Monthly Archives: December 2013. December 2, 2013. I like beginnings. And words. And lists. And goals. But not like, “I’ll be a successful businesswoman one day.” I’ve never been good at those kinds of goals. More like, “I want to change in [this] way” kinds of goals. Which is why when my friend Stephanie asked me and a few other friends the challenging question of “What will your word be for 2014? 8221;, I got pretty excited. And nervous. I’m so excited about this! Some versions say, “laugh at the...

Because of Men’s Souls. My name is Claire, and I am an idealist. November 6, 2013. Last week, my good friend Sarah and I began to discuss “personality types”. You know, Myers Briggs and “What type of animal are you? 8221; stuff. This week, when we met for coffee, she brought me some materials to look through to possibly determine what type I am (without having to pay to take a test) and she also pointed me to some online resources. This one. And with that, I quickly determined I am an INFP: The Idealist.

Monthly Archives: November 2013. November 16, 2013. I care about defending the faith I have in Jesus Christ, both logically and personally. Not in the “Ha! You are wrong and I am right! Why do you base your life on Him? How can you be sure there is a God? I believe that Jesus is who He says He is – namely, God – because I know Him. 8221; you will say yes (unless you are for some reason ashamed of having met that person and/or you are a liar). You see, you can’t. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

God’s Grace for Jonah and a Miracle Along the Way | sojourninglikeso

Affections, Attachments, Loves. That’s My King! God’s Grace for Jonah and a Miracle Along the Way. October 28, 2013. A runaway prophet on an angry sea,. A man who says,. 8220;I fear the Lord, the God of heaven”. 8220;rose to flee”. And worried, terrified sailors with their own impersonal gods. 8220;Arise, call out to your god! They demand of the prophet. For their gods are failing them. They refuse to still this storm, perhaps lack the ability altogether. Perhaps don’t exist? And the prophet confesses.

Monthly Archives: September 2013. An Introduction to 31 Days: The Fear of the Lord. September 30, 2013. As described in my last post. I am excited to be discussing and growing in the fear of the Lord with you during the month of October. 31 days (and 32 if you count today). Links to each post during the month can be found at the bottom of this post. Here we go! Why should we fear the Lord? And who is He anyway? Hopefully, some of the answers to these questions will be discovered by us in the coming weeks.

Monthly Archives: January 2012. January 15, 2012. Will be thrown in there. Though I didn’t see it and probably won’t. Anyway. I have devoted way too much time, attention, passion, and conversation to the film world. This includes celebrities. I have known for quite some that I might, in fact, worship the big screen. How do you know what it is that you most prize? And so, this is why we give awards to directors and actors and make-up artists in the film world. Movies and songs and any other form of ar...

One of my Favorite (Top 5, At Least) Jesus Stories. Because of Men’s Souls →. October 31, 2013. Well, this is it. My 31 Days of the Fear of the Lord writing challenge ends today. It has been a very interesting month. I met some challenges during the past few weeks that made me see my utter need to always fear my Lord above all else. Writing specifically about this reverence and this belief in God’s good character could not have come at a better time. The fear of the Lord leads to life,. Fill in your deta...

My name is Claire, and I am an idealist. →. Because of Men’s Souls. November 2, 2013. If you love Me, keep My commandments. 8211; John 14:15. My Utmost for His Highest. I’m not quite sure what obeying Him looks like for me. Sometimes I do, in the moment. But overall, with the direction of the life He’s given me, I mostly do not know. But then again, maybe only obedience in the little moments count. They pave the way for the “big decisions”. Won’t that be exciting? That is the beauty of story. Fill in you...

Monthly Archives: June 2014. June 24, 2014. I read some powerful words this morning. They are powerful because I identify with them. For the enemy has pursued my soul;. He has crushed my life to the ground;. He has made me sit in darkness like those long dead. Therefore my spirit faints within me;. My heart within me is appalled. Yeesh I know it’s not pretty. It’s actually quite scary. Like a horror movie you wish you hadn’t seen. But there is more! I also identify with these words. Let me hear…. This la...

Monthly Archives: July 2012. Anticipation; new loves. July 18, 2012. Is there anything better than the sound of rain outside your window?
