This is one of my all time favorite hymns! It has encouraged my soul over and over again and reminded me of the joy of knowing that because of Christ’s work on the Cross on my behalf, it is well with my soul…even when life’s circumstances don’t make sense. Horatio…
This chapter, again, has been very helpful. I am brought to tears when I think of His kindness in cleansing me. He not only did this fully in Jesus, He also cleanses me daily (really moment by moment) as I choose my way over His and sin. I am overwhelmed…
A few weeks ago, our littlest and I were shopping at Target as we often do while my daughter is in her science class. I picked up a book for him to look at while I was finishing up, intending to buy it when I reached the checkout counter. While…

One of the most freeing things in life is the ability to be who you are. Taking off the mask of perfection and revealing the “real you” to those around you is real freedom. There is no show to keep up with, no facade…we are flawed. But, in Christ, not…
This is a GREAT chapter! There were so many truths that got me thinking, but one in particular stood out to me and really has gripped my thoughts since reading it. Elyse Fitzpatrick writes: “In Peter’s second epistle he lists the character traits that mark a believer’s life: faith, virtue,…
