Megan McCurry From an outsider’s perspective, I was living quite the life in New York City. Professionally, I planned events for one of the top design schools in the nation. Academically, I was enrolled in a graduate program working on my thesis and only ONE semester away from a master’s degree. I lived in an …

FAITH THE SIZE OF A MUSTARD SEED
Anonymous (to protect the privacy of others involved) “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” Matthew 17:20 Most Christians have heard about “faith the size of a …
LOSING A CHILD; GAINING JESUS
Jennifer Greever When I look back at pictures of my husband, Andrew, and I during the summer of 2015, I am overwhelmed with mixed emotions. Sadness – because those naive people have no idea how their life is about to be turned upside down. Thankfulness – because we are not those people anymore. …
THE HOUSE THAT GOD BUILT
Selena Thompson Buying a house in Plano, Texas in the middle of 2015 was hard to say the least. The housing market during that time was a seller’s market to the extreme degree. With billion dollar businesses moving into the area, houses were selling before they were even on the market – literally! Stories …
TRUST AND SACRIFICE
Brooke Fish I’m about to share a shocking revelation with you. Being a mom is NOT for the faint of heart. It is stinkin’ hard work, with no days off. Ever. And that is one of the very reasons I love August. Back to School, baby! Families everywhere prepare to send their children back …

EVERYTHING IS MADE BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME
Amy Merritt Healing from childhood trauma and sexual abuse Childhood for me was full of uncertainties and an overwhelming absence – void of love, nurturing, compassion, and tenderness. Whether it was not knowing when my mom would come home, or whether she would come home drunk; if a stranger would be coming home with her …
AN ADOPTION JOURNEY
Ruthie Hart “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” James 1:27 doesn’t make sense without recognizing that God adopted us into His family. He adopted us out of death and into …
TRUST AND PROVISION
Stefanie Spencer In January of 2016, the Holy Spirit laid the word “trust” on my heart. I don’t say this lightly, as I am a skeptic when I hear people say, “the Lord spoke to me,” or, “God laid it on my heart.” I mean, big eye roll (maybe internally because I wouldn’t want to …
NEVER FORGET- GODS PROVISION THROUGH THE MESS
Brooke Fish We hear that a lot. Especially around 9/11. But we do forget. Often. And quickly. Personally, I forget a lot, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. Hello, Israelites grumbling about manna and desiring to be back in Egypt! We all forget how far the Lord has brought us and instead focus on …
