It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Pennsylvania! The snow has been falling since noon today... our first big snow of the season.

Expectant
It's amazing what can happen when we're expectant. When we're listening for His whispers, when we're watching for His workings. We're awake. We're aware. We're in awe.

Like playing the same record over and over and hating it and wanting … Continue reading The Fight
