One Moment in Time

Even  just the few pages I have read of Ann Voskamp's writings have drawn me deeper into Truth. I just found her blog, read the latest few entries, and have only read chapter one of One Thousand Gifts. Her words, beautiful, raw-- yet also polished with the sands of ...

Broken Bread

Over the past year and a half, God's hand and revelation to me in my life has been difficult, wrenching and astonishing. I've been broken. But it's because of the brokenness that God has been growing me and drawing me closer to him. I've lived in the Psalms for over a...

The Light from Shore

Thirty-four years. Hallways, rooms, walls, and carpet. Memories made. All have laughed and wept. In the quiet house, I hear the echoes of the past. The sounds of children growing, playing, learning, discovering. A family. Living. Living the battles of life. The voices...
