Lifeline week is here!

This week we’ll hear a lot about being ‘Made for These Days!’

Lord, please renew our confidence that we are in the right place at the right time, and you have called us by name!  We were born to shine bright in the darkness…and we don’t have to be discouraged or afraid. This world needs the hope inside of us, so let us echo Paul’s letter in Galatians, to not become weary in doing good, for in the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Name something with a siren.

Maybe it’s okay…

Our family continues to join many others in mourning loss this week. Our friend Jessica, from Florida, died unexpectedly the last week of February. She leaves behind a husband and four kids. We’ve had some pretty transparent texts and calls with our daughter, who considered Jess to be like a big sister to her.

I keep thinking of this song…because maybe it’s okay, if I’m not okay…

Praising God in the good times and the bad times…we know what it’s like to broken and are thankful for His restoring power.

Is spring really on its way?

I sure hope so!!! Enough with the polar vortexes 🙂 I like winter, but this one has me craving the 40’s (temperature). Today it’s starting to feel like spring. Let’s celebrate with Andrew Ripp’s great song, “Love’s Got a Way…”

‘Cause love’s got a way
Of bringing healing to a heart in pain
Making beauty from the ashes
Breaking chains one after another
Putting old lies to shame
Love’s got a way

Name something you might find in your garage:

1 – a car or truck
2 – a lawn mower or tractor
3 – a motorcycle
4 – a washer or dryer
5 – tools
