before my very eyes… I saw a generation rising up to take their place
My Epiphany (Part One)
I have SO much on my heart that I want to share with you. (This might turn into a two-part-er) Firstly…Last night I read a couple articles a friend who is also going to Chicago shared with our group, and was just absolutely struck by the simplicity of what it means to live missionally. I’ve [...]
I Need A Father by Starfield
Hold me somebody Don’t let me be alone Love me, stay with me I am dying to be known My heart cries out I need a Father Whose love will never fail me A friend like no other Whose trusted arms will hold me I need a Father I am wounded But I tuck the [...]
Invitation to Rest
Reading about God’s invitation to rest is also an invitation to a good – healthy theology of work in this chapter from Invitations from God by Adele Ahlberg Calhoun “He didn’t intend for work to be the way people form identities or find favor with God. Work was to be an expression of who human [...]

As I head down the freeway I notice spots of fog, literally spots, and confirmed that indeed it was [...]

29
twenty-nine twenty-nine years. i can hardly believe it myself. i’m certainly not ready to be 29. i feel as if i’m putting my brakes on…as if to say…WAIT!!! life hasn’t gone the way i thought it would these past ten years. ten years ago i started college in the usa after spending the previous 5 [...]
have you been undragoned?
As I turn every page of this book (Having a Mary Spirit) I’m just so amazed at how timely it is that I’m reading this, as well as that of the sermon on Sunday [Learn to Look Within]. I reread this section below a couple times, and then a third time as I typed this [...]
