What I love about sunsets is how they show God’s love. They’re a daily reminder of just how loving He is. No matter what the day has held, God still paints the sky. He still slows the world down. He still gives us something beautiful to witness. The sunset doesn’t solve everything, but it reminds me of what’s true: I am never alone. And as the sun slips away, I always carry this with me, His love doesn’t leave with it. It stays. Thank You, Jesus.

Oh thank You, Lord. My word for the year was joy and along the way, my heart kept singing, “More Than This.” I’d sing to God, “I’ll give You more than this. Not just a little. Not just part of me.” I learned what it meant to truly surrender, even when I didn’t understand. Jesus healed my heart, and that’s something I will forever be grateful for. I had no idea what this year was going to be about but now I can clearly see God’s hand all over it. I remember sitting on the step

Joy turned one on Christmas Eve. Love this girl. xoxo

Immanuel, God with us. In this season, may we remember that it is not when Jesus was born that matters most, but why. He came in the humblest way, born in a manger, so He could relate to everyone and so that anyone could come to Him. He came to ultimately become the sacrifice for our sins. What a precious, priceless gift. The Savior of the world chose humility. He chose closeness. He chose love. He stepped into our brokenness so we would never have to walk through life alone.
