The Surpassing Worth of Christ

December 10, 2017August 23, 2020 / Erin Schmidt / 2 Comments

The other day, I had my last exam of my semester. Unfortunately, I didn’t do as well as I had hoped and while I will still end up doing well in the class, it may break my streak of getting all A’s at Ohio State. It has bothered me for the last few days because … Continue reading The Surpassing Worth of Christ

Through the fire He will never let us go

October 13, 2017November 17, 2019 / Erin Schmidt / 2 Comments

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since … Continue reading Through the fire He will never let us go

Joy in Unlikely Places

“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1: 8-9 This week I was thinking … Continue reading Joy in Unlikely Places

Strive for love

April 24, 2017November 17, 2019 / Erin Schmidt / Leave a comment

The other night I went to see a highly-accomplished speaker, Sander Flaum. In fact, I don’t know if I had ever been in the presence of anyone who had accomplished so many things. After graduating from Ohio State and receiving his MBA degree, he spent a few years in the military. He then went on … Continue reading Strive for love

Lord, bring me pain

March 30, 2017 / Erin Schmidt / Leave a comment

“The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:17-18) I am in an interesting season of life right now. For the first time since I can really remember, I don’t have … Continue reading Lord, bring me pain

This is God’s Story

March 20, 2017November 17, 2019 / Erin Schmidt / Leave a comment

  “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these … Continue reading This is God’s Story

Life is Precious

February 10, 2017 / Erin Schmidt / Leave a comment

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my … Continue reading Life is Precious

We are comforted to comfort others

January 19, 2017February 2, 2020 / Erin Schmidt / Leave a comment

"Often, we endure trials seeking God's deliverance from them. Suffering is painful for us to endure or to see those we love endure. While our instinct is to flee trials, remember that even in the midst of suffering, God's will is being done." –Paul Chappell Soon after becoming a Christian, I was listening to a … Continue reading We are comforted to comfort others

Thank you for the lonely times

January 12, 2017November 17, 2019 / Erin Schmidt / Leave a comment

The lord is my Shepherd, I lack nothing. –Psalm 23:1 The other week I found myself in this beloved psalm with a heavy and uneasy heart.  It’s something I turn to because I know it’s comforting and it has calmed me before.  However, I have not turned to it enough times to always remember what it … Continue reading Thank you for the lonely times

Unshakable Identity

November 14, 2016November 17, 2019 / Erin Schmidt / Leave a comment

“Once I got the gold, it didn’t matter…I felt like the damage was done. I had given 200 percent that day in competition and laid it out on the floor, but I felt I had failed the world. I felt like since the world saw me as being nothing else, then if I failed at … Continue reading Unshakable Identity
