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.

Pumpkin Loaf (with Caramelized Walnut Topping)
One of the great things about fall is definitely pumpkin and spice (although, I did read an article about how the nostalgia of pumpkin spice makes it taste better than it actually is). At any rate, this pumpkin bread takes advantage of both the goodness of pumpkins and spice. Iconic. The caramelized walnut topping lends a fun crunch. This loaf is sure to be a hit!
little, ordinary life
"This job has been given to me to do.
Therefore, it is a gift.
Therefore, it is a privilege.
Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God.
Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him.
Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God's way.
In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness."
- Elisabeth Elliot
It is well with my soul
I stumbled across Ann Voskamp's multivitamins a couple of weeks ago, which inspired me to share my own version. If you've never heard of it before, I highly recommend it. Essentially, Voskamp shares a collection of articles, photos, posts, and recipes designed to remind readers of the good gifts God has given and shift one's perspective from the earthly to the heavenly. God has provided tangible experiences of His love and faithfulness, and I wanted to share some of the things that are ministering to my soul.
