Wow, way to start off really positive, right? Who starts a blog of encouragement with You are not enough? Me, apparently. But the contents of this post are actually what inspired this entire blog, and I promise it’s much more encouraging than the title makes it sound! So, some backstory: My junior year of collegeContinue reading “You Are Not Enough”
2026: The Year of Big Prayers
As I look back over the last year and look forward to the next one, I’m reminded of how quick I am to underestimate what God can do, and how often He’s proven me wrong. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Him do this in the past twelve months. There were timesContinue reading “2026: The Year of Big Prayers”
David’s Mighty Men: Foreshadowing Faithful Believers
One of my favorite things to learn about in Scripture is the symbolism scattered throughout. There’s something about seeing a pattern repeated from the Old to the New Testament that helps me really grasp biblical concepts and that reminds me of God’s creativity in organizing the path of history the way that He has. Recently,Continue reading “David’s Mighty Men: Foreshadowing Faithful Believers”
In the Moment
Recently I’ve noticed how strong the temptation is for me to want to rush ahead to the next season of life. As soon as I cross one milestone I’m quick to think about my next goal, often getting impatient and considering whether or not I’m falling behind on my very arbitrary – and very linearContinue reading “In the Moment”
Prayer – The Answered and the Unanswered Kind
If you’re anything like me, it can be scary for you to pray really specific prayers. The thought that often goes through my head is “What if God doesn’t answer me? I don’t want to be disappointed, so I just won’t ask for this thing.” But honestly, that’s pretty silly on my part. God wantsContinue reading “Prayer – The Answered and the Unanswered Kind”
Seasons – Part 3, October 2023
Written on October 28, 2023 When writing my previous post, I found it hard to reflect on my words from the beginning of the year. It was difficult to look back on the hope and excitement I had in January, in light of the weariness and sadness of June. But now, towards the end ofContinue reading “Seasons – Part 3, October 2023”
Seasons – Part 2, June 2023
Written on June 24, 2023 I wrote the previous post almost six months ago, and I’ll be honest, it’s a little hard to look back on. Since writing it, I’ve been in a season that’s been really difficult. I’ve felt pretty spiritually dry and have found myself reverting back to old thought patterns that IContinue reading “Seasons – Part 2, June 2023”
Seasons – Part 1, January 2023
Written on January 1, 2023 Reflecting on this past year, I’ve seen how so many things in my life have changed over that time. And reflecting on the last 3 years, I’ve seen an even greater amount of change – change that was hard, but that I’m deeply grateful for. I once wrote about howContinue reading “Seasons – Part 1, January 2023”
The Promises of God
It can be easy sometimes to lose sight of God’s promises. Maybe we’ve let too much of the world in, and our worldview has shifted to one of anxiety. We’re so worried about things in the here and now, and so afraid of failure, rather than looking forward in hope to the future God hasContinue reading “The Promises of God”
The Apostle Peter: A Story of Rejection & Redemption
I have to admit, I love the story of Peter. I love how he’s always saying what everyone else is thinking, and how he’s a little all over the place (relatable). I also love his love for Jesus, and how God was able to use him to build the early church. But let me tellContinue reading “The Apostle Peter: A Story of Rejection & Redemption”
Nothing to Prove
It can be hard to find the balance between faith and works sometimes. Theoretically, I know what the truth is – that we are saved by faith alone, and nothing we do changes that. And that our works of obedience are meant to result from our faith, for the purpose of our sanctification. That GodContinue reading “Nothing to Prove”
