http://www.deborahspooner.com/2016/06/why-im-meaningless-of-single-handedly.html
Tell me a story. Friday, June 24, 2016. When It's Meaningless of single-handedly trying to change the world. If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world" (C. S. Lewis). The light brown, leathered seats of the (endearingly termed) fuel efficiently "leaf-eating"car supported my weight as the wheels turned along the road, the road leading straight to the city: the jewel of the midwest. Uhm, what is that? The sweetness...

Deborah Spooner: God's Will Doesn't Matter
http://www.deborahspooner.com/2016/03/god-will-doesn-matter.html
Tell me a story. Wednesday, March 9, 2016. Gods Will Doesnt Matter. What place should God’s will have in our lives? That’s a question I know I’ve asked and (let’s be real, here) am continually asking. We wonder all sorts of things about God’s will. Am I understanding His will correctly? Can I step outside of God’s will? How do I best know what God’s will actually is. For my life and what is just my. We have a lot of questions. Honestly, I don’t know how to perfectly answer any of those. Rejoice. Pray...

Established in Faith: Living In Truth
http://establishedinfaith.blogspot.com/2015/07/living-in-truth.html
Our society is built on the ideas of humanity. Such ideas are founded on the lies of the enemy, rather than the truth of God's Word. This world needs a revolution of truth, and the only way we, as Christians, can deflect the lies of the enemy that are hidden in the ways of the world, is to read, study, and live out the truths of the Bible. It's a shame. But it doesn't have to be this way. What would happen if, instead of having my cell phone besides my bed, I replaced it with my Bible instead? For you, i...

Deborah Spooner: Series | An Announcement
http://www.deborahspooner.com/2016/10/series-announcement.html
Tell me a story. Friday, October 28, 2016. What is being a Christian like for young, church-raised Americans today? This question isn't a unique inquiry into today's millennial generation. However, it is a crucial question as its implications have effects for both Christians and non-believers today. What misconceptions do young adults have about God, other people, themselves, and life that are (actually) keeping them from living "the good life for Jesus" even as they seek to do just that? What is affecti...

Your Reflection | Encouragement For Everyday Struggles
http://encouragementforeverydaystruggles.blogspot.com/2015/07/your-reflection.html
WHAT MY BLOG'S ABOUT. Have you ever taken a moment and looked at yourself in the mirror? Not just at your appearance, but looked deeper. Sometimes when I look in the mirror I don't see the reflection portrayed that I feel inside. I often feel that people don't see the real me when they look at me. There is so much more hidden beneath my appearance that others fail to see. What do you see? What does God see? Are you proud of who you are? So the next time you look in the mirror, look at yourself. Not j...
