    A Song for the Heart in Need of Hope

    by Lois Flowers February 5, 2017
    by Lois Flowers

    We’ve been plowing some tender soil around here lately, holding fast to truths about God’s timing and presence even as we contemplate the uncertainty and feelings of inadequacy that loom in our lives.

    Maybe what we need most, as we move forward on this journey, is hope. Hope that God is sovereign. Hope that He is faithful, that what He’s doing in and around us has purpose, that He holds us in the palm of His hand and won’t let go.

    Thankfully, we do have this hope–because of Jesus.

    He, truly, is our only hope.

    Today, it’s my prayer that “I Have This Hope” by Tenth Avenue North encourages your heart like it has encouraged mine.

    The Monday before Christmas, I was at home by myself. It was early in the day, and I was feeling unsettled and a bit lonely. I can’t pinpoint an exact cause for these feelings. The stress of the season? A combination of circumstances and unknowns over which I had little …

  • When You’re Feeling Overwhelmed and Inadequate

    A few weekends ago, I had a dream. I don’t often have dreams—not that I remember anyway. Sometimes I can recall fleeting images, and occasionally I wake up with my heart pounding after being chased or because I forgot to do something important. This time, though, I actually remember the …

  • “The Broken Way” Provides a Way Forward

    I wasn’t planning to use Ann Voskamp’s latest book as the basis for an Author Note (the closest thing to a book review that you’ll find on this blog). But when I finished reading and started looking at the bits and pieces that struck deep chords with me, I realized I …

  • My One Word for 2017

    I knew what my OneWord for 2017 was going to be early last fall. I normally wouldn’t even think about such things until December, but when I started hearing a new song on the radio by a group called Jesus Culture, I just knew. At the time, choosing this particular …

  • What’s Making My “Heart Squeeze” Today

    When I’m reading books, I notice words that authors repeat frequently. Years ago, for example, I read a volume of inspirational romance novellas from the Crossings Book Club. I don’t recall any of the authors, I just remember that a character in one of them “sniffed appreciatively” at least three …

Welcome

Welcome

As long as we’re here on planet Earth, God has a good purpose for us. This is true no matter how old we are, what we feel on any given day or what we imagine anyone else thinks about us. It can be a struggle, though, to believe this and live like it. It requires divine strength and eternal hope. And so I write, one pilgrim to another, in an effort to encourage us both as we navigate the long walk home together.
