Knowing God

Life’s been a mix of craziness and excitement and new things, while at the same time there are just days that I’m struggling to find joy and hope in life. Where I’m struggling to find meaning and satisfaction in life. There are so many choices to make, decisions that will affect my life forever…and I just feel at a loss. I don’t know what to do sometimes. I feel like sometimes I’m just getting nowhere.

Satisfaction Right Where You Are

I wish that I could say that I was able to find joy in every circumstance. I wish I could say that I knew that it would all turn out well in the end. I wish that I could tell say that I knew how all of this was going to fit into God’s plan for my life.

What is the basis for your morality?

Ugh. This week has been rough and good all at the same time. In some ways I’ve gotten a lot of stuff done. *cough* Reading. *cough* In other ways, I have done less than I hoped. *cough* Writing. *cough* I haven’t shown my best side for many of these days. I wish I could say that this wasn’t true, but…that would be a lie. At some points, I’ve felt like giving up on the whole life thing. I know that I wouldn’t, but there are times when I just feel it. There are those times when I feel like I don’t care about anything in that moment, though I do.

We are Not Called to be Liked by All

Let’s just say it.

We all want people to be honest to us. We all want people to love us. We all want people to respect us. We all want people to appreciate us. We all want people to care about us.

What do you find your identity in?

This year has started off pretty well, I must say. I’ve stuck to my goal to write everyday, except for a day or two that I purposely took off to refresh my brain. I’ve been journaling pretty regularly. I’ve been reading my Bible more often, which ends up being every couple of days (I need to do it everyday.). I’ve even found some time to read, though not as much as I would like (But I don’t think any amount of reading would ever satisfy me fully. The books just keep coming. Hahaha…).

Judging is Not a Bad Thing

People misconstrue things about the Bible a lot. It’s just bound to happen. Someone, somewhere, is going to misconstrue something about the Bible.

Loving Those Who Do Not Love You

So, last week I talked about what it means to truly love God. Well…love seems to be the theme on my mind this week so I want to talk about something else that relates to love. Something that can be just as hard or maybe even harder than loving God.

Learning to Forgive (No Matter What)

Life’s hard.

Is All Sin Equal in God’s Eyes? (And God’s Amazing Grace.)

Wow, it’s been about a month and a half since I’ve done one of these posts. Time really does fly by. I can’t believe that it has actually been so long. Just wow.

Purposeful Pages Link-Up: November

Purposeful Pages is a monthly link-up designed to unite bloggers on answering questions about life, blogging, the Bible, writing, and books.

Well, this is the last Purposeful Pages that Hannah and Amanda will be doing. I have been very happy to participate and am just a little be sad to see it go, but I totally understand.

(And I know that it is December. But I didn’t have to time to do this in November, so I’m doing it now.)
