Hope Never Comes From a Leprechaun

In: Building Hope on: May 15, 2016

Hope is not something we naturally think about building. We can find or lose hope. Hope can be destroyed or recovered. But hope is usually built. And that is precisely the problem. We believe hope is akin to treasure at the end of a rainbow, as if some mythical munchkin will say, “Fresh out of …

Practical Thoughts on Depression

In: Building Hope, What's Normal? on: September 2, 2013

Remember I told you last week this piece of the Internet has my name, but wouldn't belong only to me? Well, I meant it...and today's post is proof. My close friend Christa Sterken wrote out of her own experience with depression and allowed me to share it here. If you struggle with depression, or …

Not Always Hope, Not Never Hope, But Sometimes Hope

In: Faith, What's Normal?, Writing on: February 11, 2013

I have had a few people ask me why the name of this blog is Sometimes Hope. “If we are called to trust God all the time,” the question starts, “why isn’t your title Always Hope or maybe Keeping the Hope?” I even struggled with this a bit myself. After some thought, here are three reasons I can only …

When God Sucker Punches You

In: Faith, Fear, What's Normal? on: January 15, 2013

I couldn’t even believe what I was hearing. The medical diagnosis was shocking. Something I was not prepared for emotionally. I’d just been sucker punched. I could look back on the last few years and see how the symptoms fit what had been happening in my life. That didn’t mean it made sense for me …

What is NORMAL?

In: What's Normal? on: December 14, 2012

I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to the word normal, for a few reasons. I have well-meaning individuals in my life who keep asking me, “When will you stop having seizures and get back to normal?” I have to remind them that I am an epileptic, and this IS normal for me. To them, normal seems …

Then God said, “Go to this 10-Hour Meeting?” “Ummm….God….I Don’t Mean to Complain, But….Are You Sure This is What You Meant By Full Time Ministry?”

In: Building Hope, Family on: December 5, 2012

Sometimes, following God’s plans for our life does not turn out exactly like we imagined. I remember being in Bible college over a decade ago and hearing someone in chapel say this: “In 15 years, less than 75% of you will still be in full-time ministry. So think of your 3 closest friends. If you …

The Devil’s Favorite Words

In: Faith, Fear, What's Normal? on: November 21, 2012

As we come up on Thanksgiving, I’m still in a pretty heavy place because of my seizures, but I got some insight into why this evening. It’s because I have been listening a bit too much to the devil’s favorite words – What If? I have my first neurology appointment on Monday, and a lot could change …

We misunderstand HOPE

In: Building Hope, Faith on: October 26, 2012

This has been a tough week for me, so I was thinking last night about hope and feeling a little sorry for myself in the process. As I started spiraling a bit into sadness, I was brought up short when I realized that I was not focusing on my true hope…and I am pretty sure that I’m not alone. Hope is …
