I'm reading an incredible book right now: Let Hope In by Pete Wilson. I've finished the first eight chapters and I think I've underlined over half of it. I'll be sharing a full review in early November but this weekend, I just wanted to share some of the wisdom Pete has offered. I love this reminder that my redemption isn't based on me and what I do or who I am ... it's all God. And His love truly does change everything! This weekend and as you prepare your heart for worship tomorrow, ... [Read More]

Sadly though, I think it's a gift we reject far too often. We'd rather be busy, accomplishing, working, straining, pushing.
