When it Just Doesn’t Make Sense…
Sometimes life in this world is just tough. Sometimes things are so very, very hard and we just don’t understand what God is doing. I’m in a good season right now, but I’ve been through dark times in the past, and I know it can be so hard to trust our Father’s loving heart when weContinue reading “When it Just Doesn’t Make Sense…”
Do You Ever Long to Find a Place of Safety in this Crazy World?
Towering high, nestled in the limbs of the tree outside my window, there is a nest. I’ve looked up at that nest for days now, wondering what’s happening inside.

But it’s just too high up- and I’m not oneContinue reading “Do You Ever Long to Find a Place of Safety in this Crazy World?”
Can you relate to these thoughts?
Sometimes I catch myself thinking things like this: ‘That’s never going to change.’ ‘That’s just too big a problem.’ ‘If God was going to answer, He would have done so by now.’ ‘It’s too late for that to ever change.’ ‘I could never pray enough about that, so I might as well not pray atContinue reading “Can you relate to these thoughts?”
Why do I always doubt?
Oh, His faithfulness! His faithfulness! How slow I am to trust Him- how quick to panic. And how wonderful He is to answer anyway. My car broke the other day.

And Satan’s not exactly silent, is he? “I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, andContinue reading “WHO SAYS these mountains won’t move?”
Ask!
God can do amazing things. Never underestimate Him. Never try to put Him in a box. He is far, far bigger than that. He is God. And He loves to amaze His people. God loves to answer prayer. He loves to respond to our asking- not just doing what we ask but doing far, far,Continue reading “Ask!”
The Key to Peace
Do you struggle to trust Him sometimes? I know I do! He has been teaching me things that are wonderful… and I am struggling to apply. They’re still worth sharing, though, so here goes… The key to peace is trusting Him. It’s being little and letting Him be God. Letting Him have control. And actuallyContinue reading “The Key to Peace”
Wait for Him
God’s timing is perfect. Don’t try to rush ahead of Him. Don’t give up because you can’t see Him working. Don’t lose heart because it doesn’t make sense. He knows what He is doing, and there is a reason for the delay… and a glorious plan beyond it! “He hath made every thing beautiful inContinue reading “Wait for Him”
