“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33 I know I’ve written about it before (see this and this), but I love the truth and transparency of this verse. Jesus promises … Continue reading Look for the Manna

Lessons on Healing
It’s been a few weeks since my last post (hello life). I’d like to take a moment to share some lessons I’ve been learning lately. It ties back to a somewhat recent post on work, where I wrote about being a learner vs. teachable. “Being teachable requires the flexibility and humility to learn from unexpected … Continue reading Lessons on Healing
not by works, by faith
Guest blog by Laci Wright 💕 This week, I have been reading through the book of Romans with a YouVersion plan by UPPERROOM (it’s called “The Mystery Revealed”—I would highly recommend checking it out), and it has been a wonderful experience so far.

Cue the music: “It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me” (thank you, Taylor Swift). But … Continue reading Not the problem

As December draws to an end, we try to spend time reflecting on the previous year and the “one word” we’d chosen. Then looking ahead, we pray and discern what our word for the coming … Continue reading Lean In
