Hope :: Set Boundaries

I’m writing this week’s blog as someone who’s still working at setting boundaries, but I can tell you from experience that setting boundaries is definitely worth it. Back in 2016 (I think), I had a friend suggest Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life by Drs. HenryContinue reading “Hope :: Set Boundaries”

Hope :: Grief Meets Faith

I was planning for last week’s post to be a recap of the year and for it to be the last post of the year since I’ll be traveling both this week and next. However, with it being finals week, no post got written. And here I am, with a completely different post. No recapContinue reading “Hope :: Grief Meets Faith”

Hope :: Protection from Yourself

I bought this ring for myself when my last long-term boyfriend left me for a girl ten years younger. I bought it to remind myself that God always needs to come first in my life. I also bought it to keep guys (hopefully) from asking me out. What I found was that creepers saw itContinue reading “Hope :: Protection from Yourself”

Hope :: Finding It

Hey, everyone! Sorry for no recording today. I got hit with sudden allergies, and between the stuffed up nose and the sinus headache, recording wasn’t at the top of my list. On to the scheduled post: I want to focus today on what hope is and how to find it. I’ve talked about this before,Continue reading “Hope :: Finding It”

Hope :: Faith in Boston

I told you all last time that I would talk about my struggles with faith throughout the last few months. I want to open by saying that I never once stopped believing in or loving God. But I can’t say that it hasn’t been extremely difficult, and from several different directions. Professional My first hurdleContinue reading “Hope :: Faith in Boston”

Hope :: Springtime

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached May. The picture above is one I took a few weeks ago. Below is the one I took today. Winter in the Northeast is a huge mix of gray and brown. Sometimes, it’s difficult to see the positive in what looks dead. But those couple of weeks ago, theContinue reading “Hope :: Springtime”

Hope :: Seeing Beyond Yourself

I don’t know about you, but I can be a very selfish person. I become so inwardly focused that I miss what’s happening around me. I thought the picture above perfectly reflected (😉) exactly what I was imagining when I thought about what would be in this post. Oftentimes, we see situations in our livesContinue reading “Hope :: Seeing Beyond Yourself”

Weekend Whispers :: Jeremiah 1:4-8

The LORD gave me this message: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”“O Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”The LORD replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for youContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: Jeremiah 1:4-8”

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”

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”
