I realize it might seem strange to discuss Revelation in a post about Easter, but I see a clear connection between the events described in Revelation and the events described in the gospels. When Jesus lived on Earth, He said He would (1) die (2) rise from the dead (3) return. The gospels make it clear that He fulfilled the first two promises. While we wait for Him to fulfill the third promise, we need to know and believe the truth. In this post, I’ll focus on four specific truths about His coming that are in Revelation 22.
Why I Like “Flowers” by Samantha Ebert
I recently heard a song called “Flowers” on a Christian radio station, and it’s one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard. The music in it is amazing, but so are the lyrics. Samantha Ebert finds the balance between raw honesty and genuine hope. It almost feels like she wrote “Flowers” just for me—and maybe you’ll feel the same way after you listen to it.
Lessons from the Long Haul: My 9-Year Blogiversary
It’s been nine years since I started Tizzie’s Tidbits of Truth. It’s been almost three years since Real Recovery was published. It’s been over a year since I started seeking a publisher for my second (yet-to-be-published) book. And while I certainly haven’t learned everything about writing, I have learned this: It’s. A. Long. Haul.
1 Thing I Struggle to Remember While Waiting for Marriage
Okay, so there are actually many things I struggle to remember while waiting for marriage, but this is one of the biggest. I’ve written other other posts about marriage and how it points to the marriage celebration of Christ and the Church (as described in Revelation). An earthly marriage between a fallen man and woman is a foretaste of what’s to come—but it’s only a foretaste.
To the Girl Who Regrets Breaking Up with Her Boyfriend
I’m going to be honest with you: I’ve never gone through a breakup, so I don’t know how much it hurts or how long it takes to feel better. But if you’ve broken up with your boyfriend and you regret it, my heart goes out to you. And my hope is that this post will encourage you to keep moving forward instead of turning back.
Don’t Give Up on Love
This idea of not giving up on love (i.e., not despairing as a single girl) has been on my mind a lot lately. Sadly, many single girls do give up on love—which leads them to become bitter and resentful. Sometimes it even leads them to settle for guys who aren’t God’s best for them. So I wrote this poem about not giving up on love to encourage my fellow single girls—and to encourage my future husband.
To the Girl Who Feels Like God Is Holding Out on Her
But. I did hear something in a sermon several months ago that has changed my perspective on why God “withholds” good things from us—and it’s something that you need to hear, too.
Interview with Cally Logan
Christmas is almost here, and TTT is doing something special to celebrate! Today's post is a video interview I recently did with my author friend (and fellow single girl) Cally Logan. In this video, she shares her favorite (and least favorite) parts of Christmas, plus some ideas to make it extra-special. I know you'll enjoy watching this!
Glorified in Our Faith: My 8-Year Blogiversary
Later this week, TTT will turn eight years old. Though each blogiversary post I've written has been a bit different, they normally have a common theme: my writing dreams (i.e., how I hope to achieve them, what God is teaching me through them, etc.). This blogiversary post celebrating eight years of TTT posts follows that theme.
