That I May Know Him–part 2

Two months ago we moved to another country. Even though people here have been very kind to us, we are still in the process of developing close friendships.

I was really lookingContinue reading “That I May Know Him–part 2”

Encouragement Through Song

I discovered the song Shoulders from “For King and Country” a few months ago, right as we were getting ready to move overseas.

Encouragement Through Song

Last week, at our worship service, we sang the song, You Are Our Hope by Sovereign Grace. I thought, “Wow! This is the soundtrack for my series!” It was faith building to sing aloud, proclaiming Jesus is my Hope. Singing aloud affirms these truths to our hearts as we encourage one another. This song is all about how the Resurrection impactsContinue reading “Encouragement Through Song”
