A Prayer of Freedom
Oh Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us, for we are sinners. But by your grace, Lord, we are free. With you, there is freedom. Help us to walk in that freedom today. To look at the sin and shame and guilt that so easily entangles us and know that you have cut loose the ties of the snare. We are no longer bound. Though the enemy would have us believe otherwise, we know that you are good, and we believe you when you say that we are free indeed. So Lord, on this day, fill us with your Spirit and help us to know deep down in our souls that we are really and truly free. In your presence, we are free.
Free to live in wonder of your grace and mercy.
Free to spend our lives in reckless pursuit of our liberator and deliverer.
Free to walk away from who we used to be and grow into the women that you have created us to be.
Free to laugh. Free to love. Free to experience joy and peace and hope. Free to be yours.
Now and forever, Lord, may your name be praised.
Amen and amen.
Free to live in wonder of your grace and mercy.
Free to spend our lives in reckless pursuit of our liberator and deliverer.
Free to walk away from who we used to be and grow into the women that you have created us to be.
Free to laugh. Free to love. Free to experience joy and peace and hope. Free to be yours.
Now and forever, Lord, may your name be praised.
Amen and amen.

Everyone Needs a Hype Squad
Everyone needs a personal hype squad, people who are in their corner cheering them on in good times and bad. As believers, we're called to encourage those in our circles who are rocking life and those who are struggling along.
But Dust
We live in a world that is constantly trying to push back the “dustiness” of our humanity, from creams for fine lines to hair dyes meant to cover those pesky grays. None of these things are evils, in and of themselves, but sometimes I wonder if we use them as a concealment to try to ignore the truth before our eyes, that we are in fact, dust.
No Time to Waste
What does it look like to make the best use of our time? We’ve only got 24 hours in the day, and most of us spend at least 6-8 of them sleeping. Work and caring for our families takes up a good chunk of the remainder, so there’s really not a lot left over when it's all said and done.
