Are there times it seems God is asking too much of you? Perhaps it feels that your trials will overtake you. But as Joni reflects on a favorite song, she considers how trials are actually blessings. For it is through life’s hardest challenges that you are forced into the arms of Jesus.

What’s Happening in Afghanistan? Stories from Believers on the Ground with Jennie Allen and Pastor X
From Jennie Allen: “What we are witnessing right now is the decimation of the country and people of Afghanistan. The Taliban has a hit list of known Christians that they are targeting to hunt down and kill. But these believers are not hopeless… I’ve had 3 conversations this week with my friend Pastor X and his team that have changed my faith. History has shown that persecution grows the church and you guys… these Jesus followers on the ground in Afghanistan are still on mission, hopeful, and willing to die for their faith.”
Thank you, Sam Allberry: The truest thing about you is that you are the one whom Jesus truly loves.
In this video, we’ll explore the “water of life” theme through the biblical story and see how it leads to Jesus, who presents himself as the one bringing living water to a world that is desperately thirsty.

Joy is actually possible, right where you are.
Take the dare to discover: Life is not an emergency…Life is a GIFT. Life is too short to do anything but truly savor it — to count all the ways you truly loved.
What if Brokenness is the Path into the Abundant Life?
You don’t have to be afraid of broken things — because Christ is redeeming everything.
There’s no other authentic way forward — but a broken way — right into a profoundly abundant life.
Journey into a deeply meaningful life with this devotional and take sixty steps from heart-weary brokenness to Christ-focused abundance. The Way of Abundance — is the way forward every heart needs.
Be the Gift is a tender invitation into the next step of deeper transformation, less stress, more joy and abundantly more peace & purpose. You only get one life to love well…to Be The Gift.
on repeat this week: Where I’m Standing Now
…prayer isn’t about getting what you desperately want,
but about getting more of the One Who desperately wants you.
What if we bravely lived what we humbly pray:
Your kingdom come —
not our kingdom.
Your will be done —
not ours.
Your story be written —
not our way, but Your way, because You alone are The Way.
Because you alone are God — and we are not.
And our problems fade in the light of Your gentle face, Your tender embrace….
[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
