Endless Skies
Why, God, would you allow this pain? Why don’t you just heal? Some days, I ask Him these questions. One day when I asked Him, He responded, and His response was quite unexpected.
the painful life
Life is full of pain, conflict, issues, and suffering. We all experience heartaches and face struggles in life, and sooner or later, we will go through life-shattering experiences. This page, this corner of my blog, is dedicated to any wrestling through my own pain and suffering, disappointment I face, through the heartaches I see around me, and my attempt in making sense of that in my faith in Jesus and His kingdom.
Every word here comes with a breathed prayer that somehow, all of this will lead me, and you, closer to Him.
What If Our Brokenness Is His Mercy?
The Old Testament talks a lot about famines and people that are dying. Often, it seems like God’s punishment. I don’t know what it is, but I am asking a question about it: What if through that brokenness, He is showing us His mercy?
Rainbow Promises
With every rainbow we see, we get to remember a promise made by God thousands of years ago. A promise that still stands today, and that gives us reason to trust in Him, despite everything going on.
Tiny Screams
Tiny screams is the tale of a morning walk where the voices of destruction were shouting so loudly at me that I wasn’t able to hear any truth anymore. There was only one thing I could think of doing.
Crossroads
Life is a journey that comes with seasons of pain, a pain which always has its roots in love. During those seasons, we encounter different crossroads that lead us either one way or another. With this, I’m pondering those crossroads.
Defeat. Defeat. Defeat.
Defeat is the word that’s been hammering through my brain lately. Friend, I need your help. Or maybe, you feel like that, too - then we need each other’s help. Come over here and join me as we look square into the eyes of this defeat.
One Billion Broken Seashells
Seashells on the shore are like us: a lot of us broken, not many whole. But despite the circumstances we are given in life, we want to leave a mark. We want to escape our pain and brokenness. That restoration can only be found in Jesus.
Of Darkness And Light: Light Breaking Through Us
In this new year, as Christmas is over, I need to remember that Christmas was only the beginning. I want to remember that Jesus will always bring light to my darkness, and that darkness brought to light will always bring relief.
Of Darkness And Light: The Light Around Us
There is a light that let’s darkness disappear. It’s not always easy. But the hope of His light always makes our situations better. That is the wonder of Christmas.
Darkness And Light: The Darkness Within Us
There are days and times when the darkness within me seems to weight me down. Times, when life seems void of any light at all, where finding light seems impossible. But there is a light, which gives us hope. Even on those days.
