The Lord is calling. What’s your answer?
About four years ago, while Hunter and I were living in Arkansas, a friend of mine took me to my favorite lunch spot in town. As we sat down with our tomato soup and grilled sandwiches (I love a good sammie…), she asked me what was next for us. We were coming to a point in our lives that required many big decisions about our careers, moving to a new place and God-sized dreams. I mentioned to her Hunter applied to several places around the country, and I was going to apply to a few places in central Ohio, specifically a public relations job I was ecstatic about. At that…

Good Morning Easter Devotional Day 5 – The hope of full restoration
Good morning! It’s day 5 of the Good morning easter devotional! Thanks for joining us! I’m so excited you’re here! Happy Good Friday! Today we remember what makes Good Friday good. And it’s Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. It sounds really weird to celebrate someone’s death, but today is not where the story ends, thank goodness. Jesus’s death was not defeat, this was a victory. Good Friday is filled with Good News. The devotional says, “On the cross, Jesus ended the reign of sin and death in the world—the “old order of things has passed away.” He took the punishment we deserved for our rebellion against God. Now, if we…
