#1 Stress or Confess

Isn’t it amazing how God uses stress to make Himself more real to us? In this post I shared about the chaotic morning that ensued after my alarm decided to take a day off … on the morning of our last and biggest Fresh Grounded Faith event of the year. I had a choice … stress or confess?

#2 Am I Praying to God or Worrying to God? written by my daughter-in-law Caroline

Sometimes we start our prayers “Dear God,” but then our minds wander and start to worry. Other times our minds start to write the ending to our stories instead of surrendering. Caroline invites you to start again and rest knowing that God hears you, He has His plans ready for you, and suffering draws you to Him.

#5 Eavesdropping #Guilty

I was so happy when I realized this post was on the top 5, because this post is about my favorite author – C.S. Lewis! This post all started because I was eavesdropping. It’s not because I am nosey that I eavesdrop … it’s because I’m blind! I can’t help that I hear really, really well. Read along to listen in on what I heard.

Thank you, friends, for journeying with me this past year. See you next year!
