Hope :: The Bright Side

I’m starting this week’s post with an announcement. Next week’s post will be a guest’s post, with no recording. Just wanted to give you a heads-up before we get there! On to today’s post! I’ve talked about this before, but I think it deserves another mention. When we look at our lives, we tend toContinue reading “Hope :: The Bright Side”

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”

Hope :: You’re Not the Only One

When we’re in the middle of trials of any sort, it’s natural to feel like we’re alone. It can feel like we’re the only ones who have ever felt a certain way. 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 :: Depression Is Weird…

I mean, it makes sense if everything in your life seems to be going wrong; if you’re alone and thrive with being around other people; or anything similar to these. But what about when most everything seems to be going well? When you get the news of your dreams, and yet you can’t seem toContinue reading “Hope :: Depression Is Weird…”

Hope :: Faith in Boston

Seminary in Boston that looks like a castle with turrets

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 :: 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”

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 :: Something Different

Hello, dear readers! My past many posts have spent time focusing on depression and making it another day. While I think that’s a very important thing to teach on, I also believe there are times we should focus outwardly. So that’s what we’re going to do with this post. It’s easy to focus on theContinue reading “Hope :: Something Different”
