#WednesdayWalk – Hard Teaching, Hard Choice

So often his words pierced me like a sword, to my very soul. He touched me deeply in a way I could not explain. There was something different about him. Yet I wrestled with what following him meant to my life.

Wrestling With God

In the midst of our struggles, in the midst of our pain, we can question God about the purpose of trauma. This post dives into the struggles that test out faith.

Prayer Journey — Faith

Do I have faith; faith enough that God is who he says he is? Do I believe He can move mountains in my life? Do I believe He cares immensely about me? Do I have faith that God knows better what is best for me than what I think is best for me? Do I […]

Trusting God Enough to Bring Him Honor

Immersed in the Immediate

As readers of the Old Testament, we have the advantage of seeing the whole picture of God’s future plan; the ability to see God’s ultimate purpose for Israel. We don’t always have that vision for our own lives. Sometimes we can become like Israel where we become immersed in the immediate and only see our current pain and struggles.

Prayer Journey — Worthy

You know me even more than I know myself. You created me. You have a plan for me at this moment in history. You invite me to join you around the charcoal fire and share a meal.
