walk with me through this journey
I started Words Along the Way Instagram page at the start of a journey in growth the Lord had begun to take me through years ago when I was living in Asia doing missions work. Doing ministry or missions is the kind of humbling experience that exposes all of your weaknesses and broken places. While processing those weaknesses, I'd find myself often writing poetry or using writing to help me express what He was speaking to me. This blog is a continuation of those times in secret place that I share with you all as an invitation to also go deep with Jesus wherever you're at.
freedomWaiting // march 27. 2023For the most part we know that we can have freedom in Christ. But, what does that mean? I am learning this in a new way. Psalm 40, a Psalm of King David, describes it for us.
Verses 1-2 tell us that David waited patiently for the LORD, God turned to him, and he heard David. This alone is a comfort, to know that God turns towards us in the midst of uncertainty and waiting to listen when we cry out to Him. he clothed themsecurity // november 29, 2022For many years of my life, Christmas was special because it was a hugely celebrated by everyone around me, it was tradition, even after I became a Christian. It wasn't actually until the last few years of my life when I began intentionally sharing the gospel with my friends in Asia and inviting them to celebrate it with me, that I truly began to appreciate the deep beauty of this season.
It is an appointed time to reflect on the glory and wonder of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am convinced that if we don't do this, we are truly missing out on the best part of Christmas. |
