One of the biggest mercies in a believer's life is that whatever trial or question arises, the answer is always Christ and his invitation to "come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." By yoking with him, we find rest for our souls. (Matthew 11) Peace, Perfect… Continue reading Sunday Song: Peace and Rest

Making Cozy: Twinkle Lights
Twinkle lights add a certain charm and warmth to a room, especially during cold winter months when the sun sets early in the evening. When I was in high school, I had the multicolored lights (80s child) outlining the walls in my room. I loved the soft glow it gave. Since then, I've come to… Continue reading Making Cozy: Twinkle Lights
The confessions of a New Year’s Scrooge
I’m about to confess something that may make me wildly unpopular, but here goes: I don’t really like New Year’s Eve/Day as a holiday.
Author’s note: Please filter this post with the understanding that as I write this, I am by turns smiling, laughing, and teary-eyed. I am by no means sitting on my couch with a soured frown and permanent crease between my eyebrows. Thank you.
I think I gave up on making resolutions in high school. Why make more goals (read rules) for myself when I struggle and then fail to keep them?

Saturday Song: God Incarnate, Jesus Came
I've been thinking more lately about the Trinity - especially the incarnation. Tonight I read Exodus 24:1-11. The glory of God is described... and also that the elders of Israel ate in his presence and were not consumed. This in itself is remarkable.
