Sights and Thoughts from Around the World
Day in, day out, day in, day out… life is boring. Work is slow and far too inadequate to pay the bills. Something’s gotta give. So, we pray, we wait, we waste time trying to not notice life around us.
We strive to do what’s right, to provide for our families, to pay the bills… I’ve been trying to bring in enough money to pay monthly expenses and get rid of some debt… but no one seems to have the spare cash to take advantage of what I’ve been offering. Even just recently, someone had … Read More “Slamming Doors” »
God tells us to not worry about tomorrow. I’ve got what I need for today; I’m good. Easier said than done to fully trust God like that. We’re taught from an early age to worry, stress, plan, prepare. We’re expected to have it all together and be fully in control of our lives. What a … Read More “One At A Time” »
Have courage, for you walk beside a king. How would you feel if you had the privilege every day to walk next to the king? We are told that the Lord is with us. Those of us who’ve experienced the Holy Spirit especially know this. How about if you had guards with you always? Would … Read More “Have Courage” »
Hope. This can be a difficult concept to grasp when all we’ve been told our entire life is that we’re not good enough, that we don’t measure up, that we have no chance.

Worry. Anxiety. Depression. It builds up until we’re ready to either blow up or melt down. Neither one of those sound good to me. Instead, we need to live for the day and trust God fully for all we need. He takes care of the birds of the field; surely He’ll take care of those … Read More “Trust for the Day” »
Is it just me, or are people becoming less and less responsible, worse and worse at communication. Seems like community is becoming an illusion, even within the big city churches. It seems that we don’t truly see community until we get into the small town, county road churches, where folk take the time to know … Read More “Declining Communication” »
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV
When you’re going through hell, keep on moving. It’s easy to feel like we just want to stop the world from spinning and hop off… okay, I’m done… forget this… I don’t get paid enough for this! It’s easy to bail on social groups, churches, dreams, hopes, goals. What has God told you to do? … Read More “Keep on Moving” »
I’m so tired of waiting for God to fulfill His promises to us! But wait I must do! Every day, I thrive on His small encouragements and guidance. There’s no doubt that I’m doing what I’m supposed to do. It’s just so frustrating to not be able to do what I feel called to do.
