Reflections on Stories From the Journey
Spring Renewal: What to Let Go in This Season
“Spring isn’t just about new growth—it’s about the courage to let dead things fall away. Like Maria, many of us carry the heavy stones of others’ expectations and the weeds of old obligations. This season, give yourself permission to clear the ground. Explore our Spring Renewal guide to identify what you’re ready to release and create space for the peace God is inviting you into.”
The Story of Peace: “It Is Well With My Soul”
“Horatio Spafford stood on a ship crossing the Atlantic, sailing over the spot where his four daughters had drowned. There, he wrote ‘It Is Well With My Soul.'”
A Story of Sight Beyond Blindness: Blessed Assurance
“Blinded at six weeks old, Fanny Crosby wrote 8,000 hymns and saw God’s glory more clearly than those with perfect sight. Her story redefines limitation.”
A Story of Redemption: “Amazing Grace”
“From slave trader to hymn writer: John Newton’s journey from darkness to grace produced the most beloved hymn in history. His story proves no one is beyond redemption.”
A Story of Faith & Grief: “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”
Joseph Scriven lost everything twice—his fiancées, his homeland, and even battled chronic depression—yet he gave the world one of its most beloved hymns, ‘What a Friend We Have in Jesus.’ This is the story of faith, grief, and enduring friendship with God.”
You are Not Invisible to God
Excerpt:
Being the “last one standing” can feel like becoming a ghost in a world that moves too fast. But even when you feel forgotten by society, you are the focus of your Creator’s unwavering gaze. You aren’t just “fading away”—you are being carried home by the One who knows your name.
Learning to Love Like Christ
Christlike love isn’t a fleeting feeling or a grand stage performance—it’s a quiet, daily choice to see people through Jesus’ eyes, even when it costs you.
The Healing Touch
After twelve years of suffering and silence, one quiet touch changed everything. In Mark 5:22–34, we discover a Savior who stops in the middle of urgency to restore not just health—but identity, dignity, and peace.

Starting Your Own Testimony: Record God’s Faithfulness Now
We often admire the deep, unshakable faith of our elders, but we forget that their ‘decades of faithfulness’ started with a single day. Your testimony isn’t something that happens when you’re 70—it’s being written right now, in your 20s, 30s, and 40s. ✍️✨
The problem? Life moves fast, and memories fade. If we don’t record God’s work today, we won’t have the evidence we need for tomorrow. Whether it’s a small provision or a major breakthrough, every entry is a ‘stone of remembrance’ for your future self and your children.
Stop relying on your memory and start building your history with God. Here is how to record the ‘Ebenezer’ moments of your life before they are lost to time.

Finding Hope in the Wilderness
Are you in a season that feels like a dry, empty desert? 🌵 Whether it’s a career struggle, a broken heart, or an uncertain future, the ‘wilderness’ can feel lonely. But in the Bible, the desert isn’t a dead end—it’s a place of preparation.
Inspired by Sarah’s story of unexpected provision and the timeless wisdom of Isaiah 41, this week’s reflection explores why God’s ‘delays’ are often His ‘development.’ Learn how to find your anchor when the storms of life try to pull you away. Hope isn’t a feeling; it’s a choice to trust the One who creates rivers in the wasteland. 🌊✨
