What I want you to see when you watch us live:

we stumble over the references we can sometimes speak by heart.

we forgot the names of prominent places in the Bible, i.e., Sea of Galilee.

we lose our train of thought and sometimes get the details wrong.

we have to stop and respond to our first calling, motherhood.

What I want you to see is that we are women just like you. We aren’t perfect. We aren’t super theologians. We fail. We forget. We fall short.

But we love Jesus. We think he’s worth talking about.

And we love you. We think you’ve got what it takes to do what he’s called you to do. We think you’re someone we want to lock arms with on this journey with Christ.

I wanted you to see us- without the edits. without the re-takes. without the pause button.

Because if you can see the real, you will know we are just like you. ❤️

Only Jesus can transform your life. Take whatever he has given you and use it for His glory.

I know summer has arrived when I have fresh blueberries drying on the counter.

God sends me blueberries.

It may seem silly, but blueberries remind me of God’s love for me.

There’s a whole story behind this, but the TLDR is this:

God has sent blueberries to me on several occasions through friends and family who had NO idea that every tiny blueberry 🫐 is a reminder of his love.

On one of my hardest days adjusting to life in GA - years ago now- my sweet neighbor dropped a bag of blueberries at my door. Jared planted blueberry bushes in SC for me but we had to leave them behind before our first harvest.

The way God shows his love through even the tiniest of things is a constant reminder that I can trust Him.

I can trust him with my best days and my most difficult days.

So, yeah, God sends me blueberries.

The suffering of Mary, the mother of Jesus.

I often think about what it must have been like to be Mary. What would it be like to hold the Savior in your arms? What would it feel like to look into the eyes of the child who would ultimately rescue the world from death? What did his little voice sound like? Did he like to be rocked to sleep? Oh, to have held that baby!

The older I get, the more I realize that Mary’s calling to be the mother of Jesus was a calling to a life of suffering.

When the angel showed up in her home her life, the one she had planned, was turned upside down.

She had to tell Joseph she was pregnant, he assumed she had been unfaithful. Pain.

She was an u***d pregnant woman which bore great shame. Pain.

She carried and delivered a son whose life was threatened from birth. Pain.

She listened as people taunted and mocked her son. Pain.

She watched as soldiers tortured and beat him until he was unrecognizable. Pain.

She stood at the foot of the cross and stared up at the broken, lifeless body of her son. Pain.

Her son became her Savior in the same way that he became ours, but the pain she felt was different. It was the suffering of a mother.

So often we fall into the lie that Jesus wants us to be happy. We get caught up in the idea that if he truly loved us we wouldn’t go through difficult stuff. We begin to believe that if Jesus was really interested, he would spare us the pain.

If we look at what his own mother suffered we would see that it’s NOT in his love that he SPARES us from pain. It’s IN his love that he PURSUES us through our pain.

Our goal should not be happiness, it should be holiness. And when we seek to let the pains of this world draw us closer to the cross, we begin to look a little more like Jesus. And we lay down our goal of happiness and from the foot of the cross we find joy.

Joy even in the midst of suffering so that we, like Mary, would be found faithful.

Today I put on a t-shirt that says “God wastes nothing” and I almost crumbled beneath the weight of that truth.

God didn’t waste one ounce of pain that I experienced as a child. He’s made my life an example of his desire to bring beauty from ashes. He has given me a story of

His graciousness.

His goodness.

His faithfulness.

And because of that, my testimony is a a vessel for his glory.

Our God is One who rewrites our stories. He turns our darkest moments into beacons of light.
He takes broken hearts and makes beautiful stories.

Of hope.

Of restoration.

Of redemption.

I’m telling you, friend, those parts of your story that you think are too messy, too painful, too personal- he can make all of that new.

Because God wastes nothing.

“A perfect church doesn’t exist. A perfect pastor doesn’t exist. A perfect congregation doesn’t exist. So don’t worry about trying to find one.”

This post from Susannah B. Lewis is everything you need to read before Easter Sunday.
