I pray you have been feeling the love of God as you’ve prayed for strength to comprehend His love 🙂 In the last post we focused on God’s electing love for us. Today, we’ll dive into another way in which God’s love for us is manifest: our forgiveness.  In chapter 4 of Ephesians, the ApostleContinue reading “Strength to Comprehend: Forgiven”

The last post focused on our need to pray for strength to comprehend God’s love (Ephesians 3:16-19). I hope you have been able to incorporate this request into your regular prayer routine! As we continue to pray for this strength, we’ll focus our attention on specific ways God’s love for us is made known inContinue reading “Strength to Comprehend: Chosen”

If you’ve ever struggled with knowing how to pray for someone, I encourage you to read the letters written by the Apostle Paul! His prayers for his fellow brothers and sisters in Christ are some of my favorite passages in the epistles. However, one prayer ranks above them all. In chapter 3 of Ephesians, heContinue reading “Strength to Comprehend”

I wonder when Robert Robinson penned the words to Come Thou Fount if he ever thought, “I bet 266 years from now some 40 something year old woman is going to be sitting at her kitchen table contemplating these lyrics while snacking on Townhouse crackers.”  Probably not. But regardless, here I am, munching away andContinue reading “Streams of Mercy”

In the Spirit, Moses wrote about one of the most mind-bending attributes of God- His eternality.  “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God”  (Psalm 90:2). We can hardly conceive of the eternal existence of God, yet we know fromContinue reading “The Eternal God”

About a month ago on an ordinary weekday night I was struck with one seemingly random thought: God sees me peeling these potatoes right now.  I have no idea what else was running through my mind at the time, but that single, powerful thought has stuck with me ever since.   Because here’s the truth- sometimesContinue reading “Coram Deo”

I know the title of this blog is also the title of a famous movie!  But I couldn’t quite come up with anything else that captured the essence of what I wanted to communicate.  Essentially, this is a post about our identity- and through Christ, our rightful place.   A few weeks ago, I read aContinue reading “The King and I”

We were less than 2 hours from our beach vacation destination when I decided to check the forecast on my mobile weather app.  I instantly regretted that decision.  Every hour for the next 48 hours was littered with the thunderstorm icon.  And not only that, but with an 85% chance!  In the weeks leading upContinue reading “Thunderstorms with Open Hands”

Today marks 19 years since my husband and I said, “I do.” It’s amazing to think how much happens in 19 years- and how it seems like just yesterday that I anxiously waited for the doors of the sanctuary to open. Rather than the usual bridal procession or Cannon in D, I walked down theContinue reading “How Beautiful”

In June of 2019 we vacationed in Toronto for a few days.  It was a great little action-packed vacation consisting of Niagara Falls, shopping, fabulous food in Chinatown, the aquarium, a Blue Jays game, and a visit to the CN Tower.  Let’s talk about that tower for a moment, shall we?   The top of theContinue reading “Lilies and Sparrows”
