Emily T. Wierenga writer. artist. president of The Lulu Tree I’m a baker (and breaker) of bread. I used to starve. Now I feed people. I love much, because I’ve been forgiven much.

I like to kiss my husband of 20 years, hug my three kids, snowboard, paint on canvas, read beautiful books, worship on my guitar, write words and travel. You can often find me in my pajamas, staring out the window. Like Burton Rascoe says, a writer is working when he’s staring out the window. My favorite places are the poorest places. That’s where I really sing. When I’m not in Canada, where I liv

e on a farm, I’m hanging out in villages in Africa and Asia. I’m a little ‘e’ with a big God. www.emilytwierenga.com

"This is the place we become human, the place Christ becomes human, the place God meets with man and passes the cup. This, where the Spirit stares us in the eyes, laughs, tells us we are loved, and please pass the bread, while Father serves the lamb..."

Do you long for this table, friends? Do you hunger for the God who became human? He's knocking... will you open the door?

They lost everything.... and God gave them more!

Praises from Venezuela:

Pastor Felipe and Anahis found a home to purchase.

The Lord led them to a house for sale, and the owners dropped the price considerably so they were able to purchase it. Our local leaders raised extra funds and were able to purchase a washer, gas range, 2 AC units and a TV for them.

Praise GOD for this tremendous blessing!!!

Hi friends! 💛

It's my 46th birthday today, and I want to invite you over to my farmhouse — to sit across the long wooden table from me with a cup of chai or coffee — and to share what the Lord has been teaching me about His love.

I recorded a new Bible study for Online Women's Bible Study called Commune with Me, walking through Ephesians 3:16–19 — the height, width, length, and depth of Christ's love. For years I chased that love as a feeling. But the Lord has been teaching me, through some very real seasons, that His love is so much deeper than that: it's a love we're rooted in, and then called to pour out.

We'll sit with Ruth, with Paul, and with the friends who tore open a roof just to get their friend to Jesus. And I think it will meet you right where you are.

"The worship team begins to lead us. Mum rises awkwardly to touch heaven with her soft palms, her face lifted and eyes closed like she’s asleep on God’s chest. This is a good day. Sometimes we have to bring Mum to church in a wheelchair because her legs won’t work right.

We sound a bit like the seagulls, but it’s holy somehow, like the juice, like creation, in all of its dying and being reborn..."
