Where to begin? This is day 1 of a month long journey of intentionally looking at hope and I discovered something today. When you set out to focus intentionally on one thing, suddenly your eyes are opened to it everywhere. I feel like I could fill 31 days of blogging about hope just from the… Continue reading HOPE {Day 1} We NEED Hope

31 Days of Hope.
Recently I began following the blog of a woman who is writing for 31 days straight about GRACE. It has been wonderful to focus on the idea of grace so much as I read her blog each day. One of my favorite passages recently is from James 4:6 which says, “… but he gives us… Continue reading 31 Days of Hope.
Joyfullyblessed… to dig into God’s Word
In the process of handing out nametags and talking to people tonight at short course, I realized that I’ve officially been at First Trinity for three months.

There have been a lot of NEW things in my life lately. The summer started by purchasing a NEW car (well actually it’s used, but new to me).

Joyfullyblessed… to Remember Redemptively
Forgive and Forget. That’s what we’ve all be told since we were two-years old, right? Yet, I don’t know if any of us really are able to truly forget. I’m currently reading a book called, “Every Thought Captive” by Jerusha Clark. It’s about the lies we tell ourselves (or that Satan tries to get us… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… to Remember Redemptively
