About Coffee With Emily

Welcome to Coffee With Emily! :) I am so glad you dropped by. 
My name is Emily and I currently reside in the state of Texas. I am a lover of Jesus Christ; He has my whole heart and life. This blog is to proclaim His name and tell of all the things He has done in my life and taught me. I am passionate about worship and learning more about the Lord through His creation and His Word.

 I serve with a ministry called "Gospel for Asia" and get to be a part of seeing thousands come into the kingdom of God through the work that's being done on the mission field. I serve in an office that gets to do all the behind the scenes work for thousands of missionaries in Asia. 

 This blog is called "Coffee With Emily" because I want it to be as if I were able to just sit with you, make you some coffee and share what He has been doing in my life. 

 So please make yourself a good strong cup of coffee (or tea for those of you who dislike coffee (I'm so sorry that you live life without it - it's my favorite)) and sit a while. Feel free to ask any questions you have! :) 

 Blessings, 

 Emily

Healing Through Surrender

I woke up late in the morning –  the accusations fresh in my head “You aren’t good enough. You can’t get passed this. You’ll never have the victory.” I screamed in the shower and started to cry. Why would this come up again at this time? I was under the weight of all of the chaos surrounding my life. I couldn’t take this added weight – I was being crushed. I tried to erase the thoughts, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t. I heard a faint whisper “Come away with Me, Emily” I quickly grabbed my key, headphones, phone, water bottle, Bible, journal, pen and walked out the door. I tend to have long conversations with God when I'm outside. (Praise the Lord for 77 degree weather in PA in February! What?!) I went to a park near the apartment I was staying at and sat by the river.  Photo by Emily Hart I, for some reason, blared a song I’d written the year before and the words “ So hold me tightly and wrap me in Your arms ” kept resounding in my heart….and...

Come Away With Me

"Now in the morning, having risen long before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed" (Mark 1:35)  "And when Jesus has sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray." (Matthew 14:23)  "So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed" (Luke 5:16)  This season has not been an easy one. There are times when I just want to crawl into a corner and never face people or life again. I've begun to process the things that have been going on in my life and it's messy and painful. I would rather not deal with it if I'm honest with you and myself. I want to shove it into a box and bury it - but growth doesn't happen unless we get to the root of the problem and allow Jesus to heal it. As seen in the accounts of Jesus' life - He realized that He couldn't walk in this life without the Father and I am beginning to understand the same thing. I can't get thro...

While the Moon Shines Through the Windows

Sometimes you just have to accept reality. Like right now.....I am awake at 1:14 am and have to be up in 4 hours - but my brain is fully alert and the last three hours of trying to sleep hasn't worked. So I might as well do something useful with my time. The reality is that I probably shouldn't have had a cup of coffee at 9:30 pm....but it sounded way too good to say 'no' to it paring perfectly with my gluten-free chocolate cake. But "reality", however, sometimes isn't what we can see. At times we just have to have faith even when His promises can't be seen in our lives today. I've been thinking a lot about the characters in the Bible and their every day life. We only get glimpses of what happened. We don't get to see the minute by minute struggles they went through. How they wrestled....how they made it through....what things did they keep in front of them to keep going? I would love to just have a month to walk around with Abraham and s...
