One of the most common reasons some people struggle to believe Christianity and/or Jesus is true comes down to a simple game of "telephone". You've all played the game before: One person starts with a phrase and whispers it to the next person. That person whispers it to another and so on, until it gets… Continue reading God’s Word is Strong!

The 3 – April Edition
It's been too long. Sorry, blog friends. But I'm hoping that this post will kick start me and get me back on track with blogging at least a couple times a week. It's time for April's Edition of "The 3"! So here it is... Three things I've been learning and relearning this month: 1. Family… Continue reading The 3 – April Edition
The 3: March Edition – GRACE ME!
So, I know it's already April 9, but I wanted to go ahead and share my "three" for March... three things I've been learning or re-learning in life. 1. I am called. Many days I don't understand it. Some days I don't feel good enough for it. Other days I feel slightly more confident. Everyday,… Continue reading The 3: March Edition – GRACE ME!
Hope {Anna’s Story – Part 3 – Rescue is Coming}
Anna's story continues today with the beginning stages of her rescue. This part of her story (and the part we'll read next week) is based off of two other documented rescues from organizations who work to save those trapped in human trafficking (Sarah's story and Minati's Story). Because I'm writing from Anna's perspective AND because… Continue reading Hope {Anna’s Story – Part 3 – Rescue is Coming}
Maundy Thursday Reflections
Based off of part of my grace story that I had the opportunity to share last year on Maundy Thursday. --------------- "The specific details of each of our stories differ, yet they carry a similar theme: one with brokenness, pain, hurt and confusion intermingling with the joy and celebration in our lives. It’s all part… Continue reading Maundy Thursday Reflections
“Grace Me, Jesus!”
Oh how the prayers have changed. Beginning Lent with some danger and some risk. And that's how it should be. Daily praying for courage to pray bold prayers of "search me" "stretch me" "break me" "use me" and more. Prayers to build trust in the One who alone is trustworthy. Prayers to break trust in… Continue reading “Grace Me, Jesus!”
Congratulations!
"Congratulations, you loan is paid in full." Ever since starting my Financial Peace journey (which was also around the time I started to have to pay off my student loans), I always get excited and celebrate when I see another e-mail with the above subject line. (Only a few more to go!) The emails often… Continue reading Congratulations!
RESCUE! {I Blog For Rescue}
This Monday we're taking a break from Anna's Story for a week, because I thought it was important instead to rejoice in this message that was posted today by one of The Exodus Road's partners: "Rescued a 12 yr old virgin girl. Her own sister was trying to sell her virginity. She was going to… Continue reading RESCUE! {I Blog For Rescue}
Joy… only in Jesus.
Joy is an interesting thing. I love joy. I'm not sure, though I understand joy. I love the ways in which God provides joy and I love to hate the ways Satan tries to steal it away. Joy is not happiness; it does not waver with circumstance. It is a sense of comfort and contentment… Continue reading Joy… only in Jesus.
Laughter Came From Every Brick
Just wanted to share a beautiful poem I love by Teresa of Avila. Hope you love it too! Just these two words He spoke changed my life, "Enjoy Me." What a burden I thought I was to carry - a crucifix, as did He. Love once said to me, "I know a song, would you… Continue reading Laughter Came From Every Brick
