While I will write my thoughts today below for my devotional for Day 6 & 5, in light of the passage being 2 Samuel 22 where David sings a song of deliverance for how God has come for him and rescued him, I wanted to first share how you can be praying for us as…
2 Corinthians 12: 1-10 Today marks 1 week until Dasah is born, one week until she enters our arms, one week until we find out just how quickly she may then enter the arms of Jesus. It’s hard not to think ahead to those days. Perhaps as you’ve been reading these devotionals you’ve noted…
Isaiah 43: 16 -21 “Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick; Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold,…
Psalm 34 Today, as I studied Psalm 34 I simply made it the prayer of my heart, in my own words… “Lord, I will bless you at all times. Your praise shall continually be in my mouth in the joy and in the sorrow. My soul, Oh Lord my soul makes its boast in you!…
2 Corinthians 5:11- 6:17 “As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.” – 2 Corinthians 6:10 I came across this sermon on part of this passage a few days ago and was eager to listen to it. As I read through this passage and then…

2 Corinthians 4 The past few days I’ve had some honest conversations with the Lord. What does it really mean to not lose heart in this season of so much loss, so much pain? As our c-section quickly approaches (17 days away)… everything just feels heavy. I have been wrestling with this chapter in 2…
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the…
Psalm 43 I hesitate to write tonight because 1. I want everyone to read what my husband, Kevin wrote on hope on day 24 and just sit on those thoughts as I am (so if you haven’t read that, just don’t read any further and go read his post!) and 2. My brain has been like…
If I was writing a story for a great movie, the last 2 years is not the story I would write for us. What I long for—and what I’m drawn to in great movies and books—is that ultimate redemption that comes in the midst of great tragedy. Epic stories all have great tragedy. The moment…
