5/31 ((from Megan)) “Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom.” Song of Solomon 2:15   “A little thorn may cause much suffering. A little cloud may hide the sun. Little foxes spoil the vines; and little sins do mischief to the tender heart… The…

5/30 ((from Natalie)) Our family posted up at the end of the Memorial Day Parade route today. By my husband’s estimations (he loves to calculate stuff like this), since we were at the end of a route that spanned 1.6 miles and the parade was likely inching along at about 3 mph, the parade wasn’t…

5/29 ((from Kate)) You know the old adage – “How do you eat an elephant?” One bite at a time. It makes sense in theory, that the only way we’ll accomplish anything is with one step and then another. One page, one sentence, one word, one letter … and then another. But the reality is…

5/28 ((from Abbie)) Have you ever taken the Myers-Briggs personality test? After you finish the thirty minute long questionnaire, you are given the key that holds all personality related type answers. Those four little letters hold so much information, and I, personally, find them to be fascinating. What is even more interesting is that the…

During my freshman year of college, I was introduced to the magical musical stylings of Shane & Shane. Soon after I first listened to some of their stuff, they released Psalms, and I was hooked. For the next several years, it’s safe to say that I listened to this album at least five time a…

5/26 ((from Steph)) When horrid events like what transpired on Monday night occur, I can’t help but be seized by fear. No one walked into the Manchester arena thinking anything other than that they were excited to hear Ariana Grande perform.  None of the victims got dressed up with their friends, or bought a concert…

5/25 ((from Brittany)) This world has lost its ever-loving mind! Amiright? The other day I was reading through the news only to quickly close out my browser. I couldn’t handle all the discord and angst. There were too many opinions and a multitude of angry voices; it’s proving more difficult to discern what is true…

5/24 ((from Megan)) One of the side effects that suffering can tempt a heart to is belly-button staring, looking down into my circumstances to the exclusion of High Up God. Exhausting my brain to ask the questions here in the human realm really only brings a limited degree of healing, and we aren’t ever promised…

5/23 ((from Natalie)) I’m a Bono fied U2 fan (see what I did there?) I think their music is a bona fied fusion of the rock-n-roll spirit and bold, justice-seeking faith.  I feel sincerity in the songs that I don’t often come by in most other stuff under the U2-avoided label of “Christian Rock.”  There…

5/22 ((from Kate)) For ten years I didn’t read the Psalms. I felt like it was cheating. Everyone was always turning to the Psalms for some quick answer and it felt ‘too easy’. I told my professors that Psalms was the dessert of the Bible. I didn’t want the fluff so I was that weirdo…

5/21 ((from Abbie)) It came as a whisper when I was least expecting it. “I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 I was 17, and a ticking time bomb of self-destruction over the past several…

5/20 ((from Eve)) I was in the sixth grade. My family had been living in Jamestown, NY for two years. Things had shifted a bit and it seemed like the Lord was calling our family to a new season, in a new location. Indiana, to be exact. I was born in Indiana, but hadn’t lived…
