By: Sarah Abreu Jesus came to tear down the wall between us and our Creator. He came that we would have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10). I can think of plenty of conversations I’ve had with my best friends, whether it was late at night, or during a sleepover; convos that had me waiting […]

By: Carley Fischer In today’s rapidly changing and fast-moving society it can sometimes seem like we need a road-map for navigating life as a modern Christian woman. It can be hard to understand where the advice stamped on our phone cases and pencil bags like “keep your head up” and “follow your dreams” fits into our faith […]

By: Kelly Arena My dog Maddy is lying contentedly next to me, snoring. She’s completely at peace with the world and everyone in it (except for the skateboarder and UPS truck). We have loved owning Maddy for three years. She transformed from a terrified rescue dog, to a pet who is completely confident in my love for her; […]

By: Abby Watson I needed a break.  My online grocery order had not gone to plan. After spending an hour on meal planning, selecting food in the app, and then going back to select replacements items (cause you know, an international pandemic), I was tired. But hey, I knew that in a few hours, we’d have food […]

By: Emily Miller I spend most of my time at home, alone with my two very young children; and that was a fact before we went into lockdown almost two months ago. My hands are kept busy with diaper changing, food making, and cleaning, so sitting down with a good book is a difficult luxury to […]

By: Amy Hornbuckle My mind fails me often, particularly when it comes to memory. We can know something and still forget it. I can say with confidence that each of us experience this at some part in our day no matter how minute; because our minds are finite. There is power in repetition. We do […]

By: Hannah Pritchard We are commanded throughout scripture to come before the Lord intentionally, ready to spend time in His presence. These times are not only meant for us to receive from God and fill our spiritual tanks, but these moments are also a physical manifestation of our worship towards Him.  These quiet times are moments […]

By: Christi Grimm For days, I have been singing the age-old hymn “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.” I find myself singing it when I am working around the house, when I am in the shower, and when I am simply going about my day. It finally dawned on me that perhaps God had this song hanging […]

By: Julianna Weiss I was sitting on my back patio taking a moment to collect myself before I went into work for a dreaded 12-hour night shift. It had been a long day, I didn’t have a good nap and quite frankly I was feeling sorry for myself. I went outside for a last glimpse of the sunset. Through […]

By: Carley Fischer I can’t remember when I first heard the gospel but I didn’t really hear it. I spent a long time “earning” my salvation, trying to be enough and beating myself up whenever I fell short (which was all the time). Then I heard the gospel and I realized that my works would get me nowhere. […]
