MAKING SPACE FOR POSSIBILITY
It is the openness to deepening trust and ultimately more joy that makes all the difference.
UNASHAMED
Sometimes wrestling fear is as futile as wrangling a toddler into fancy clothes for a picture. What if we stopped allowing that fear to control us?
TO REJOICE WITH GLADNESS
During the Christmas season, we wait in joyful anticipation for Jesus’ coming.
HOW DID I DO IT?
Even when I didn’t recognize it, God stood by my side being anything from a shadow to a bright light whenever I needed it even when I didn’t know I needed it.
FAITH OVER FEAR
When my prayers are less desperate lamentations, and more listening, God’s voice is that much clearer: I love you. I trust you. Please trust Me.
I HELD YOU
Today, for just one moment, I had the privilege of holding another family, and allowing them to hold me and my family.
SURPRISED BY JOY
Joy is something that sneaks up on us. It surprises us, often through gratitude for ordinary blessings.
THROUGH THE VEIL
Let us turn our eyes to Jesus to allow ourselves simply be with Jesus and savor in the hope that Christ brings.
WAY MAKER
What if, instead of preparing for the things of Christmas, we slowed down a bit and took time to prepare our hearts?
LIFE RING OF TRANSFORMATION
God of transformation, may we heed Mary’s example to be open to your dream for us, thus making You become more alive in this world.
GRACE THROUGH SURRENDER
What lenses need to be removed in order for me to see Your love and grace?
FAITHFUL FLOCK
The particular joy of finding that lost sheep becomes all the more beautiful because there is a flock to rejoin!
THE NEW ROARING 20s
Just like Mary, we all have moments when we imagine a future full of despair in spite of all the incredible things that await us.
TO WELCOME AND BE WELCOMED AS CHRIST
We are preoccupied with Christmas things, but are we just as preoccupied with why Christ came?
WAITING AND WAILING FOR WAFFLES
Advent isn’t only about waiting for a savior who’s already been born; it’s our anticipation of the world that is to come.
WELCOMING HUMILITY
In what ways can humility be a teaching guide for me as I dive deeper into Advent?
FOUNDED IN CHRIST
I was delightfully reminded that despite the many emotions and longings jostling around on the surface of my heart, there is a deeper sense of hope and trust that anchors me in Christ.
LIMINAL SPACE
In the vesper of my tears, God embraces me with a stream of compassion that bonds and holds me tenderly as I learn how to breathe under the deep and grieve with hope.
