when your progress feels invisible
Sourdough is a process. I can’t quite remember what day I started. All I remember is that it was a quiet, unassuming Tuesday. The leaves were yellowing on the branches, and I’d thrown open all the curtains in our home to let in as much of the dwindling fall light as possible.
This Changes Everything
“After meeting with El Roi (You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees), Hagar knew that if God could be with her in the wilderness, He would be with her in having to submit to Sarai also. It’s as if Hagar said to God, “You have looked upon me, and now I can look upon You.” That face-to-face relationship with God transforms.”

longing for another world
Take heart, friend. This isn't the end of your story. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. A new day will dawn, and God will show up with fresh mercy sufficient for each moment. He will hold your hand as you continue to trek towards home, clambering over rocky mountains and trudging through deep, muddy valleys. He will sit with you in your grief, binding up your gaping wounds with love that is too great for words. He will carry you when you feel like you just can't go on, ever closer to the Home you long for.
