THE GOOD DAY

When closed doors usher in frustration, disappointment and grief, we can look to scripture to find stories of hope to help us press on.

The Miller's share their story of how God brought their family together. Though the waiting was hard, it was worth every minute!

The Old Testament, our beacon of hope pointing to our rescue, Jesus, wraps up this week. And, it wraps up in the most beautiful way.

What about the rest of the Old Testament? If we've already covered the history and the poetry, what's the rest of it?

"Give us a king!" is the cry of the people. When the first king disobeys God, God raises up an unlikely shepherd to reign over His people.

In the time of Judges, we meet a woman named Ruth. Her story may be short but it is paramount. Oh, and Samuel. God uses him in great ways.

A new leader has been chosen. Joshua will lead the people into the Promised Land with the support of an unlikely woman.

Protection, guidance, faithfulness - all followed by doubting God? It's a reeeeally good thing it's a covenant and not based on our goodness

This season is marked with simplicity and yet burst with sparkles and technicolor. But mostly, love and comfort and joy and so much peace.

From mistreatment to promotion, from reunions to genocide, from plagues to passover - it all foreshadows our Rescuer.

"Never trust a man whose TV is larger than his bookshelf." Ouch. Inspired to read more this year and sharing a few of my favorites with you!

Prayerfully choosing one word to lean into for the year - my journey of Open and how the adjective and verb form eternally changed me.

One of my favorite things to do at Christmas time is read children's stories. Maybe there's more to this...

The darkness of fear surrounded me. Earlier that day, my husband and I got the news that his cancer had returned.

I was tired and worn out. I couldn’t remember the last time my heart, mind and body had all been at rest. I had fallen into a trap of fear.

Why does God keep telling us not to be afraid? Why is this repeated over 300 times in the Bible?

We're told, "Be fearless!" But, is that really possible? If I struggle with fear, does it mean I'm not "Christian enough"?

Standing on one foot for the breaker and throwing nets out again - how do we find the strength to obey when it doesn't make sense?

Ever felt in over your head? Me, too. The awe and wonder I experience now is very different from what I felt when starting this adventure...

I LOVE surprises, and this year, God blew me away ...again and again and again! Here are the top 5 BIGGEST SURPRISES OF YEAR 1!
