sisters, what’s the use of saying you have faith if you don’t prove it by your actions? That kind of faith can’t save anyone. Suppose you see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing, and you say, “Well, good-bye and God bless you; stay warm and eat well” – butContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: James 2:14-17”

Hope :: Time Flies

You know that saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun?” It also flies when you have deadlines. Obviously I’ve been radio silent for a few weeks. If you read my latest “Hope” blog post, you’ll know I was having a silent spell so I could get ready and move to Boston. I’m here! I madeContinue reading “Hope :: Time Flies”

Weekend Whispers :: Matthew 5:38-42

You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. If you are sued in court and your shirtContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: Matthew 5:38-42”

PSA :: Quiet Week

Hello!!! I thank you all for your support! I wanted to give you a head’s up on something I’m sure you’ve already noticed (my lack of this week’s “Weekend Whispers”).

Hope :: When it Rains…

I feel like most of this summer has been rain, lots of thunderstorms, and just a few “sunshiny” days. As I write this, it’s pouring rain outside and has done so all day long. There’s an old adage that says, “When it rains it pours…” It’s in reference to the storms of life, and IContinue reading “Hope :: When it Rains…”

Weekend Whispers :: Romans 8:14-16

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm thatContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: Romans 8:14-16”

Hope :: Old and New

When I was walking through Boston a few weeks ago, all I could focus on was the mix of the old and new. There is so much rich history within the city. There are old buildings with beautiful architecture. But as you look around, you also see these brand new, splendid buildings mixed in. IfContinue reading “Hope :: Old and New”
