		<title>Redemption isn&#8217;t a commodity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Redemption is not a commodity. We are desperate for change. Broken people–which is all of us–want change. Devastated by sin done against us and despairing in sinful responses; we desire to be redeemed from it all. We want free from pain, suffering, and condemnation. For Christians, change is linked to repentance. Our brokenness translates in [...]]]></description>

		<title>God is my refuge.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alone. Afraid. Chaos. Thirteen years old. Living in a turbulent home, I sought simple shelter under my blankets.  Haunted by the threat of violence, my heart trembled with fear. Confused and confronted with burdens beyond my maturity, I tried to be strong. I couldn’t turn to anyone but God. Thankfully, Jesus made himself known to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fear and Trembling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What makes you Tremble? When are you speechless, in awe of God? Are you ever so overwhelmed with him that your only response is to tremble? His holiness, his story, and the sheer knowledge of the one true God is so magnificent that to be aware of him is to fear him. God’s power is [...]]]></description>

I am trying to understand some specific heart struggles for women- as I continue to study and grow in similar areas. I am going to ask 10 questions for the next [...]]]></description>

		<title>Striving and Enduring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Running&#8230;.for&#8230;what? Why all this striving? Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our [...]]]></description>

		<title>This IS ENVY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All blessings are from God. Sometimes, we receive his gifts gratefully: a promotion, a redeemed relationship, beauty, wealth, a baby, opportunities, a favor, the list goes on. But at other times, we envy. In scripture, envy is about discontentment and rivalry that breaks down relationships. It starts with comparing what they have and what you [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Good Portion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her” (Luke 10:42). What is the “Good Portion?” Often distracted with much serving like Martha, I stop worshiping. I can turn inward and worry or get busy with work when I could be choosing Jesus, the Good [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peace via Prayer not Planning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:1 Planning is a personal strength of mine, not Prayer.  Often, when overwhelmed by chaos or fear, I am compelled to regain peace through a great plan, not a dependent prayer. Recently, we began home-schooling our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mary, Martha &amp; Jesus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In this sermon, Pastor Mark teaches about how in Luke chapter 10, Mary and Martha respond differently to Jesus. This story was part of my repentance 4 years ago and has continued to be a foundational in my blog. I am thankful to Pastor Mark for communicating it well!]]></description>

		<title>Worship via Attention</title>

Perhaps, you practically and mentally live out a rich understanding of calling in thoughtful worship by prioritizing your roles and tasks with humility and repentance&#8230;? Well&#8230;Most of [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Calling, NOT New Identity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[20 years ago, I met Jesus. He has continued to love me, extend constant grace, and show me more of who He is. Long ago, I began dreaming of ways to live out who Jesus wants me to be. One of those dreams was to be a mommy. Another was to teach my children. As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rest, What&#8217;s that?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Work, I get. It is familiar and mostly comfortable. Rest, however feels awkward, difficult and hardly feels satisfying. The other side of work is REST. Both work and rest are amazing opportunities for worship. God has had me on a journey full of difficult twists and turns- learning how to depend on Him in my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worship in Ambition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are you ambitious? When you examine your life or heart, where do you see yourself tending towards selfish ambition? Are you finding that God is maturing your heart motivations towards Godly ambition?

		<title>Groaning vs. Grumbling in Suffering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you ever think you are groaning but you are actually grumbling? Sometimes, we mistake one for the other. We are always suffering in some way and we are always sinning in some way. Our very nature is sinful and our interaction with the world and other sinners brings suffering into our lives, daily.

		<title>God the Working Father</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Often, I am consumed with my work, working out my faith, working on my home, family, tasks, whatever. My eyes are easily looking at what my job is and I lose sight of God’s work. God is paying attention to me and is working on me. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Godly Confidence in Competence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My relationship with work is complicated. I don’t just work and worship. I tend to grab the glory for myself when I accomplish work and I tend to work by will power and self-sufficiency than humble dependence on God. Just yesterday, I felt proud with all that I got done in the day. Pride sucks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worship in Your Weakness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I despise weakness&#8230; I get overwhelmed. Relational debt, housework debt, and the dread of some procrastinated project sneak up, drain the life out of me, and leave me feeling  discouraged and flat out weak.  Those overwhelming moments reveal my true weakness. Yet too often, I deny it. Blind with ambition, I reach for my bootstraps, [...]]]></description>
