The Broken, The Better

In every recalling of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, it is reported that He rode in on a donkey. Look up the definition of a donkey, and you'll find some pretty harsh words – like stupid and foolish. But in Jesus' eyes, He saw the donkey as peaceful and humble. And that's exactly how Jesus …

Our Moments

Everyone takes a collective sigh of relief in January. The hectic bustle of the holidays is ending, and there’s this sense of starting over lurking in the minds of most. But in the same sigh that comes relief, there’s a sigh of sadness. Sadness that it’s really over. Another holiday season gone, and the new …

What Holy Week Has Taught Me

There is freedom in Jesus Christ. Freedom from the box the world tries to put you in and even the one you unintentionally put yourself in. It’s easy to claim that accepting Jesus into your life and following Him each day limits your freedom from the outside looking in, but you’ll find this to be …

DIY Hanging Signs

I was overjoyed when I found these hanging signs at Dollar Tree, and I knew exactly what to do with them. I've been eyeing two signs in particular from Target and Amazon, but these signs gave me the inspiration to make my own personalized versions for less. It was super simple to do. I grabbed …
