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. I don’t think there’s a better way to celebrate than an awesome opportunity to dig into God’s Word together. :) What a fun night in Philippians 2!… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… to dig into God’s Word
Joyfullyblessed… by Crossroads CONNECT
Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job? If I haven't, well it's A LOT! Sometimes I even hate using the words "job" or "work" to describe my internship here at First Trinity because I just simply love what I get to do each day. Anyway, I've decided that a lot of my friends/family back… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… by Crossroads CONNECT
Joyfullyblessed…It’s kinda weird…
It’s kind of a weird thing to attend a funeral for someone you’ve never met, but definitely a unique opportunity that I’ve had a few times since being on internship, including once this week. Normally, funeral are associated emotions of grief and pain and confusion. Of course there is hope and glimmers of joy in… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed…It’s kinda weird…
JB… Two months of Joy and Blessing!
Well, as of yesterday, I’ve officially been in New York for 2 months. In some ways it’s hard to comprehend it’s been that long and in other ways it feels much longer. In any case, I truly am loving life here. As Jason pointed out though, it’s crazy to think that 1/6 of my internship… Continue reading JB… Two months of Joy and Blessing!
Joyfullyblessed… “Blessed is the One”
I was on the way home from church today and the song “Blessed is the One” by Daniel Doss Band was playing in my car. It really fit well with Pastor’s sermon series right now about the “Round-About Ways of God”. Many of the words connected with the point in the sermon last week about… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… “Blessed is the One”
Joyfullyblessed… To Let Go!
For those of you who are still getting to know me out here in NY, you will soon learn that I love music (and writing really long blogs). I love playing my guitar. I love attempting to play piano. I love writing songs. I love listening to music (of many kinds). I simply enjoy music. … Continue reading Joyfullyblessed… To Let Go!
Joyfullyblessed … by the “Little” things
While I was in Africa, I was amazed over and over again at how God works even in the littlest things. When I stopped to think about it, I realized that God wasn’t DOING more in Africa, but my eyes were just open to it because of the new situation. Upon my arrival back to… Continue reading Joyfullyblessed … by the “Little” things
joyfullyblessed and made NEW!
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). Then I headed off to many NEW experiences in a NEW country, Uganda, coming home with a completely NEW perspective on life. A week later I… Continue reading joyfullyblessed and made NEW!
JB… by High Seas Expedition (aka VBS)
I'm definitely JOYFULLYBLESSED by VBS. This year's theme was High Seas Expedition and it was a great experience with over 200 kids and 100+ volunteers. I got to be one of the Bible Voyage leaders which was awesome because I got to help make God's Word come ALIVE for the kids that came each day.… Continue reading JB… by High Seas Expedition (aka VBS)
