'With great power there must also come - great responsibility!' Yes, I finally watched The Amazing Spiderman today...I know, it's about time. And yes, I am a superhero movie geek. But the message is the same for us...as a believer in the universal reign of King Jesus, you have been given great power. 'But you will … Continue reading go

silence
**Forewarning: this blog post completely changed from ‘Silence is beautiful and we need more of it…’ following a really ‘happy’ blog post, to what you read here. Beware, it wasn’t me…it was the one I serve. If you are looking for beautiful silence, probably find a different blog…because the silence you read here is a … Continue reading silence

I have a problem. No surprise to many, but for others...it's confession time. Hi, my name is Stephanie, and I have a problem saying 'No.' It's simple really because I view everything through the lens of God's Kingdom work. And most everything easily falls under that umbrella. Not counting how many loop holes it took … Continue reading no
shadow
It follows you everywhere. It is the darkest part of you. It is your shadow. It can be hilarious to play with your shadow, and all it takes is some sun and a convenient flat space. But what if we thought about our shadow in terms of what we trails us? By what we leave … Continue reading shadow
night
Night brings quiet. Night brings peace. Night has an unmistakable, crisp scent. Night brings darkness and fear, but night brings stars. A light in the darkness. Since I was a little girl, as soon as the sun disappeared my lips could not contain the endless flow of words. My best conversations have all taken place … Continue reading night
thirst
I had never been drinking so much water in my entire life...yet constantly thirsty. We were sweating out liquid faster than we could take it into our bodies. We were in Haiti...and it was HOT. We were reliant on water from massive multi gallon jugs, and by the end of the week we were running precariously … Continue reading thirst
leave
There is one place on this earth that rips my soul in two to leave. It is a palpable sound to God's ears because after all, he is the one that sends me. The echo of that rip haunts me when I leave. A good haunt though, a reminder that things are not right in … Continue reading leave
earthly
Have you ever felt liked you couldn’t escape something God was trying to teach you? For example, a word that keeps popping up EVERY. WHERE. In music, scripture, conversations…no matter how far you run. It’s still there! Well, lately…that word is dust. Ironic…because there is no dust to be found in KC right now. We’ve … Continue reading earthly

My eyes are closed and my soul is in conflict. So many things tackling my senses at once and my mind has trouble processing what my eyes have just seen. When I open my eyes…it’s still there so far below me. The trash. The dump. The ants scurrying over it…wait, no...those are people. There are … Continue reading hear

Arguments, confrontation and walls so thick that a wrecking ball wouldn’t be able to break it down...it drives me crazy when believers fight. I get that family members have fights, especially when we are passionate people. But what does that show non-believers if we can’t get along? Would you want to be a part of … Continue reading lift
