We’re in our last week of 2020 and I know that most of you are ready to bid this year goodbye and good riddance. It’s the ongoing theme; 2020 was the year from hell. I get it, it was tough, but what if throughout it all, something glorious was happening?
Read MoreRarely do we live in the present. Our minds are constantly racing to and fro between the past and the future. Worrying about things we can no longer change or things that are out of our control. I’ve heard so many times this year that God is in the present, not in the worries and cares of tomorrow or the mistakes of the past. He’s here now, right now, revealing Himself in ways that we often miss because our focus is elsewhere. There are so many treasures to be found in the present moment, fullness of joy, pleasures forevermore.
Read MoreThis week I am resting in this scripture. Not in the fact that I have several short-comings that will never measure up to the standard that God desires, but in the truth that even though I do not measure up, I am justified by the finished work of Christ. There is nothing that I can do to make myself more accepted by God, nothing that I can do to earn the beautiful gift of salvation. It is not of myself that I have been saved, but by the grace of God. I don’t have to prove myself. I don’t have to compete with others. I don’t have to measure up. My Savior has redeemed me and loves me fully. I am free. I can rest. We can rest.

I was constantly asking them to quiet down or give me some space so that I can actually write a sentence in peace. That got old quick.
Read MoreThe clock shows 8:27 am. The sunlight is beaming through the bedroom window. My husband (Miguel) says something that jolts me awake—nothing serious—but it’s enough to pull me out of the remnants of sleep and eventually, send us both laughing. We talk bout it for a few moments more, shaking our heads at the ridiculousness of the petty things that at one time would have sent us into a frenzy of annoyance. We shrug it off, say our good mornings, and head off to the bathroom to get changed for a morning swim.
