While I'm on a summer break, I'm sharing my favorite blogs and reads from this year! Read the blog at the link in my bio.

One Word: Immanuel

One Verse: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" which means, God with us. Matthew 1:23

One Thought: Jesus, you came to earth to be God with us. To identify with us, to be with us every moment. In our humanness, it's easy to feel alone. Help me to walk in the truth today that you are Immanuel - God with me. Help _________ to realize that you are Immanuel in his or her life today.

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to hike! I love noticing many different things in His creation and thank him specifically for each one. This is one small step in His “stilling me.” To provide more time for small Sabbath moments, I’ll be taking a summer break from blogging. However, I will be back in late August with some stories of my 9th big hike with my friend Melody. To kick off summer, I've put together a list of my favorite recent blogs and books I've read! Check it out in the link in my bio.

One Word: Hope One Verse: “For you O Lord are

One Word: Hope

One Verse: “For you O Lord are my hope, my trust O Lord, from my youth." Psalm 71:5

One Thought: Lord, it's too easy for me to put my hope in circumstances, dreams, or people. And I'm usually disappointed. Forgive me, Father for counting on others (and situations) to give me hope. Only you can give me pure hope that lasts. Please help me look to you as my primary source and fill me with hope today.

One Word: Chose One Verse: “You did not choose

One Word: Chose

One Verse: “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you." John 15:16

One Thought: Father, thank you for choosing me! What joy it can bring to my heart (and to my child's heart) to walk through this day with the thought, You chose me!
