Sean jumped in the car after school today, threw a paper in my direction, and said “Read this!” I glanced over the newsletter and saw the announcement of a new school-wide project. As he buckled in, he announced that we needed to go home and find shoes that we don’t need or that don’t fit […]

I lived most of my life to please others. I was the person they needed and wanted me to be. It did not matter who I really was inside; if I didn’t fit their mold, I changed myself to make them happy. So many years buried under so many masks, it’s no wonder I lost […]

"I will hope in Your name, for Your name is good." (Psalm 52:9)
The words in this song stay with me: "Sometimes, I don't know what You're doing, but I know who You are."
When we can't understand the reasons, we choose to trust His love and His goodness, His wisdom and His grace. We choose to trust Him.
One of my favorite scriptures to remember when I am in need of hope is from Isaiah 40, when Isaiah says that God 'tends His flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart.'
The other day I asked my daughter what she thought of God and she said 'He is our great holder.'
I think it's one of the best descriptions of the Father that I've ever heard. He is my Great Holder.
I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
~Isaiah 46:4
Trusting in Him,
Christie
