"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the [...]

God Sees You
Some months ago, I was going through a particularly hard patch and was feeling so weary and needy. I was crying out to the Lord in my need, but for a while it didn't feel like He was particularly near or seem like He was coming through. During that time, I was reminded of a [...]
What I Learned from doing Camp with Chronic Illness
In January, I had the sweet privilege of attending a girls camp called Renew. For many of the girls I know, this camp is an annual highlight, and many of the leaders are young ladies who are friends of mine I've grown up with. I had been once before and had been challenged and encouraged [...]
“My Grace is Sufficient for You” (When God doesn’t Fix it)
"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said [...]

Knowing Jesus
Philippians 3:7-11 are life verses for me. Not favourite verses (they honestly can seem somewhat scary) but life verses because God keeps bringing them up in my life, and teaching me the truths in them, and they accentuate what I want my life to be about - knowing Jesus. Here's the verses: "But whatever gain [...]
Hello Again!
Hello friends! I know, I haven't made much progress in writing for this blog since I began it back in December, but to be honest, with my illnesses I've found writing so much harder than I thought it would be. It's frustrating because I want to write, I love to write, yet I can't, at [...]
The Lord is Mightier
I thought I would begin these posts with a short word from this morning. It was a morning that ushered in the end of a wakeful night, and began what would be another difficult day of intense fatigue and pain and bed-rest. Yet these verses have been a comfort to me today: "The floods have [...]
