Embrace Sacrifice

That is what Jesus calls us to. When we sacrifice, we are picking up our cross daily, we are acknowledging that Jesus is Lord over our lives, and we are trusting in who He is, in what He says, and in His plan and purpose over our lives. Sacrifice in the Old Testament, from theContinue reading “Embrace Sacrifice”

Peace.

“But don’t be fooled; if peace is what we seek, we will find it’s true sources only in Christ.” ~Ruth Chou Simons If you have known Jesus for any amount of time, you know that the way He lived was completely opposite of the world. The whole “In the world, but not of the world,”Continue reading “Peace.”

Today, I begin again. That is the beauty of being a teacher. There is always a new beginning. Two months goes by quickly, way too quickly if you ask me. It feels like I blink and it’s over. But something I have been after in this season of my life is being present. When IContinue reading “Light”

Embrace the in between

Celebrate the already, put your faith in the not yet, and embrace the in between. I absolutely LOVE what God has for us in the in between. I have been so caught up lately in what this world is going through and in my own self-focused life that I forgot for a moment about thisContinue reading “Embrace the in between”
