As we sat side by side watching our kids’ practice, he showed concern about an issue with his son. I could relate. 

I have a nostalgic personality. I find comfort in stability and often feel threatened by change. In contrast, my husband dreams about change. Somehow, together, we have learned to trust God in several times of transition, but I would have preferred a manual at the start of the journey.

When I first began leading and sharing in ministry responsibilities, I was full of vision and optimism. 

I’m a practical Midwestern girl, born to a certified public accountant. 

In the past year, I have found myself in more conversations about Jesus with people outside the Christian faith than in any other year since college.

On the surface, I go to church because I should, because I said I would, and because I want to model church attendance to my kids. But, if I can step outside my negativity and sense of drudgery about it, I remember that I go because I’m part of a family.

Have you ever attempted something that would certainly result in failure?
