The church isn’t a consolation prize for the spouseless, childless, family-less. The church is my ultimate family.

I’m learning that my habits and the longings of my heart show me what kingdom my life is oriented toward.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed and busy with the holidays. By looking to stories of the season, we have tools to celebrate the birth of our Savior well.

We need to remember who we are in Jesus and what He’s calling us to do, and rituals give us an opportunity to do just that.

Through my cooking, I balance the tension of living with the longings from Eden and awaiting the hope of New Jerusalem. What’s your cooking?

I was afraid that whatever beauty I had in the eyes of culture would disappear with my hair. And friends, that’s bad theology.
