Public diaries with Agatha. #KeepHopeAlive

  The God of Agatha And there he built an altar and named it El-Elohe-Israel (Genesis 33:20 NLT). We recently gathered in celebration of my friends  birthday. We laughed, made memories, and talked about all sorts of subjects. Occasionally we spoke about God. Someone told a story of God’s provision. Another shared openly how she was struggling with her faith. I enjoyed our conversations, especially when we talked about our Savior. On the way home I realized that while we had spoken about God, I hadn’t spent much time with God. There’s a difference between talking about someone and personally spending time with them. God reveals Himself to us so that we can draw near to Him. Jacob was a man in the Bible who knew about God but also wrestled with Him personally. He had a twin brother named Esau who was enraged when Jacob stole his birthright and blessing. Afraid for his life, Jacob ran away to find his mother’s relatives and married two sisters named Leah and Rachel. Their father ...

  I WILL NEVER FULLY UNDERSTAND My curiosity begs to understand life. My mind longs for logic. When I was a child, I asked a million questions, my older brothers can tell you. Why is the sky blue? Are all angels men? Why do bad things happen? Who created God? I wanted answers. I still do. Give me a story that grabs my attention at the beginning. Fill it with intrigue. Throw in some high conflict and drama in the middle and then catch the bad guys, tie up the loose ends and call it done. Cue the applause. Bring down the curtain. But don’t even think about leaving me hanging… and certainly don’t ask me to tune in next week for the missing story-pieces because I wont. Now that you’re clued in on a bit of my crazy, you can imagine how I reacted as a youngster when the concept of infinity was introduced in math class. Suit me up for a strait jacket and take me to a rubber room. I thought my math teacher was nuts. You mean I’m supposed to comprehend, work with, and accept something that ...

  Hey there! Can we talk? When I was young, I wished I was a grownup, I could always add 3 years to my age.Being a grown up seemed so much fun. As a village  girl I remember admiring people who lived in the city. Everything about them seemed superbomb, their dresses, accent, how they eat, hairstyles, everything about them was goals for me. I could wait to grow up and find a great job in the city. 10 years later, done with high school, don't joke with the new adult in town, city here I come ready for the good life my relatives in the city were enjoying. Bye bye village, see you once in a blue moon. Reaching the city- the paradise of my mind. Wait a minute, how comes they never said  of the hours spent on traffic jams, shared washrooms, expensive food and searching for work is work on its own. How comes people here are so hostile unlike in our village where I was a child of everyone, Is this what I have been admiring all that long, it is not worth it. Just like me I know th...
