So, more thoughts on anxiety and worry: As the Lord has been teaching me lately about resting in Him, I thought it would be a good thing to keep writing about!

The Faith That Delights God’s Heart
Something God has been teaching me about lately is faith. I think that faith brings joy to the heart of God. Simple, childlike faith. Faith that believes God is good, trusts in Him and follows Him through Jesus, and chooses to live like He is good and run with it. I belong to Jesus. My sins areContinue reading “The Faith That Delights God’s Heart”
How Knowing God’s Love Can Help With Fear of a New Year…
Do you ever feel a little bit of fear about going into a new year? To be honest, I do. I think one of my greatest weaknesses is fear and hesitancy.

The Power of Hope
Recently, I’ve been reading the book of Ruth. And I have been seeing in it the theme of hope. In the book of Ruth, God shows us a contrast: two ways of responding to life’s hard knocks. Two women in deep grief, who respond differently. Naomi gives way to bitterness, whereas Ruth chooses faith. BothContinue reading “The Power of Hope”
The Problem of Pessimism
Something I’ve been thinking through lately is this: negativity, pessimism and gloom can be tools for Satan to use in my life. They can feed doubt; fear; unbelief. They can be a breeding ground for worry. They can stifle my faith, and the power of my prayers. Like worry, pessimism can feel innocent. ButContinue reading “The Problem of Pessimism”
A Very Powerful Force That is Available to Us All…
Something I’ve been learning about recently is prayer. I’m learning that prayer is a powerful, powerful thing. Because God is all powerful and and prayer is God acting in answer to the words of feeble men and women. Those who come to God through Jesus (which we all can do if we come on HisContinue reading “A Very Powerful Force That is Available to Us All…”
Why Worry is Not As Innocent As it Seems…
So, again, I think the subject for this post is worry… and trust. It’s the subject I feel God wants me to write about again, and it’s definitely one I need to grow in! Do you ever catch yourself fretting about something you’re already committed to God through Jesus? Over and over again? And doContinue reading “Why Worry is Not As Innocent As it Seems…”
How the Father’s Love Can Help With Fear…
You know I struggle with fear and worry. I blog about it often, because I battle with it often! Here is me processing more, in the light of what God has been showing me about His love as Father, and how His love can help to cast out fear. ’18 There is no fear in love;Continue reading “How the Father’s Love Can Help With Fear…”
Where We Can Find Everything We Need…
Ok, so this is a bit of a crazy week- another day in a recording studio is coming up, Lord willing! There hasn’t been much time for blogging. So I thought I would share another poem with you: a poem I wrote for my parents about our shared faith. I hope it is an encouragement!Continue reading “Where We Can Find Everything We Need…”
