This is what the LORD says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again. For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good andContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: Jeremiah 29:10-12”

Hope :: The Ups and Downs
I don’t know about you, but my life is always a series of ups and downs. And I don’t mean the kiddie rides. I mean the full-blown roller coasters that I refuse to ride because… death. Life can be exhausting. It can hurt. We can have all these great things happen. Then one bad thingContinue reading “Hope :: The Ups and Downs”
Weekend Whispers :: Ecclesiastes 11:4
“Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.” If you’re waiting for things to be perfect or for everything to line up perfectly before you do anything, you’re going to do absolutely nothing. I don’t know about you, but I’m a pro at ‘what if’ thinking. SometimesContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: Ecclesiastes 11:4”
Hope :: Past the Fear
I don’t know about you, but I’m afraid. A lot. Fear can actually be a good thing. In small doses and if it keeps you from doing something stupid. Fear can also keep you trapped and keep you from doing and being MORE. I don’t know what your “more” is, but I know we allContinue reading “Hope :: Past the Fear”
Hope :: Stay the Course
No matter in what stage of life you find yourself entrenched, I’m willing to bet you’re fighting battles in your life. Maybe it’s that it seems everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Maybe it’s that you don’t have anyone supporting you. I could sit here all day naming off things that could beContinue reading “Hope :: Stay the Course”
Hope :: There’s Always Something
I struggle with depression. Sometimes it gets really bad. To the point where someone asks what’s good in my life and I can’t think of a single thing. The past few weeks have been extremely rough. Each day was progressively worse. I love the team I work with, but every single night I was dreadingContinue reading “Hope :: There’s Always Something”
Hope :: Why I Believe
Some people believe in God because of some miracle He’s worked in their lives. Some believe because of total healing He’s performed. I believe because He’s always been here. I always had a hard time making friends. I had two best friends in elementary school. By the time I got into high school (7th grade)Continue reading “Hope :: Why I Believe”
Hope :: Take Control
Sometimes it feels like everything in your life is out of control. It feels like no matter what you do, someone or something else is always pulling the strings and making the decisions for you. I’ve been there plenty of times. What I’ve found that helps me see hope in the midst of that isContinue reading “Hope :: Take Control”
Hope :: Pretending
I don’t know about you, but I’m kind of a pro at pretending that everything is fine. When I was in seventh grade, I began constructing a mask that no one could see through to get to my true feelings. Someone made me cry, then laughed at me, and I decided no one else wouldContinue reading “Hope :: Pretending”
Hope :: Drowning in the Deep
Do you ever get so far into something, only to realize you’re in over your head, and you don’t know how to get out of it? If you’ve ever been in over your head with no real way to get out, you’re not alone. Sometimes, we get in over our heads by our own choices.Continue reading “Hope :: Drowning in the Deep”
