Welcome to Upper Room Notes – a space born from quiet reflection and a deep desire to explore the gentle, yet profound, truths that shape our existence.
My writing flows from a place of deep contemplation, informed by the rich tapestry of life’s lessons, the illuminating insights that emerge from everyday conversations, and the timeless wisdom shared from the pulpit. These moments invariably awaken questions, gratitude, and an enduring hope within me. Here, I commit these experiences to words – a practice of holding onto them, learning from their depths, and sharing the quiet revelations they unveil.
My Purpose: To Build, Encourage, and Live with Intent
At its heart, “Upper Room Notes” exists for a singular, vital purpose: to build up and encourage one another through the living Word of God. In a world clamoring for our attention, it’s easy to lose sight of why we are truly here. This blog is a gentle reminder that our lives are not limitless; they are precious, time-bound, and imbued with a divine purpose.
We are created not for endless striving after fleeting achievements, but for a foundational and specific purpose – a calling that resonates through scripture:
- “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)
- “The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” — Ecclesiastes 12:13 (ESV)
Through thoughtful exploration of scripture and personal reflection, this space aims to anchor us in these eternal truths. It’s an invitation to pause, to listen, and to discern the path God has prepared for each of us, understanding that every moment holds significance within His grand design.
