Prayer

Last year I had the worst habit of waking up and scrolling on my phone first thing. I knew it wasn’t good for my soul, but I did in anyway. The warmth of my covers somehow lured me into staying “just a few minutes longer,” and my time with Jesus started to suffer. To be […]

Everlasting Father | December 14: Have you shared your story of Christ’s redemption in your life? As you invest time into the life of another person, sharing your story with them will be a natural overflow of that relationship. Your story is how Christ has saved you and given you new life. Has there been […]

In Isaiah 55, God invites all who are thirsty to come and drink from the living water that satisfies. His invitation is for everyone. He doesn’t just call those who have their acts together, those who aren’t as needy, or those who have money. In fact, God explicitly calls “everyone who is thirsty” to come […]

This post was written by Becca Lafferty, a high-school English teacher in Singapore. Read more from Becca on her blog. True faith isn’t trying out Jesus in the hopes that he will make something “better,” it is entrusting our entire life to him. In Mark 9, Jesus heals the possessed boy, but the boy then […]

This post was written by Becca Lafferty, a high-school English teacher in Singapore. Read more from Becca on her blog. It is a treasure to be in the Psalms, isn’t it? I so relate to King David and his singing, dancing praises to God and his desperate cries of despair, side by side on my […]

just a phase I’ve been writing this blog post in my head for several months now. It all started with a conversation with my friend Chelsie in her classroom. We were talking about our friends that were married, engaged, and single. We were talking about what it means to be a single female in our […]

It was about a year ago, now, when we first learned that there was possibly something wrong in my pregnancy. On that sunny Friday morning in April, I traveled to Dallas alone for my 12-week pregnancy checkup. Trey stayed home with Kate, and I was looking forward to eating at Chuy’s by myself after the appointment. It was to be a routine checkup, but it became very un-routine when when my obstetrician couldn’t find the baby’s heartbeat. We walked two rooms down to have a sonogram performed. Once the sono tech placed the wand on my gel-covered abdomen, I was quickly relieved to see the screen light up with life. My relief did not last long, though, for in a matter of moments, both my doctor and the sono tech were discussing with me nuchal translucency, genetic testing, and a possible chromosome abnormality.

When we trade our worry for worship and begin to pray instead of fret, we can live in the peace that God is our portion and our good. Nothing apart from Him can satisfy, and by dwelling in His presence, we can let down our guard and desire to prove ourselves worthy!
