My Life in Our Father's World

Where Do You Abide?

I came across the phrase “compare and dispair.” today. The context was how dangerous it is to measure yourself against online personas of others.

The world tells us we have to measure up to some impossible imaginary standard. Satan whispers, “you will never be good enough.” The lie leads to the complete loss or absence of hope (Oxford Dictionary).

Dispair is letting the darkness of sin blot out the joy of walking in the light of God’s grace.
John 12:46 (NKJV) says “I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.”

I believe that God has a unique plan for each of us. In January 2018, I was called to radically change many things in my life. In October of 2019, I completed an 18-month program to be a jail & prison chaplain. I also transitioned from administrative work to driving a school bus for Head Start. I am a wife and mother with 2 adult children. God encouraged me to start this blog, so I write when & what he directs me to. This blog is constantly evolving. I am currently in a season of reading and reviewing books, and writing about causes/services that I believe in.

  1. So true. God asks us never to compare ourselves with another because that’s a sin in His sight. 2 Corinthians 10:12. Each of us are unique in our own ways and His masterpiece 😊❤️
