The Path I Follow

/

I believe our lives have a purpose. Even if you believe that God could never make anything out of you, I believe He gives each of us a story that is unique and can be used for something beautiful. In my blogs I invite you into parts of my story and how God has used circumstances in my life to draw me into a deeper relationship with Him, to remind me who I truly am, and to grow my faith in Him. My hope is that no matter what season you are in, that you will have a renewed sense of Hope, and purpose in who He created you to be.

A Quote To Encourage You:

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11

Bible Weigh Station

/

We cannot hope to live Biblically unless we learn to think Biblically. Weigh Station is a place to examine some teachings, assumptions, behaviors, judgments. The goal is not to silence, shame, or condemn anyone, but to find what is right and grasp hold of it: “Do not quench the Spirit, do not despise prophesying, but test everything; hold fast what is good, abstain from every form of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22, RSV).

A Quote To Encourage You:

“Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said.” -- 1 Corinthians 14:29, NIV

Shout for Joy

Picture1.png

It’s no secret that the world is full of sadness. We only have to turn on the TV, sign into social media, or even look around our own lives to see it.

But God didn’t make us to be sad. He wants us to have life to the full, and deep joy that is not dependent on circumstance.

I’m tired of being told by society that I would be happier if I was prettier, taller, more athletic, more successful, had a nicer home, better hair and better abs, knew more people, travelled more or got married. My joy should not come from any of these things. My joy comes from the Lord, and it should pervade every part of the messy, uncomfortable, hilarious, breath-taking, glorious life He has given me.

I truly believe that what we read and hear impacts who we are and the value we place on ourselves and those around us. In this blog, I hope to do nothing more or less than encourage you. I don’t pretend to be very wise, or even have my own life in any semblance of order, but if I can be a positive noise in the din of your life today, I will be happy.

A Quote To Encourage You:

When you walk through fire you will not be burned (Isaiah 43:2).

I write devotionals to lift up and encourage. I also share interviews with Christian people who are using their talents and those working for the Kingdom of God. From time to time I share some of my own fictional stories.

A Quote To Encourage You:

Rev. 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Walking Together on Holy Ground

Breckenridge-9.jpg

This blog is about knowing God not only intellectually, but also experientially:

Sitting in His presence as Mary of Bethany did

Observing His character as revealed in the Bible

Sensing the moment-by-moment adventure of His direction

Sharing His sense of humor as He reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously

Then, sharing with each other as we walk together on holy ground

We will find that the vibrant, feeling-level relationship with God is what satisfies the deepest longings we have. He truly is the One we long for most.

A Quote To Encourage You:

One of many favorites: "Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul." - Thomas Merton

30 Second Thoughts

You might ask ‘Why 30 Second Thoughts?’. Glad you asked. Well I have a short attention span and like to quickly skim through things like this. So each post will be a quick reflection on thoughts that I have on life or truths which God is teaching me.

A Quote To Encourage You:

Ephesians 2:8-9

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast

We all have a big kingdom calling and purpose. We’re works in progress, constantly prepared and aimed by God toward that call. 1Glories is Chad Gramling’s response to his call on my life. It’s a way to help others pursue a “refining life, on purpose” as he seeks it, too. You’ll be challenged and encouraged to pursue greater desires while responding to the nudging urgency of God in your life.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased! ~ Luke 2:14
