A few weeks ago, Hannah posted some journalings. Following suit but trying not to be a copy cat, I’m posting a written sketch from my recent reading of Ephesians. Please view the image full size for readability.
“…But God…” He changes everything.
While reading through Ephesians last week, I was struck by Paul’s method of using [...]

This week has been a whirlwind of work and writing and taxi-ing siblings all about town. God’s been very kind to give me strength and grace when I’m tired, and to give me some wonderful opportunities to fellowship. He is all I need!
Kaitlin:
During this week there have been moments of craziness where I’ve felt like [...]

Confession: I worry. I didn’t think I was a worrier, but I do lean in that direction. Maybe you could lay the blame on inherited character traits and say I’m just like my grandmother, but that’s a cop-out. Worrying may be an inherited weakness, but sin is still sin no matter what label you put [...]

Ever since we moved to the States I’ve had a severe dislike for reading or watching the news because it seems to me that there is always someone griping or complaining about something or someone else. All the complaining through the media only escalates during an election year. Everyone is whining that this isn’t fair, [...]

The most noticeable thing about being around a newborn is how much they want closeness. How much they want warmth, comfort, and -quite simply- you! My nephew Hank was a strong advocate for snuggling when he was tiny. Oftentimes whenever he was crying all he wanted was to be “swaddled” – cocooned tightly in a [...]

As my summer is about to really kick-off and be even busier and crazier than it’s already been, God is reminding me that my role is continually changing to one of leadership, mentoring, and serving. But He is providing Grace and Joy in the midst of what could be tough transitions.
O Bless the Lord, my soul!
Hännah:

One of the most enjoyable parts of my morning is reading the daily passage from Spurgeon, posted on the Spurgeon Archives. A few days ago I read his thoughts on Psalm 103:2. It’s a good reminder of the blessings that have been granted to us.
“Forget not all His benefits.”—Psalm 103:2.
IT is a delightful and profitable [...]

Beauty, creativity, purpose, splendor—it’s all reflected in Creation. Canyons, insects, the central nervous system, deep-sea creatures, an atom, waterfalls, volcanoes, autumn leaves—Oh, yes…
”—and the stars.” Genesis 1:16
Reading the account in Genesis, it seems as though God created the stars on a whim, as though they are extraneous expressions of His glory. It’s funny that the [...]

Debbie:
God has been showing me through friendships with my companions, my siblings, and my parents, that I still have much to learn- and that I must never give up gleaning wisdom from God’s Word.
Hännah:
Seeing beauty in selflessness and taking joy in serving has been a delight to my heart this week. Whether I’m grateful to [...]
