Just a few glimpses into God at work around me this week: The Haiti team arriving home with amazing stories of God's presence and power from their trip. Productivity and Grace-filled passion in some things at work, especially having those things in some areas that aren't always the parts of my job that come easy… Continue reading God-Sighting Saturday

I saw Jesus in the Tire-Delivery Man
A few weeks ago a friend's kid asked me what my dream car would be. I laughed and replied something to the effect of, "One that runs well and never needs repairs." I don't think he was amused as he was expecting an answer including a make and model, but it's true. As much as… Continue reading I saw Jesus in the Tire-Delivery Man
Grace… To fail
I did something tonight where, walking in, the probability of failure was much higher than the probability of success. So the fact I did it anyway in itself is a beautiful success! You see, Miss Perfectionist in me can be pretty bossy at times. She keeps me from doing fun things for fear of whether… Continue reading Grace… To fail
Dinner with Jesus
Reading a book by Barbara Broncroft today, these words captured my heart: "Being graciously received when we bring our sin to Christ strengthens our faith in the efficacy of the cross. We experience its powerful effects each time God welcomes us; we trust more deeply each time he responds with mercy and grace. As we… Continue reading Dinner with Jesus

A Light in the Darkness {wonder-full wanderings}
A pretty common childhood fear is the fear of the dark. As we grow up, the actual anxiety of being in an unlit room typically lessens, however fear of other kinds of darkness only increases. We're afraid of the darkness of tough situations in life. We're afraid of the darkness of sadness or depression. We're… Continue reading A Light in the Darkness {wonder-full wanderings}
A week of joy… {wonder-full wanderings}
Week 3 of advent complete and we're heading in to the final stretch. Anticipation building on this last day of only lighting 3 candles on the advent wreath. This week we got to add the joy candle. It's probably my favorite! The pink standing out against the purple. Bright against darkness. To be honest I've… Continue reading A week of joy… {wonder-full wanderings}
A week of Peace {wonder-ful wanderings}
Peace. The second candle lit on the advent wreath... A call to be still and know God is God and He is in control. Unlike with hope last week (where the theme seemed plastered all over my life) peace was a little harder for me to come by. In fact, I may or may not… Continue reading A week of Peace {wonder-ful wanderings}
With Every Breath {wonder-full wanderings}
When you get home before sunset on a 55 degree December day in Buffalo it means only one thing: Grab your running shoes and get out the door AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! (At least for someone who enjoys running but hates treadmills as much as I do.) While good for my body, breathing in the… Continue reading With Every Breath {wonder-full wanderings}

Blog after blog, Facebook post after Facebook post talk of this busy time of year for… Continue reading Ladder-Climbers {wonder-full wanderings}
