While I’m on blog hiatus, I’m re-posting some entries from my archives. Lord willing, I’ll be back to writing new content in a few weeks - see you then!
I’m a girly girl in many ways, but not when it comes to shopping. I don’t mind window shopping, and I love book shopping (even though my [...]

While I’m on blog hiatus, I’m taking a leaf from Shannon and re-posting some entries from my archives. Lord willing, I’ll be back to writing new content in a few weeks - see you then!
Earlier today, I read this entry from the Girl Talk archives. I thought, “Oh, I know someone who that would apply to. [...]

My remaining readers - the few and the faithful - may have noticed a slight drop in my posting frequency over the last couple of weeks. I think I’ve been taking a blog hiatus while telling myself that I’m not really taking one, because there are few things that will kill a blog more than taking [...]

I like The Rebelution and the Harris’ brothers “teenage rebellion against low expectations,” and something I particularly like about their mission is that they focus on the importance of small hard things. In a recent entry, they discuss this issue again with a quotation from young blogger Tim Sweetman:
Many young Christians long for Christian “stardom,” [...]

My title for this entry was inspired by the children’s book at left. (Children and books… that’s basically the summary of my life right there. ) If you’ve been reading Hope Road for longer than two minutes, you’ve probably noticed that I like to read - and that would be a slight understatement.
However, I think [...]

At work (daycare), today was library day. I went with the school-agers and another teacher. A librarian read the kids a couple of stories. Both of them were about fairy tales, and both were a little… non-traditional.
During the battle scene in the second book, the princess saved the prince by sweeping him up into her arms and taking [...]

I wrote most of this a few weeks ago during naptime for the kids. I was wanting to escape into the safety of the Word, yet feeling how small my little Bible was compared to the overwhelming environment surrounding me. But that was only an illusion - really, these words convey the truth of the universe, [...]

I was reading Psalm 94 recently. I especially love these verses:
“For the Lord will not forsake His people; He will not abandon His heritage… If the Lord had not been my help, my soul soon would have lived in the land of silence. When I thought, ‘My foot slips,’ Your steadfast love, O Lord, held me [...]

“For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:20-21).
I look forward to the day when the creation itself will [...]

I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’ve ever done a post on food before. However, this post on 22 Words cracked me up because I relate to it so much. In college, I’d make mac and cheese or Ramen noodles (when I wasn’t making my gourmet dish of pitas and hummus ). [...]
