Emmanuel – God with Us

What does it mean to you, that the God of the universe is not a distant Lord ruling from the heavens, but a God who actually wanted to enter into the ups and downs of everyday life? What does it mean to you, that He can relate to what’s awesome and what’s hard in your life?

Looking Back as You Move Ahead

God is molding us, like a potter molds the clay. His ways are purposeful, careful, creative, and gentle yet firm enough to get the right effect, because He knows what He is preparing us for in the months to come, He knows how He is going to use us.

Remain.

We don’t wander off on purpose. We just get so easily distracted by something or run aimlessly.
Do I need a reminder to remain?

Hurry.

Hurry into His presence daily and learn to live “freely and lightly.”

Changing seasons

Over and over again our God reminds us that His beauty is greater than our perception of ourselves in the mirror, or how the world would define beauty.

Pictures of Surrender

Even now, as I search God’s Word, I know He is good. As I draw close to Him, He draws close to me and whispers to be patient, to trust.

Godly Courage Today

I encourage you to pay attention to the conversations you’re having or need to have. Encourage others to be brave in their conversations. Pray for Godly courage in the midst of it all.

PT for the Soul

My walk with Him is largely affected by developing the muscles of support for my walk. Some of those are the muscles of prayer, Bible Study, community, accountability, and serving.
