In Other Words

1874) I was reading a well-known verse recently; one so well-known I sometimes don’t stop and reflect. The verse is Jeremiah 29:11. When I stop and meditate on verses, I often look them up in their original language (Hebrew, in this case) and look up what those words mean. Here’s what my study discovered: For I

What Encouragement Can Do

1872) When I was in high school, one of my favorite things to do in English class was creative writing assignments. Here I could let my imagination flow. I still have some of my work where my teachers wrote on them what a talented writer I was becoming. College kind of squelched this because of

Hurt Examined

1871) There are difficult things in this life that can be overwhelming. These can fill our lives with hurt and can include abandonment, betrayal, deceit, indifference and more. The question that shows up to me in these situations is, how do I make the pain go away? The hard answer is, I can’t. So, if I

Feelings and Choices

1870) Sometimes it’s easy to assume our feelings are good or bad. If this were true, then we should be able to prevent them from existing within. What makes this issue sticky is how we act in response to these feelings.   Psalm 13 is a good example of the feelings of David versus his

Suffering Acknowledged

1869) Many of us know when a friend is suffering, telling them you know how they feel isn’t often helpful. But when the one suffering knows you have an intimate understanding of it, there is comfort. This person gets it. They know how I feel. This identification is not subject-specific; it is not a comparison

New Wine

1868) The old ways of doing things are sometimes hard to shake. Should electronics be solely used in schools? Should new songs be sung in a church? Should missionary work be done as it has for the last century?   There is comfort in the familiar, but some of our old ways Jesus describes as

When I Feel Like a Failure

Failure is like quicksand. It can pull me down. Paul agrees. He said to forget what was behind me, and begin a new day in the confidence that God will give me strength and when I fail, I tell God about it, straighten my shoulders and move on. 1867) There are situations in my life

Quiet Sleep

1866) As a writer, some of the best times for brainstorming ideas are when I’m walking my dog, taking a bath or just before I go to sleep. According to the research I have done on why this is true has led me to understand that in moments such as these, the analytical part of

Getting Advice

1865) There are times in this life when we need to have input from others. This is a tricky thing because what Saul Bellow said is true. “When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice.” It is tempting to seek out those who will agree with us on a particular issue.

All I need

1863) There is a great promise God gives us in Philippians 4:19. Here, he tells us he will supply everything we need at all times. These needs are anything we need to exist on this earth. The difficulty of this verse is buried a little deeper. It is the fact that God always acts in our
