Everything is a small thing

So often we feel a pressure to make our mark on the world. We believe that unless we do something "big" our life has not mattered at all. Jesus shows us that he does beautiful work through small things.

A Table Prepared for Me

Jesus has a table prepared here in the midst of my foggy confusion. He is inviting me to be with him and talk with him about my feelings. And although everything doesn’t magically fix itself, I feel safe and seen by God, and that is what I need right now.

Simple Faith

4 years of college and all that money gone, and I’m here working at the coffee shop living at home, Sarah thought angrily. I thought you had a plan for my life, God. I thought I was supposed to do something. But here I am, what good am I? Where are you?
