December
“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”
Good Morning
November has arrived, and with it, the peak of autumn. As the days grow shorter, Will and I have been trying to spend as much time outside as we can before winter settles in.
This past Saturday, we took the pups to Red River Gorge for a hike and a slow drive with the windows down. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more vivid fall scene—a landscape of glowing oranges, reds, and yellows that felt like walking through a painting. The photos from that day will no doubt find their way into future work.
God’s Word & My Own Thoughts
This has been a season of renewal and humility. The more I read Scripture and apply it to my own life, the more I realize how much I still have to learn and how much I still need to surrender. I’ve come to understand that growing up in church doesn’t automatically mean I’ve been living as a true follower of Christ or that I’ve been open to receiving the gifts He promises to those who love and obey Him.
It’s been a refining process shaped by both self-examination and the grace that meets me in it. There’s a tension there, a pull to hold onto sin in an effort to preserve pride, and yet a deep peace that comes only through confession and release. I’m learning that I can’t have both. But as I choose surrender, I know I will find Jesus waiting, ready to bring renewal, change, and real joy.
It’s a special thing to witness and document the changing of my own heart in real time.
“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”
