In a Boat With Fear and Jesus
Picture this: Three girls are sitting in a canoe on windy waters. One of them is in the middle, clutching onto the sides of the boat for dear life as it tilts and bobs. Even though her friends are paddling and assuring her that everything is perfectly fine, she can’t stop shaking and singing “Oceans” by Hillsong. That girl is me. It sounds ridiculous now, considering how I was wearing a life jacket and was in a boat with two skillfully trained swimmers who I love and trust. But sitting in that canoe last weekend reminded me just how shaky and unstable this life can feel sometimes. Like a beautiful,…

Abundant Life
I’m just gonna’ say it. I feel like all I ever do is write posts for those times when life is overwhelming or falling apart. You know, the hard times. I’m an encouraging person, so writing posts that lift others up during their life battles is something that I love to do. I know God has used hard times to draw me closer to Him so that I could watch Him be glorified. I also hope the same can be said for you, lovely reader. But what about life’s good moments? Moments when new opportunities are on the horizon, or when accomplishments have been made. Moments when prayers are answered or…

How Fear Becomes Faith
I didn’t realize what a hypocrite I can be until I broke down in my room a couple of weeks ago. I was in the midst of making decisions about my education and the fear of the future was absolutely crippling. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t even write.

The only problem is that I didn’t feel like I could turn to God. I write a lot on overcoming anxiety and trusting God, so freaking out and having…

Believe Again
A Guest Post by Dainty M. It’s absolutely exhausting and distressing to believe something will happen and it doesn’t. Or to believe someone wouldn’t do something and they do. When unpleasant things happen and disappointments lace our days, it’s really hard to believe in anything. Some people have stopped believing in love because their experience with it left them heartbroken. Some don’t believe in God because they felt disappointed by Him when bad things happened. I’ve trusted and believed something will happen this year but hey, the 8th month is about to roll around, when will it happen? I’ve drowned in despair and to be honest, believing again is much…

But God…
Sometimes it’s hard to wait– It’s hard to get the news. It’s hard to have your plans change in an Instant as you crumble. But God can rebuild from this. He can raise you up From the rubble of your ashes. But God can transform you From dirt to gold. But God will keep you In the palm of His hand. Even when the world says no, But God. ~Emily @ fearfullywonderfullyme.wordpress.com (Please feel free to share with a link to this post and credit to me. Thanks!)
