I'm so excited to bring you this month's guest blog from one of my forever friends, Sonja Cannell. I met Sonja shortly after giving my life to Jesus 16+ years ago in Marysville, Washington. We were bridesmaids in each other's weddings, and though we've lived apart from each other for years, we've been able to … Continue reading Trusting God Through the Waiting

Learning to Pause
I've been on a modified break from social media, doing my best to spend time with my kids instead of scrolling through highlight reels. I've been showing up a couple times during the week to share encouragement and truth, but have chosen to remain mostly out of the loop. I happened to see a post … Continue reading Learning to Pause

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

Just make sure you're holding on to God. Recently I found myself in heavy agreement with Psalm … Continue reading Just Hold On
