We may know deep in our hearts that it’s not true, but we’ll often feel that we’re: You get the idea. This listContinue reading “Hope :: You’re Not the Only One”

Weekend Whispers :: 1 Samuel 14:6

Jonathan said to the young man who carried his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for nothing can hinder the LORD from saving by many or by few.” ESV I read this verse recently, and it keeps coming backContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: 1 Samuel 14:6”

Hope :: Finding the Right Path

When I moved into my apartment, I was told there’s a reservoir near me. I tried to look at the maps, but anyone who knows me knows that I am trash with maps. The directions said it was a 20-minute walk, but I hadn’t yet gotten up the gumption to give getting lost a try.Continue reading “Hope :: Finding the Right Path”

Beneath the Mask

***Trigger Warning*** Lady sits on the bench for an hour every day during lunchtime. She’s the picture of sophisticated elegance. Her hair is just so, not a strand out of place. The color, a deep mahogany, catches the sun’s rays just enough to shimmer. Her makeup is perfect; natural, but the casual observer can tellContinue reading “Beneath the Mask”

Hope :: Chasing the Wrong Things

Hello, readers! As the school year drew to a close, I had to come to terms with the fact that I didn’t receive any summer internships. I applied for many but didn’t receive any. When I started hearing about all of the internships my classmates received, I have to be honest. I was in myContinue reading “Hope :: Chasing the Wrong Things”
