“I hope it will happen.” He said it. He didn’t mean it. And I knew it. He was “hoping” but he didn’t have hope. Between World Hope and God Hope There’s a difference. But that’s world hope … wishing and hoping are equal here. When you dig into the Truth of God’s Hope, it’s a…
I trusted what they said more than I trusted God. It did not work out well for me. I got farther behind. I became more frustrated. I spent more of everything (time, effort, money) trying to figure out what I was missing. The only thing I was missing was the Truth. I bought the lie…
I got my feels wound up. I released the frustration and hurt through the keyboard. By the second draft in, I had a better understanding of what I almost got tangled in. What started as part of the social noise became an opportunity to breathe peace. Have Your Feels Ever Taken the Wheel? My feels…
