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”

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 :: Jeremiah 29:10-12

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 :: Things Change

Hello, beautiful readers! I know I’ve written a similar post before, but I honestly figure it’s never a bad idea to talk about change. For me, a lot is changing very quickly. In less than a month, I’m moving to Boston to begin my Master’s Degree in Publishing and Writing. I’ll have a new apartmentContinue reading “Hope :: Things Change”

Weekend Whispers :: Numbers 11:22-23

“Even if we butchered all our flocks and herds, would that satisfy them? Even if we caught all the fish in the sea, would that be enough?” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Has my arm lost its power? Now you will see whether or not my word comes true!” In the text above, weContinue reading “Weekend Whispers :: Numbers 11:22-23”

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 :: Daily Purpose

Sometimes we get in ruts. Life seems to pass us by. I remember when I first started working at a church… Months passed by and I realized I was basically surviving Sunday to Sunday. It was as if Sunday was the only important part of the week and the rest of the time was simplyContinue reading “Hope :: Daily Purpose”

Hope :: When Procrastination is Bad

Okay! So I’ve written before about how procrastination can be a good thing. Not necessarily the act itself, but that sometimes it’s okay to take a break when you need it. Now I’m going to write about the flip side. If you are a regular reader of mine, you’ll realize that this post is aContinue reading “Hope :: When Procrastination is Bad”
