Lessons From Life: My Everything

 ”Nevertheless, I am continually with you;
   you hold my right hand.
 You guide me with your counsel,
   and afterward you will receive me to glory.
  Whom have I in heaven but you?
   And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
  My flesh and my heart may fail,
   but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Meditations From My Time of “Fasting”

 I am very thankful for opportunities to use modern technology to connect with my friends. As a homeschooler who has a lot of friends outside of my church that I don’t get to spend much time with in person, I enjoy to spend time talking to my friends online on Facebook and IM. It’s been a [...]

“The Motions”

 Are any of you like me in the way that certain songs have this way of gripping your heart with a strange intensity? Do they seem to speak to your very soul in ways that words alone can’t and make you want to break down crying, raise your arms and praise God, fall to your [...]

The inauguration is a huge deal and I congratulate President Obama for being the first black president, even if I do not [...]

Set Apart Strangers

“We profess to be strangers and pilgrims, seeking after a country of our own, yet we settle down in the most un-stranger-like fashion, exactly as if we were quite at home and meant to stay as long as we could. I don’t wonder apostolic miracles have died. Apostolic living certainly has.” ~ Amy Carmichael

Florida Recap

Just a quick recap of my trip for those that are interested. We got back a week ago from our 4,000 mile journey going from the coldest place in the continental US to the warmest and back again. There was about a 100 degree difference between Florida and here (80 to -20). We had a [...]

Footprints

 I was walking along the warm Florida beach last Monday. It was a beautiful day and being in such a warm place while at home was -20 degrees outside was very refreshing. As I walked along I made footprints. There is something about footprints in the sand that has captivated me for a long time. [...]

Where to Set Our Eyes

So many things are constantly vying for my precious time and attention. So many things that, even if they themselves are good, are pulling me away from Christ. So many sins that love to cling to me and temptations that are strong. We live in a world where it is not easy to live lives [...]
