Following His Path To Something Beautiful
What Abraham Teaches Us About Hope is part 2 of a 2 part blog. You can find part 1, What Job Teaches Us About Hope And Times Of Suffering, here. We pick up right where we left off! Job intimately ties us to the New Testament, because all of his questions and problems are answered [...]
What has Jesus done? Well, that is a loaded question, and a question that stopped me in my tracks the other day when I was reading about the last supper. I have been struggling with a double ear infection for about a month now, and trying to endure my way through it. It is frustrating [...]
I should have been walking in the confidence of His love after reflecting on His hesed love all week. But a perfect storm, left me walking off a plane, deeply knowing that if the plane had closed the doors with me on it, I would have been in a full-blown panic attack on the way [...]

I found this file on my computer this week, and realized I never posted this anywhere. I wrote it 3 years ago, but the truths stayed the same. It is the story of being a prodigal daughter, and the God who says to us "Daughter, you are now home." When I followed Jesus in high [...]
