Established in Him: Unless I Had Believed...

Wednesday, December 28, 2011. Unless I Had Believed. Christmas just came and went, seemingly so quickly! I hope you had a great Christmas with family and friends! It's comical to me how after Christmas Day is over, people are immediately counting down the days until Christmas of the next year. Speaking of, as of now we have about 362 days and 14 hours until next Christmas. Hope, not to. Celebrate, not to. Did they still have hope? Did they find anything to celebrate? The reality is that we're going to be...

Established in Him: October 2011
http://establishedinhim.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 19, 2011. God's Intervention in a Place of Longing. When we're seeking God in trials, God will answer our cries for help and will intervene, but sometimes his intervention is not what we expected or were hoping for. What does it mean for God to test our faith? Whatever we believe is what we will act upon. If I really believe God is enough for me, then I will live like it. I won't continually be chasing after other things for satisfaction because my satisfaction and contentment ...When ...

Established in Him: April 2009

Sunday, April 12, 2009. 5 Blessings for EASTER! Hanging out with my sister last night and today. 2 Catching up on some emails yesterday. 3 Realizing that I am almost done with school.finally! It's kind of bittersweet. I especially loved the choir's anthem "Hallelujah, Jesus Saves.". Jesus said to her, ' I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Take care and enjoy your Easter! Saturday, April 11, 2009.

Established in Him: February 2011

Friday, February 25, 2011. The Kingdom of Heaven . and Hundreds of Birds. The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.". Yesterday morning, I was taking the dogs out and not only saw a beautiful sunrise but also heard the sound of hundreds of birds chirping, perched in the trees beside my neighbor's house. And I mean literally hundreds.

Established in Him: March 2011
http://establishedinhim.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. On the Giving End of Hope. I don’t like to ask for help. I like handling things on my own, especially if asking for help would be putting me in a place of vulnerability. Yes, I still tend to be prideful in this way and worry too much about what people will think. Recently, however, I’ve been reminded of the beauty of reaching out and asking for help. I’ve been on the giving end of help. And hope. May God continue to bless us with special friends who laugh and cry with us, speak Tr...

Established in Him: January 2012
http://establishedinhim.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 28, 2012. Give When You Think You Can't. I just love random acts of kindness. both receiving and especially giving them! The other day at Starbucks I was getting my free coffee (which will end when January does! God was tugging at my heart to support him in some way. I decided to get him a Starbucks gift card. Even though I had looked at my finances just the previous night and knew things were tight, even when I thought I didn't have anything to give to this man, I did it anyway. The gi...

Established in Him: Not Chosen... Or Am I?
http://establishedinhim.blogspot.com/2011/11/not-chosen-or-am-i.html
Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Not Chosen. Or Am I? Ugh I am so tired of being single! Seriously, I’m beginning to question whether there is anyone out there for me. But what’s so bad about that? Why can’t I just be content being single? It would be fine, except for the uncomfortable underlying sense that I’m not wanted. Not loved. Not chosen. And yet, as a friend pointed out a few days ago, my perspective is so not. Sweet Tipper loves to love me. His favorite place to be in sitting in my lap, laying ...

Established in Him: Worthy of All Praise
http://establishedinhim.blogspot.com/2011/12/worthy-of-all-praise.html
Friday, December 16, 2011. Worthy of All Praise. What speaks to you of God's greatness and majesty? As for me, it's nature. And particularly the sky. It's also Christian music. Mix them together and I'm in Heaven. :). One of my new favorite songs is one that's actually been around awhile but has been re-recorded in a new edition:. How Great is Our God (World Edition)" by Chris Tomlin. And they were shouting with a mighty shout, 'Salvation comes from our God on the throne and from the Lamb! God just leave...
