Have you had a nice summer? As August draws to a close and we head towards the last quarter of the year, I thought it might be enjoyable to reflect on the past few months! Personally I can’t believe how this year has flown. In between politics and work, one might loose sight of some […]
Encouragement
All Things Beautiful
I’ll be honest here, I’m not terribly handy from a mechanical point of view. Yes, I can work my way through things, but it’s not second nature to me. This point was further highlighted when I went to hang some hooks in my room. They hung by two brackets so it wasn’t quite as straightforward […]
A Change of Heart
Have you ever had a change of heart about something? Although it has probably happened more times than I could say, I have known myself to have a complete change of opinion in some situations. It is rather curious, really, but also fascinating to find myself doing a complete 180. Now that I’ve recognized the […]
Just Wait
I try not to be impatient, really I do. And in my efforts I often grow impatient with myself for not having conquered patience yet! (Rather a vicious cycle!) This past week I was reading my Bible looking for encouragement and any tips on patience I might glean when I came across a lovely verse: […]
Faith Can Move Mountains
Faith can move mountains, that’s what we’re told. If you believe in something, even in the smallest way, just a hint of an idea, remarkable things can be accomplished. What do you believe? Do you believe that God can do incredible things? I certainly do! He has no limits and is capable of accomplishing things […]
Without Reservation
God is faithful and we can trust Him without reservation. – George Muller I’ve recently begun reading an autobiography on George Muller. I was familiar with him due to having read a biography of him in school. He lived back in Germany in the 1800s and was head of an orphanage. I also recall him […]
The Full Armor of God
I’ve been reading about the full armor of God lately. How we should equip ourselves with it, use it to safeguard and encourage ourselves. Though I’ve been aware of the armor of God for a long time, it struck me recently how the Bible said to put on the full armor. Not just a piece […]
Part of the Process
It’s all part of the process. Each tiny, infinitesimal detail in this thing called life. Whether we are in the middle of a large or small project, working with a team or on our own, each dimension is a part of the process. Stages Most of what we do can be broken into stages. Perhaps […]
High Standards
High standards are so important for us to hold fast to. As Christians, giving God our best should be our ultimate goal, and what better way to give ourselves an edge than to keep our standards high?! What are Standards? Standards are a way that we measure things. A compass, so to speak, of what […]
Psalm 91 Personalization
Psalm 91 is one of my favorite passages in Scripture. If you aren’t familiar with it you really should read it – it brings such peace and comfort! I love to read it and personalize it. God’s Word holds so many precious promises, He fulfills our every need! Those who live in the shelter of […]
