Finding Life beyond the struggles
The book of Job ends with a happy ending: Job's fortunes and family restored. Before that could happen though, Job had to walk through the process of repentance. He had to acknowledge his sin and who God really is, then he had to choose to either accept or reject God. The ending of Job's story... Continue Reading →
And we're back with another round of book reviews! I read so many good books in June, and a few that weren't so great. Is there anything worse in the reading world than a book that sounds good in summary but ends up being a complete and total let down? I don't think so. There... Continue Reading →
Confession time, I was supposed to make this post last month for May but it never got posted. So then I thought I'd post it for June, but we were on vacation so that didn't happen either. Fast forward a few weeks and I realized today is the final Friday of June. So basically, welcome... Continue Reading →
Through His description of the Leviathan, God speaks of His relationship with mankind. As the sea monster is mighty and fearsome, so is God. Independent, strong, the only One the creature bows to is God and no man can hope to tame it. In His mercy to us, God is softer, gentler, but He is... Continue Reading →
It's officially Summer!!! My favorite season of the year. I realize it's hot and a lot of people don't actually enjoy it, but I absolutely love it. The only thing I do not like are the bugs. Ugh. I hate bugs. Butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies, and rollie pollies do not count. Summer nights are just as... Continue Reading →
Good morning everyone! How is your Monday going so far? I know that Monday isn't always the favorite day of the week, although I wouldn't say it's the hardest day of the week either. Normally I'm not a Monday person, but after the weekend we've had it's a nice change of pace. However, if you... Continue Reading →
How do we see God? In Chapter 40 of the Book of Job, God continues His answer to Job. Within it, God challenges not only Job's view of Him, but ours as well. Whether we are Christians from birth or non-believers, at some point we tend to think God isn't enough and we act on... Continue Reading →
I decided to wait until this morning to post instead of my regular Wednesday posts simply because today is World Oceans Day! I haven't written about this holiday since 2020, which really is a shame because it's an important one. I'd say it's about time I write on this holiday again. As I'm sure you... Continue Reading →
How crazy is it that May is over and it's June already? May was another whirlwind month for us so I didn't post a lot. It was full of appointments, recitals, and a vacation with friends. Thankfully I did have time for some reading. I probably would've gone absolutely bonkers if I hadn't. The Naturals... Continue Reading →
In Chapter 39, God speaks of nature and the animals that dwell on the earth. He asks Job, Do you command them as I do? But what He shows us is the instability of a life built with pieces of the world and Him. In studying the thirty-ninth chapter of Job, I find confirmation for... Continue Reading →
