Derek used lacrosse to build relationships with students like Zac and invited them to hear the gospel. Because of this, Zac’s life was transformed, and he realized Lent wasn’t about fasting for the sake of fasting—it was fasting to get more of Christ.

sometimes innocent questions are the very best

he’s onto something here
“I know the malignancy of the soul. And He has a name — and His name is Jesus.” Kathie Lee Gifford boldly & beautifully sharing the Gospel, as she thanks Billy Graham for bringing her whole family to salvation in Christ.
Immigrants? What to think? When women like @
BethMooreLPM and @KayWarren1 and @JoniandFriends & so many wise sisters open their Bibles with a word about those who are vulnerable — it’s worth listening:
a vulnerable share about depression: “Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that He is not afraid of the depths to come get us. Maybe this water is not something that God is trying to teach me how to tread or to escape, but maybe this water is somewhere where He is trying to create something brand new in me… and so He is taking His time to teach me that as a new creation, He is all the air that I need.”
mom is fighting for acceptance for her son: “It’s his right to live in this world. I’m going to stand up for him.”
Post of the week from these parts here:
…feel like you’re too much? Not enough? What if: No more apologizing for being you. Just breathe:
What do you do when you wake up and feel like you’re not enough for your life? Or when you look out the kitchen window as dusk falls and wonder how do you live when life keeps breaking your heart?
In sixty vulnerably soulful stories, the highly anticipated The Way of Abundance moves from self-weary brokenness to Christ-focused givenness.
Christ Himself broke like bread, giving Himself to us so we might have a lifelong communion with Him. Could it be that our brokenness is also a gift to the world? These tender devotionals dare us to embrace any and all brokenness as a gift that moves us closer to the heart of God.
This gentle but exquisitely profound book does nothing less than take you on an intimate journey of the soul. Pre-Order Your Way to Abundance Here

he shares some good words here
we really do need each other
on repeat this week: Walking on Water
deep breath & smile — and the happy, relief of the whole shebang is? No one gets to joy by trying to make everything perfect.
One only arrives at joy by seeing in every imperfection all that is joy.
In the midst of all that’s been imperfect this week, there’s the perfect mercy of Jesus & when you can count on Him to be with you, to carry you, to hold you?
Yeah, you can just go face your weekend with JOY — No more saying sorry for being you, and more gratitude for being — just as you are, imperfect, in process, in Him.
[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]
That’s all for this weekend, friends.
Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.
Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
