Hope :: Staying Busy

There’s a big difference between living within busy-ness and using busy-ness to avoid life. I’ve done both. Staying busy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I thrive on staying busy.

Weekend Whispers :: Job 38:36

Who gives intuition to the heartand instinct to the mind? Job 38:36 NLT It’s really easy sometimes to feel like God has abandoned us. To feel that, no matter what we do, it’s like God is in a completely separate place from us and doesn’t care. Don’t get me wrong, I think we all knowContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: Job 38:36”

Sorry, I forgot to attach the audio! If there’s one thing I’ve learned over all others throughout my life to this point, it’s that we all have a purpose in life, and it usually lives in the very center of our souls.

Hope :: In the Waiting

Growing up, I was always told, “Don’t pray for patience. God will provide lots of opportunities if you ask for it.” So I haven’t prayed for patience in a very long time. But that hasn’t kept me from seasons of waiting. And let me tell you, I’m in a huge season of waiting right now. I don’tContinue reading “Hope :: In the Waiting”
