Advent Day 2 – The Beginning & The End

By Gretchen Saffles

The new season is upon us. One of waiting in joyful, hope-filled anticipation for our Savior. Do you feel it inside of you? Are you staying your heart on Christ? It is all too easy for us to mistake busyness at Christmas time with enjoying God. A few years ago I learned about the importance […]

When Grief And Joy Collide

“Chasing genuine is about chasing holiness. Chasing genuine is about being real, being honest. We are all part of the Great Masquerade, acting as if we have it all together. But let’s be honest: we don’t. And that is okay. It’s no secret that we live in a fallen world where everything is broken. So let’s […]

Chasing Genuine

By Kara Holmes

Mornings are my favorite time of day. The earth is still, the coffee is brewing, and my heart has yet to get after its’ long to do list. I hunger after the stillness that can only be touched in the morning time. The reason this time of day is so dear to my heart is because it is when I meet with the Lord. No distractions, no things done, no one to talk to, just me and my Lord. This time is sacred and holy, the most important thing I do each day.

In the morning, when I rise {Part 1}

I have been an avid-journaler since I was in the 7th grade. I attended a private, Christian school and had a Bible teacher who taught us about the importance of studying the Bible as well as journaling. Prior to hearing this, I only considered journaling as a sort of diary where I wrote down my feelings, what happened in my day, and anything else that popped into my head. Needless to say, there wasn’t much fruit from these diaries in elementary school, other than the fruit of laughter when I read what I wrote! My teacher had us start a journal in class that we used to answer hard questions and study the depths of Scripture. I began to see the importance of writing out my thoughts, thinking critically, and talking to the Lord each day.

Journaling to the Heart

By Gretchen Saffles

Dearest friends, As I have journeyed with you, God has brought me to so many places. Mountaintops, valleys, wildernesses, waterfalls. And today He has me basking in the rain of His joy. I’d love to share with you a bit of my heart this morning and would love for you to grab your Bible, a […]
