When Dreams Come Crashing Down.

When Dreams Come Crashing Down.

Some of you may have known that for the past year our family has prepared for a year in Ethiopia. I was called to teach at a theological seminary there. Then the pandemic happened and our year was first postponed and then canceled altogether due to financial difficulties of the Mission organization. Perhaps needless to say, our family was shocked. All our dreams for a year in Africa came crashing down. How did we take it? And how do you…

God Is Greater than Your Mistakes

I don’t know about you but for a long time I was afraid I could mess up God’s plans for me. The fear was real and it somewhat paralyzed my decisionmaking process. But blessedly, God did not leave me to live in fear. He reminded me of his awesomeness. So I am happy to tell you God is greater than your mistakes. God’s will is not dependent on us. With the words of Lysa TerKeurst “God’s promises are not dependent…

How to Deal with Uncertainties

How to Deal with Uncertainties

Comments 2 comments

We claim to trust God yet we don’t act like it. We stress about everything when we could pray and trust God to solve all the matters that bother us. Sometimes I’m better with uncertainties, sometimes I catch myself wishing for a security cushion against the world instead of praying for God’s will and protection. What about you? How do you deal with uncertainties? I have tried all kind of tricks to deal with uncertainties but I have found only one…

Learning to Adapt to Change

Learning to Adapt to Change

Comments 4 comments

How do you adapt to changes happening in your life? Change is hard and because life is nothing but change we need to somehow adapt to change. Some people have better ways to cope than others. At least, they are less destructive ways to adapt to changes. But learning to adapt to changes is a very important life skill. Or faith skill as I think of it. Learning to adapt to change… I’m sure you’ve realized that change is inevitable in…

Grace in Practice

Grace in Practice

Comments 8 comments

We can waste so much time on regretting things or wishing things were different. Or we might live in continual shame that incapacitates us, keeps us from becoming what we were meant to be. So if you’ve ever heard of God being merciful for his children, it’s time to put grace in practice. And if you haven’t heard about grace, it’s about time somebody tells you the good news of Jesus Christ. You see, grace is not a dogma to believe…

Healing Words for a Broken Heart

Healing Words for a Broken Heart

Comments 3 comments

Do you feel like you heart is breaking? I am sorry to hear that. No matter what has caused your broken heart, help is near. You are not alone. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted     and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34: 18, NIV,*) I can testify for this. Nothing will separate you from God. Nothing at all. Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have…

Goodbye to the Old and Hello to the New

Comments 4 comments

Are you ready to say goodbye to the old and hello to the New Year? There’s two Bible verses to help us deal with the change. The first one is very familiar and the second one little less so. But they help us to say goodbye to the old and hello to the new into our lives. First of all, we all mess up. No matter how hard we try we don’t quite succeed. The trick here is not to…

Grace Filled Exit

Grace Filled Exit

Comments 7 comments

Are you full of regrets of this year? Are you mad at yourself not doing more, achieving more or enjoying more? Are you looking for a graceful exit? How about a grace filled exit instead? You see, hindsight is always 20/20. It is easy to say what one should have done. It is clear how things should have turned out. But life is not about hindsight. Life is about leaning on God and giving our messes to Jesus.We can’t see…
