Please welcome my friend, and one of the fabulous leaders from my writing group, Beth Fowler! Her story fascinates me, and I know you will be blessed by reading it. She is writing in response to my question, “Who is Jesus to you?” as part of the Who is Jesus series. *** Who was Jesus to me? He was a storybook character like Santa Claus and Prince Charming. I went to Sunday school and endured goofy flannel-board stories narrated by ladies…
Happy Tuesday Everyone! I am so pleased to introduce you to my friend, Jill. We served teenagers together for three year at our church in Northern Virginia. Not only that, but Jill and I also share a passion for Jesus and writing about Jesus. (Check out her blog here.) Recently she posted a picture on Instagram about how she fit her entire wardrobe into a suitcase. I was impressed, and a little convicted. Please give her a warm welcome as she shares her heart with us today….
Colors of Brokenness Penny Heilman (Read more about Penny here.) A fallen leaf before its time While others flourished green Torn and taken from the tree O spinning, spiraling me Why did the others get to stay While I was called to wither And take my place here on the dust Where frightening creatures slither The view was better from up high So clear and undisturbed But since I’ve settled to the ground My vision…

Please welcome back for the SECOND time, my dear friend, Lisa Beavers! *** It was Valentine’s weekend. It was also the same month that marked 10 years since my husband had gotten down on one knee, opened up a box to reveal a princess cut solitaire diamond, and asked me to marry him. I was enjoying an evening out on the town with my coworkers as a treat from our boss who gave us tickets to see the show “Grease”. We had…

It’s not my story; It’s your story, Father, so help me tell it well… Hello blog world. I hope you all are doing well.

This weekend, God solidified in me…
