“- and aren’t we all just looking for a safe place these days?” Ann Voskamp

Saturday was different. It was unique. It was rich. It was deep. It was refreshing. It was healing. It was fun. It was social. It was honest. It was new. It was old. It was encouraging. It was comforting. It was uncomfortable. It was change. It was needed.

Redeemed is a verb here.

God is in the business of continual freeing his people from bo***ge into his kinship. Redemption is God bringing the wholeness of us into freedom and safety. God’s mission is to redeem ALL things. ALL things is a depth you and I cannot understand. Redeemed is the action of the redeemer. Redemption is the responsibility of the Lords.

But like most things with God, because we are loved by him we get a purpose, a part, and a responsibility in His works.

We get the grace and the gift to tell about it. In fact, we MUST share our stories of his redeeming in our lives.

Attend & Consider are verbs:
Psalms 107 ends with this, “ whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.” Through the invitation of attending, we are to hold fast, be aware, and guard the works of the Lord in our life.
Therefore, we must consider. This is a call to teach, examine, and understand the wonderful redeeming works of God in our lives, in the lives of others, and in the community of believers!

It’s what it’s all about.

I think today is one of the most unifying days in our remembrance of the work accomplished through the cross. It is a day that is in between, the in-between, of the in-between. All the people of history from Adam, Abraham, and Moses, to the prophets, the people and nation of Israel, the disciples, followers, to new believers in Jesus Christ can all come together under the one breath we hold as we… wait.

The longing, anticipation, the hope for what is to come: a king, a savior, and a second coming. It was true then; it is true now. God, Yahweh, redeemed a people and delivered a king to a nation. He sent his perfect, and holy son for all, and He will come again. We can all in our imperfect, rebellious, sinful ways wait in the already, but not yet.

Today always serves as a reminder for my heart that this tension we experience, and the waiting we endure is a testament to the infinite grace and goodness of a God who just wants a relationship with his people. The waiting is the preparing. In the preparation, we can look back into the stories of our past, sit in our present, and hope for our future all working towards the culmination of “You will be my people, and I will be your God.”

I challenge you to lean into waiting today, don’t overlook the tensious beauty of waiting.

Here are three scriptures that bind us together in waiting for what is to come all given to a particular people at a particular time for a particular purpose. May these encourage you to know that you are not alone, but rather a part of a rich historical faith community.

Save us we all cry out.

This all started at a story night.

Juana attended our first night of story where she was deeply impacted by the storyteller. God met her in her desperate need of a savior through and by story. She then jumped right into our cohort where we spent a year together.

She was blessed and we were blessed by her. We will forever have a special connection with Juana, and be forever grateful for her friendship, and lifelong support along this journey into eternity.

By supporting Grace Narrative’s community story event you are allowing more opportunities like this. You will be supporting connection, friendship, and moments where God can meet us in the deepest of places of need.

We are eternally grateful for Juana, and for all those who have made Grace Narrative events and cohorts possible through your gifts and donation. Please consider giving for our upcoming story event. We are a 501c3 non-profit, and all gifts and donations Are tax deductible.

Our ministry is committed to cultivating connections within our community through the sharing of stories. We believe that by weaving narratives of pain and triumph into transformative threads, we can collectively know ourselves, empathize with others, and strengthen our relationship with God. We value living out our God given purpose from a place of rest and believe community, connection, and story can help us along the way!

No matter where you are on the long but beautiful journey of motherhood, any one mother can resonate with the crying question of ‘Why?’. From the simple things of toddlerhood like” WHY won’t you go to sleep?” to the desperate plea of crying out for understanding and relief because “Why d...

In life, fear often doesn’t show up in the ways we expect. It can be subtle, creeping into our thoughts and emotions, causing us to doubt ourselves and God’s plan for us. In these moments, it’s important to slow down and reflect on what is truly causing our fear.

A posture of surrender is needed to fight fear with the one we trust in - God. Surrendering our fears to Him requires us to let go of our own understanding and trust in His plan for us. It’s a daily choice to release our fears and anxieties to God, knowing that He is in control and has our best interests at heart.

As Christians, we are called to have faith over fear, trusting that God will guide us and protect us through every storm. When we surrender our fears to Him, we are reminded of His presence and love for us, giving us the strength and courage to face whatever comes our way.
