Single but not Alone

Singleness isn’t a disease to be cured. It’s a season to be experienced. Here’s what I’ve struggled with being single, and here’s what God says…

Acquainted With Jesus

Sometimes, the times you are least ceremonious, the times you come to God ugly crying or confused or just feeling gross, you see God in a whole new light.

You become acquainted with how your imperfections can’t possibly wedge a single inch between you and Jesus.

A Good Report

I will choose to report on God’s faithfulness, not his apparent yet none-existent shortcomings.
I want to be like Caleb and Joshua, who brought back a good report of Canaan and believed their God would remain faithful to his promises.

Enough-ness in Your Season

I think it’s normal to wish you were dating someone when you’re single, and I’ve had that feeling before, but that’s not necessarily what I’m talking about.

If you grew up in church, you had it memorized before you turned seven. If you didn’t, you are still likely quite familiar with the message. But is the gospel only for those who haven’t yet heard the good news?

I Have THIS Hope

Is anyone else afraid that school will shut down again?
Despite the terrifying possibility, I have THIS hope…

But God

We live in challenging times. I wrote this journal entry not long ago, and I am still challenged to this day. It is difficult realizing YOU were made for such a time, a time of chaos and deception and havoc.
But God knows what he’s doing.
