Psalm 139:7-8
Sheol: basically, the grave; being swallowed up in death

Who am I?
I am Hannah, a firstborn daughter, one fascinated with animal life, a lover of colors, a flutist, an aunt...but under-weaving it all, I am a child of the Living God.
This was not always so. In times past, I was cut apart from the Holy One by my wicked heart, under condemnation as a rebel against the Eternal King of all Creation. But even so, He loved me and sent His Son to pay the price for my pardon. Jesus Christ stands, offering forgiveness and life and righteousness. I have come, and trusted Him to make them mine.
Who am I?
I am Hannah, firstborn of God by adoption into Jesus Christ, one delighted in the handiwork of my Creator, a lover of the Bible, a singer of praises, a promised victor...
Who are you?
Psalm 139:5-6
Ever feel like running away and hiding from everyone? It doesn’t work with God. Even in the quiet, He’s there. He hasn’t let go.
Psalm 139:3-4
Not only does God know all my doings, none of them surprise Him. He knows before they come.
Psalm 139:1-2
I am never alone–God is always there, He always sees. He knows my every outward move, and can see the inside, too. Nothing is ever lost from His eyes.

Backpacking
When I was sixteen, I was a camper at Outdoor Week. One could pick either a week of backpacking or a week of canoeing, and I picked backpacking. Knowing it would be hard work, I prepared by loading up a backpack we had at home with books and taking walks with it throughout the spring.… Read More Backpacking
Abecedarian Christmas
Angels flood the sky with light. “Behold the King who comes tonight: Christ, anointed for the the task, Declaring war with God is past.” Every man there shakes in fear From the messenger they hear. “Glory be to God on high! Hear the sign of Savior nigh: In a manger you will see Jesus, wrapped… Read More Abecedarian Christmas
Singing Statutes
“Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.” Psalm 119:54 When I read through Psalm 119, the psalmist’s eulogies on the word of God and his love for it tend to overwhelm and dishearten me when compared to how my own affections fall short. It’s not just the promises and blessings… Read More Singing Statutes
Not by Sight
Faith. Believing, trusting that something is so, even when you cannot see it. Faith does not make something so–it doesn’t matter how hard I believe that fence is not electric, if it is, it will still shock me when I touch it. God is true, whether or not anyone believes, and He does what He… Read More Not by Sight
