Satisfaction Through Christ

Remembering Mandy Kelly from Worshipful Living

Tuesday, March 21, started like any other day around our house. I got the kids off to school and came home to do some work. Around 9:30 a member of our Facebook Mastermind Group (a group of about 10 Christian women bloggers that support one another through blogging and life) posted that she'd seen some chatter on Mandy's Facebook profile and wanted to see how we could pray for her.

I know that many atheists and intellectuals (I bet … {Read More}

+ Grace & Truth {Week 27}

Yes, weeks later, my heart is still breaking over the fallout within the church over the Supreme Court decision to legalize same-sex marriage. No, it was no surprise that a worldly government would make such a worldly decision, but the church. My friends, members of the church, are falling apart and failing to completely stand on the word of God. It is in this time that we realize which friends … {Read More}

I’ve Stopped Saying “God is Good” + Grace & Truth {Week 26}

I've been through a ton of hard, hard stuff in life - cancer, infertility, a failed adoption, an ectopic pregnancy. But through it all, I know without a doubt that "God is good"! I was a little skeptical before clicking over to Kelsey's post this week. I wasn't sure what I'd find when I clicked over to Why I've Stopped Saying "God is Good". But, I was pleasantly surprised and reminded of the … {Read More}
