I’m so excited to write this blog post! As Christmas approaches my thoughts turn to Jesus and what my life was like before I knew him. And how because of Jesus, previously impossible things have happened in my life. This equation came to mind — Me + Jesus = ____________. Can you fill in the …
I was just sitting in church listening to the Pastor read through some announcements when he said something about “looking for more,” and the words implanted in my brain like a message from heaven or a highlighted passage.

Most weeks if I haven’t had an idea for my blog by Sunday, I’ll find my inspiration at church. But sometimes the Holy Spirit waits until I’m empty before he speaks. Today my attention was directed to this verse. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. …
