Psalm 38 – Is your life falling apart?

David was sick – he had sinned – his friends all avoided him – his enemies were out to see his ruin – these burdens were “too heavy to bear” – he was “utterly crushed” and his heart anguished. And yet, he declares – “I will wait for you, O Lord, you WILL answer, O Lord my God.” (Ps.38:15) In the end of the Psalm he asks God to “not forsake me . . . not … Read entire article »

Feeling Hopeless & Helpless in a Dark Time? No way out?

Hopeless and Helpless Every person who has walked the face of this earth has most likely experienced a time in their life that felt dark.

Wow! Has it really been over 2 months since I last posted something? It’s been on my “list of things to do” every day. . . . but as the summer months began and school let out for my 5 kids, it’s been a whirlwind of activity here. On top of planning for a missions trip, we’ve had Vacation Bible School, swim lessons, a retreat for my daughter, and a crazy adventure-of-a-vacation in the mountains – camping in torrential rain and wind (thank goodness for a laundry room and hairdryer!), living with deer and skunks on our campsite (the skunks would walk around under our feet – not caring we were there!), seeing a bear (from a distance and safely inside my car), touring underground caverns, and even a tubing … Read entire article »
