Finding Life beyond the struggles
The path has been laid, the foundation set, and finally God speaks. The beginning of the Lord's discourse may seem combative, even demeaning, but what God's words do is break down the rest of the wall that is keeping Job from Him. This beginning also shows us just how great God is and how great... Continue Reading →
Can we all agree that storms, both atmospherical and of life, are hard? Yet there is opportunity to draw near to God in both. In the final chapter of his discourse, Elihu speaks about storms and the One who controls them. This is actually a great ending to his discourse because Job is navigating his... Continue Reading →
It seems like each and every person is searching for the meaning of their life. With questions like, Why was I born? and What is the purpose of my life? a frequent refrain, it's hard not to question the meaning of our existence.

I've kept it consistent and while I'm not seeing a dramatic change, I am seeing change. I'm feeling it, too. So today is all about going over the last three... Continue Reading →

March's reading list was filled with a lot of hits...and some misses. I thought I would have two highly anticipated books to review for you, but I only get to include one because Goodreads got the release date wrong on the second book I was waiting to come out. But the good news is that... Continue Reading →
I was reading in the book of Titus last week and since then I've been thinking of something Paul says in the third chapter.
