My husband and I are going through a difficult time. He’s been out of work this whole year. God has prompted us to sell our current home and find one less expensive. But what makes this so hard is that this is my dream house. Not that it’s perfect, but it’s a tad bit out…

This week we have a beautiful guest post from Amy K. Rognlie inspired by John 4:4-42 where Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman at the well. <3 It was noon, the hottest part of the day, of course. And she was out of water, again. Of course. Sharaya rose wearily from her place on the dirt…

May 8, 2017MiraleeFerrell2 CommentsDevotional, Miralee Ferrell

By Miralee Ferrell Pretty, isn’t it? I see Mount Hood (from a different perspective) every time I drive home, and I love it. But I’m not crazy about the mountains that keep rearing up in my path as I journey through life. We’ve had more than our share of those the past few years, and most of…
