Devastated – Can I ever be restored?
It’s summer here in Utah and it’s warm. Often to get away from the heat we head to the mountains to cool off and spend a little time at a lake unwinding. Recently drove through an area that had had a devastating fire last fall. The fire burned for weeks destroying nearly an entire mountainside. As we drove up the mountain into the burned area, I was reminded how bad the fire had been. You could see the burned trees still standing, charred and black. Under them no foliage had yet begun to grow back. But what stuck out to me more than the damage done by the fire was…

The journey – Are we there yet?
Today I find myself on a new journey. A journey that is exciting but still a mystery. I believe most of us understand this idea as we have all encountered change along the journey of life. In fact, if we are believers, change is everyday, right? We are called to lay down our lives daily (1John 3:16), take up our cross and live a life that is surrendered to Christ (Matthew 16:24). That means each day, I am asking God to change me little by little. My life is ever moving towards the cross and learning how I can become more Christ like. There are those of us who hate…
