I believe God is making all things new. He is turning all things to good. You may be facing a situation that doesn't seem good right now, but His presence gives peace. According to the world's standard, it may look like you've lost it all. Can I encourage you today? Just don't lose you; don't … Continue reading Resilient

Celebrating Life
It's been a cloud-y week in our home! Last weekend, Clouds premiered on Disney Plus. I first heard about Zach Sobiech's story when I read his mom's book Fly A Little Higher 6 years ago. This week Jon (and Jackson) covered Zach's song that inspired the movie. Click here to check it out on YouTube! … Continue reading Celebrating Life
Meeting Doubt with Mercy
"When in doubt... rest." I tucked these words into a note on my phone over a month ago, occasionally revisiting them. It was a Sunday and I'm sure we were scrambling.

Without trouble, we wouldn't be in need of rescue. I look back on the Israelites' journey. If they didn't have enemies … Continue reading Wrestling with Restoration
Savoring the Gospel in the Midst of Injustice
A year and a half ago I began sharing guest blogs here on My Race to Run; I realized God had surrounded me with people who have a unique heart and perspective, and I couldn't think of a better place to spotlight them. Stacie wrote the very first one - A Safe Place For Blueberry … Continue reading Savoring the Gospel in the Midst of Injustice
