The Incarnational Love – and Laughter – of Christ

By Emily Theresa

It’s the balloons that get me.

Twenty mothers are seated on the floor. They’re from Mudur, Sri Lanka and they’re seated in elegance, wearing their best dresses, their bare feet crossed. Some have brought their children, and the pastor sits on the floor of the church with them. They’ve got Bibles in hand, and notebooks which they’ve been given.

And they are holding ball

Quotes by Emily T. Wierenga (?)

“God’s love for us often looks like suffering. It often looks like the silhouette of the cross, when in fact it is the sun beyond that silhouette, rising on the third day.”
― Emily T. Wierenga, Atlas Girl: Finding Home in the Last Place I Thought to Look

“I know God is here in the nature and the people, but more than that, he is within me. The kingdom of heaven is where I belong. It is where all of my journeys have been taking me. And no place on earth can match the welcome that is found in God’s arms.”
― Emily T. Wierenga, Atlas Girl: Finding Home in the Last Place I Thought to Look

Emily is my idol. I have struggled literally half of my life with eating disorders, but since I found Emily's blog contributions and book, I have found hope and peace. Recovery is possible, and Emily is a beautiful example of God's work through trials to create fabulous triumph!
