Remembering

August 28, 2015 by Meredith 1 Comment

I love storytellers. (Which is good, because I am surrounded by them) Green family get togethers are just one story after another, and my side of the family also pulls out all the classic stories when we get together. (Never mention aardvarks to any relative of mine at Christmas-time…) Then my dad is a collector … [See more…]

How?

August 21, 2015 by Meredith 3 Comments

Forgiveness. All on its own, far away from us, it sounds harmless, easy, and refreshingly wonderful, doesn’t it? But when we have been deeply hurt, that changes fast. How is it possible to forgive in every circumstance? People do it. I have read stories and heard testimonies of wives forgiving unfaithful husbands. I have heard … [See more…]

8 Things to Be Thankful For

August 18, 2015 by Meredith 12 Comments

There is a man in our church who is just one of my favorite people. This man has white hair, hearing aids, and the brightest grin in the whole building. He always comes up to Benjamin and me with a joke or word of encouragement, and whenever you ask how he’s doing, he uses words … [See more…]

A Modern Day Parable

August 14, 2015 by Meredith Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Meredith. Now, this girl named Meredith was a very ambitious sort. She had just finished her semester at school and had before her a long and beautiful summer. “What shall I do with all of my time?” Meredith asked herself, twirling her naturally curly hair thoughtfully. … [See more…]

My Toothbrush Revelation

August 11, 2015 by Meredith 1 Comment

Yesterday morning, I was brushing my teeth when I was hit with a spiritual revelation. That’s right, a spiritual revelation struck me right in the gut while I was groggily brushing my teeth in the not-so-wee hours of the morning. As I moved my toothbrush up and down and back and forth, I was remembering … [See more…]

Little is Big Too

August 4, 2015 by Meredith Leave a Comment

There is something beautiful about tiny. Tiny toes. Tiny artwork. Tiny plants. Tiny frogs. Everything just seems cuter or more impressive when done in miniature. Except success. Benjamin and I are big dreamers. We want to change things, fix problems, and just make a really big impact on the world, especially for Christ. But we … [See more…]

Fear vs. Calling

July 28, 2015 by Meredith Leave a Comment

So, here’s the thing. In a recent post, we were talking about God’s calling and I mentioned Benjamin and his future job. Now, on top of that, we are wondering about the future of the Wicket Gate, classes, adding minors, semester jobs… We want to be following God in all of these things, but figuring … [See more…]

A Letter to You: Have Hope

July 24, 2015 by Meredith Leave a Comment

Dear Lovely Wicket Gate Readers, Do you ever wonder about hope? That real Biblical hope that we’re told can lift us out of ourselves, lift out of this life, and lift us out of this world? Do you ever wonder how we really feel that? Where we are supposed to find it? And do you … [See more…]

21 Verses for When You’re Just Feeling Happy!

July 21, 2015 by Meredith Leave a Comment

As much as we may love the Bible, I think we oftentimes think of turning to it only when we feel the need for comfort or strength or direction. I know I have been guilty of that. But the Bible is also so full of joy and happiness and excitement! Who should be more filled … [See more…]
