Hope-Filled Sunday: Like Us, For Us

Hope-Filled Sunday!   Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.   Everyone wants to belong. To feel like they’re part of a group. Yet, at times, everyone feels just the opposite. That no one likes them or understands them. That they need to change to fit some mold. To be just like everyone else. […]

Hope-Filled Sunday: It’s Okay to Rest

Hope-Filled Sunday!   Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.   Time to rest. What a lovely concept. However, is it something that’s truly possible in today’s fast-paced society? Is taking time to rest (our bodies and minds) something most people do on a regular basis? I know for me, the answer is, sadly, […]

Hope-Filled Sunday: Distractions

Hope-Filled Sunday!     Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.   Distractions! They’re everywhere, aren’t they? And I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that I’m even more distracted these past couple years. Sadly, I even got distracted while writing this. (Thankfully I remembered before I posted it! Things to distract us […]

He is Risen!

He is Risen!   The empty tomb affirmed everything Jesus had said: He was the Son of God! He’d battled evil, and He won! Easter Sunday confirmed what it says in John 11:25-26 (NIV): “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing […]

What’s So Good About Good Friday?

What’s So Good About Good Friday?     While I’m very familiar with pain, I can’t even begin to imagine the pain Jesus experienced when He was crucified alongside the criminals hanging beside Him, the weight of the world and their sins crushing His spirit.  In Matthew 27:46, He cries out to His Father, “Why […]

Hope-Filled Sunday: You Are Chosen

Hope-Filled Sunday!     Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.     “You are chosen.” These are words most people likely long to hear. And hopefully, it’s a phrase we all here during our lifetime. However, that’s not always the case … or at least it may not be the case here on […]

Hope-Filled Sunday: We Serve A Big God!

Hope-Filled Sunday!   Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.     We serve a big God! Logically, you likely know that already. However, in trying times, it can be easily forgotten. The past few years have been challenging and anxiety-filled for many people. But through it all—including life’s daily struggles, chronic pain and […]

Hope-Filled Sunday: It’s in the Past

Hope-Filled Sunday!   Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.     I love the movie The Lion King. And one of my favorite scenes is when Rafiki tells Simba to forget what he is worrying about because it’s in the past. While I love the scene, and I agree with what the wise […]

Hope-Filled Sunday: Is God Listening?

Hope-Filled Sunday!     Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week.     It’s natural to wonder, especially when you find yourself waiting, and waiting, for answers to your prayers. But just because we’re waiting, that doesn’t mean God isn’t listening. He is! God isn’t a God of instant answers, at least not always. […]
