Deeper
You are afraid to go to the deep end . . . I get it.
I was the girl who would stand at the edge of the ocean instead of stepping in when the rest of my family did. The irony is that many years later God led me to start a ministry called, “Seeing Deep”. As I began to blog in 2014, I realized that all of my writings were about going deeper in faith and trusting God in all of life’s painful moments. As much as I believed God, I also doubted whether He knew how much I could handle. It’s easy to say we want to go deeper, but when life hurts, will we still hope in Christ? That’s what this spot on the web is for . . . seeing the deeper purposes of God in our lives and a catalyst to inspire hope in God’s goodness. I love to explore the deeper meaning of topics like hope, shame, joy and relevant topics in our world through God’s word. We all encounter problems in this world but those problems are an opportunity to trust God in the deep places. Will you go to the deep end with me?

Finding Favor with God—October 26 Bible Reading Plan
Finding favor with God was not dependent upon Saul’s goodness or performance. It was just dependent upon God’s grace. So how do we find favor with God who shows no favoritism? We have favor with God just because of his incredible kindness.
The Search for Significance—October 25 Bible Reading Plan
The meaning of life. Ever wonder what the point of it all is, anyway? Since day one there has been the search for the meaning of life, which has always centered around man’s perspective in his own search for significance. But the problem with self-centered theology is that we cannot find any real answers there. And we will not find the answers in and of ourselves. Life’s biggest questions can only be answered by the Creator of life. And He has not left us without guidance. But He has placed a hunger in all of our souls to cause us to search, hopefully until we find Him and His precious word.
