He still leads me…
I was traveling yesterday, so I'm a little behind on my blog-reading. Today, however, I had some spare time between conference sessions and read this beautiful post from GirlTalk that I wanted to share here. The post, Walking in Darkness, reminded me of seasons where I walked not knowing with certainty what the end result… Continue reading He still leads me…
Promises and Fulfillment: The New Covenant
This is the final post in the series we covered in Bible Study last month. After looking at the Old Testament, we spent a week looking at the New Testament and how it related with the Old Testament. First, we looked at two passages predicting the coming of the New Covenant, particularly Jeremiah 31:31-34. Next… Continue reading Promises and Fulfillment: The New Covenant
Promises and Fulfillment: The Old Covenant part 2
After looking at prophecies about Jesus from Moses, we looked at some (but by no means even close to all) of the other prophecies in the Old Testament. PROPHECIES FROM OTHERS: Born in Bethlehem o (Micah 5:2) But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you… Continue reading Promises and Fulfillment: The Old Covenant part 2
Promises and Fulfillment: The Old Covenant part 1
Even though the whole Old Testament -- Old Covenant -- points to the coming of Christ as the Redeemer, we looked mostly at the promises concerning the Messiah as a brief overview of the Old Testament. The inspiring verse for this study was John 5:46 “… For if you believed Moses, you would believe me;… Continue reading Promises and Fulfillment: The Old Covenant part 1

Philosophy of Work
1.) Coffee mugs should be entertaining, if not inspirational. 2.) The desktop background should be comical. 3.) My mind so fixed on Christ and my heart so full of gratitude that I can "do everything without complaining or arguing."
Whether for correction or for his land or for love…
He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning. They turn around and around by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world. Whether for correction or for his land or for love, he causes it to happen. Job 37:11-13 This is my comfort… Continue reading Whether for correction or for his land or for love…
My Lord, I Did Not Choose You
Tonight, as I was "goofing off on the piano", I came across another hymn that I had never heard before: My Lord, I Did Not Choose You. The words are beautiful and true, so I wanted to share them here: My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would… Continue reading My Lord, I Did Not Choose You
