Sharing how a compliment I received after a talk ties into the way I'm trying to see birthdays as I get older, and how Mary and her Assumption help me with this! I'm also reflecting on how God has been working in powerful and tangible ways in my life this past year!
Sharing a beautiful full-circle moment that came about from a retreat I spoke at recently. God is not limited by circumstances, and it's exciting when we can see Him at work in tangible ways. All glory to God!
Sharing the parallel between the waiting in my life and in the season of Advent, along with what God can do in the waiting. Waiting doesn't have to be a passive waste of time! So many spiritual gifts can be born of the waiting process, and hope sustains us.
Sharing 3 specific things that catapulted my spiritual growth and allowed me to experience more joy this year, as I measure birthdays by spiritual growth instead of numbers (because who wants to get older?!).
Gratitude doesn’t make the grief disappear, but with God’s grace there can still be gratitude and deeper experiences in the midst of grief.
