Over the next several days I’m going to be writing a mini series on how we are chosen by God. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, gods special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his…Read more

Day 32: You Are Named
Over this summer, I am working two part-time jobs, which means there are a lot of new people and faces around. And every coworker I meet has a name that I just CANNOT seem to remember. Talking to Kyli about what happened throughout the day, I sometimes just have to say things like, “You know…Read more
Day 31: You Are Healed
As many of you know, the project that I have been working on not just on my website but also in my personal life, is the concept of “More Than Physical Healing.” While having so many different frustrations regarding my autoimmune disease, I have been seeking true peace through emotional, social, and spiritual healing. We…Read more
Day 30: You Are Guided
“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps” (Proverbs 16:9, NIV). I think about the plans that I have made even in the past few days. And have they changed or what? At the beginning of my Fall 2019 semester, I had my entire day planned. I was upset by…Read more

Day 28: You Are Secure
“Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes” (Psalm 112:6-8, NIV). I was trying to…Read more
Day 27: You Are Safe
“The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10, NIV). The idea of a fortified tower reminds me of the established rules of those who accidentally kill someone in the Old Testament. I don’t fully understand the ramifications behind what each of these scenarios might…Read more
Day 15: You Are Armored
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the…Read more
Day 14: You Are Here
Maybe it’s just me, but there are times when where I am at is the last place I want to be. This goes for life, moments, places, thoughts. And somehow, you don’t even realize how you got to where you are. It’s like you wandered to a situation, stumbled upon the present. If you’re like…Read more
