So, several months ago, I published a post entitled, Waiting: For Graduation, For Marriage, For Motherhood, For Anything but This. And I want to take it back. Not because Jesus isn't enough or because God doesn't keep His promises like I challenged followers of Jesus Christ to remember. But because, I've been waiting for, and have … Continue reading The Real Story of Waiting: Jesus is Enough
Being faithful to the Lord sometimes looks like pain. Sometimes it looks like disappointment. Sometimes it looks like heartache.

So often, we look at times of serving and waiting as fruitless, we don't always see working for the Kingdom … Continue reading Refining Faithfulness
Anger.

I haven't found any … Continue reading Where’s My Peace?
