I think about the value of hope very very frequently. I mean the name of this blog is HOPENAME after all. I think about hope because it is the tinder spark that everyone underestimates. It is the seed that becomes a mighty oak. It is that breath that breathes upon the broken and convinces them that tomorrow it’ll be alright and parts the clouds of the weary-hearted. I think about hope...

Its interesting how much can change with familiarity. I’m sitting in this small coffee shop that I discovered in my town the other day where they are playing old American songs like “Moon River” and in my heart I feel a little happier. I think its because its familiar. I remember hearing Heidi Baker talk about how when Americans visited her on missions trips they would feel...

Things tend to make less sense when I’m happier. I think that might be nice. It makes me feel a little insane, like I’m in my own world. The truth is though, I’m not in my own world, I’m in another one entirely and it is also inhabited by other people and and and and they’re not people sometimes too and sometimes not visible. I was reading in the Bible in John either...
Today there was this thing that happened. I think it was a conversation. I think, I’m not sure. It might have also been heart surgery, but who knows? Really.

True joy that makes me happy. Yes, I get the joy that is deep and sometimes resides in sadness, but there is also ...
I was just in a room full of Taiwanese missionaries. Granted, the conversation topic wasn’t the most interesting thing in the world, but being in there with them still caused a warm feeling in my heart.

What are your thoughts?
I want to have a discussion about the desires of your heart and every dream that you believe or don’t believe will happen. I’ve just been thinking about this today and the idea that all of the desires of my heart will be fulfilled. I want to live with an expectation that they will be, that God formed these things in my heart from before I was born and that I’ve been set up...
Good old fashioned post
God is good. I find that I’m always saying that after something intense goes on, but you know, it’s not because I feel relieved that the difficulty is finally over. I just think something happens in your heart when you realize that he is fighting on your side and has been in your midst, then you can’t help but rejoice and marvel. Are you really that good?
Yes and yes and yes and...
All I want is You and all I need is found only in Your heart.
Stillness is sometimes the wisest thing to do in the midst of the busy hullabaloos
