Joseph stood in front of his brothers and told them that he saw how God used their horrible decision for His glory. Throughout this story, Joseph weeps a lot. He runs out of the room and weeps when he is interacting with his brothers who, years earlier, sold him into slavery. He weeps so loudly …
Writing Routines | A Writer’s Post
My secret for getting into a writing headspace is very simple: black coffee. The flavor, the smell, the heat, I have trained my brain to associate all of it with writing. One sip, and my mind knows it's time to focus. It works whether I'm sitting in a coffee shop, my kitchen or an airport. …
Deuteronomy 31:8 | A Verse A Day
You are never alone. Whatever direction you go, God is always with you. He already knows where you are going. He already knows what's ahead. God doesn't leave when things get hard or when your attitude gets bad. He can handle it. He stays right by your side. God doesn't change his mind about you. …
Exodus 10:12 | A Verse A Day

Psalm 8:3-4 | A Verse A Day
God created so much, yet he cares about us. It is humbling to place ourselves in the grand scheme of things. We are people, out of so many people. Humans are just one thing out of so many that God created. There is nothing we could do to make him care. He decided to. He …
Psalm 121: 2-3 | A Verse A Day
God is the source of our help. No situation in our life is too big for him. Nothing we go through catches his by surprise. He orders your steps to go the way he chooses, according to his plan. He is all-knowing and ever-present. Have you told God you trust his plan today? My help …
