    It’s the Little Things…

    Tweet God has taught me so much lately about this topic. He’s helped me to realize all the little things He brings into my life as sources of encouragement. So many times, people will go out of their way to say hi or write me a little note and it makes my whole day. Or I’ll come home and there will be a letter or e-mail from one of my CIT buds, and it will be the biggest encouragement. Just this morning, one of my dear friends brought me cookies and a note. It was one of the nicest things that could have happened, but it wasn’t a huge drawn…

    My Utmost For His Highest

    Tweet “Beware of living according to your natural affections in your spiritual life. Everyone has natural affections-some people we like and others we don’t like.

    Random Opening Thought

    Tweet Eventually, my English class is going to do this as a project, but to ease my mind from studying I decided to start one. I will try to update it and add to it as often as possible. I received a letter from a friend today and she mentioned getting to the point where she had no hope, and it got me thinking. Why do people often seem to get so down, there seems to be no way out? I’m sure God did not plan things this way, so I started looking. Psalm 130:7 says, “O Israel, hope in the Lord; For with the Lord there is lovingkindness, and…
