4/30 ((from Abbie)) I grew up as the kid who answered, “Famous,” when asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I also aspired to be a librarian, which is vastly different, but that’s for another day. The point was, I wanted purpose. I wanted to be living, walking, and…

4/29 ((from Eve)) “The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the LORD said, “I will…

4/28 ((from Steph)) Ever notice that the story of Esther involves two women, both queens of the most powerful man of their time, who outrightly disobey? Queen Vashti, King Xerxes’s first wifey, refuses the king’s command to come to his party in Esther 1:12. There’s much debate in commentator world on why Vashti chose to disobey….

4/27 ((from Brittany)) I love the story of Joseph. LOVE it.  Ok, I’ll be honest, there were a few seasons in life where I dreaded it, but I’ve come to love it. I’ll share why in a second – but first, here’s a quick refresher on Joseph’s story (also you can read the whole beautiful…

4/26 ((from Megan)) The scope of my life seems to have shrunk to a tiny little circle and screeched to a grinding halt these days of having a newborn and his two big sisters. While I thank God for my wee ones, my world also feels confined in these weeks of cluster feeding, reconciling sibling…

4/25 ((from Natalie)) Sometimes we can’t even follow our own advice. Okay, maybe not just sometimes… more like often. Alright alright! More like… on a daily basis. Christians blow it all the time. We put the “hip” in hypocrite. Being a parent makes me keenly aware of just how easy it is to say one…

4/24 ((from Kate)) “How much more do I need to say? It would take too long to recount the stories of the faith of … all the prophets. By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped…

4/23 ((from Abbie)) I grew up as a good girl with an unwavering belief that she was bad. Asking Jesus to enter into my life at a young age, I remember begging God to make me more like Him, and then becoming confused when I still had the urge to yell at my brother. My…

4/22 ((from Eve)) Reconciliation is a word that is often used, but maybe not entirely understood. It strikes me as a word that has lost its richness in our use of it. Wikipedia gives an application of reconciliation in five completely different arenas—accounting, government, history, relationships, and religion. How can one word have so many…

4/21 ((from Steph)) What does it mean to be free? A few years ago a friend of mine told me a story about one of her college roommates who decided to get a tattoo. They went to a conservative Christian college in the Midwest, and if I remember correctly, she choose to get the tattoo…

4/20 ((from Brittany)) I’ve noticed a trend on the interwebs as of late. Many feel-good blog posts are for folks who have been wounded or walked through immense suffering. Don’t get me wrong, as someone who has seen grey days and was in search of hope, I resonate 110%. But lately God has opened my…

4/19 ((from Megan)) Where do you find yourself mid-week after celebrating the Resurrection? Is that truth (Risen Savior, guys, not the Peeps) still the best news in your life? Is your life still marked by the empty tomb? Or are you back to fighting in the trenches of your circumstances to believe in the victory…
