3 Ways God’s Incredible Faithfulness Touches Us
He is faithful in the mundane, and he promises to be faithful in the details. We are much more than the sparrows flying across the pink-burnt sky. We are loved so much more.
13 Reminders for the TCK’s “Trip Home”
I’m flying to the USA soon. By the time this gets published, I’ll probably be there already. We’re going back to visit friends and family, and I’m tremendously excited.
But to be frank, going back to my passport country is nerve-wracking. Every single time.
Rest Triumphantly
