First Trinity, God-Sighting Saturday

It’s in the little things… {God Sighting Saturday}

... bird's chirping as I wake up ... a little child's giggle ... sun streaming in a window ... making music with a bunch of teenage boys ... motorcycles ... dedicated men cleaning ants out of light fixtures ... a line of a hymn that catches on my heartstrings ... gentle hands helping an older… Continue reading It’s in the little things… {God Sighting Saturday}

Ministry is Messy! {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 30}

Rebekah Freed

While my blog series focusing on "being okay with imperfect" started 30 days ago, God's been teaching me this lesson for quite a while longer. One of the ways I've seen myself being forced to be okay with imperfect is in realizing that ministry is MESSY! As you've probably figured out in the last 30… Continue reading Ministry is Messy! {31 Days of Imperfection – Day 30}

We Bought Jesus a Prom Dress Today! :)

Rebekah Freed

(My afternoon was just so cool that it warrants pausing my 31 Days of Imperfection series.) So this afternoon I went prom dress shopping with 11 ladies.  Yes, it was as insane as it might sound. But the coolest part about it all was that these ladies weren't shopping for their own dresses. Last week,… Continue reading We Bought Jesus a Prom Dress Today! 🙂

Persecution of A Different Kind

Rebekah Freed

Our prison simulation for the high school students ended over 65 hours ago... yet my mind and heart continue to process that experience.  I wasn't even one of the prisoners, but it had a great impact on me.  The struggle I'm having is in asking myself the question: "HOW is this going to impact me?" … Continue reading Persecution of A Different Kind

Locked Up – Follow Up

Rebekah Freed

Wow!  That's the word that first comes to mind when I think about the LOCKED UP simulation for high school students at First Trinity yesterday.  For 12 hours, eight students from First Trinity and Grace-Niagara Falls gave up their identities and their rights to get a little taste of what it's like to live in… Continue reading Locked Up – Follow Up
