If the Almighty directs our steps, we've no need to look back over our shoulders.

His Name will never fall. His Name will never be defeated. His Name will never be reduced to rubble. A tower that’s stronger than any man-made fortress and large enough to see from a distance, even if we’ve lost our way.

By God's design, I believe our hearts and minds are shaped by Story. It's how we learn. It's how we make sense of the world. Characters, situations, moral consequences are all around us.

Fun is temporary at best; it's risky, even dangerous, at worst. Joy, on the other hand, was mystery I couldn't seem to decipher.

My heart's desire is to find more opportunities to give myself away and teach my children the joy of service at the same time.

It's not where we've been that matters to God. It's who we are becoming in Him.

If the Almighty directs our steps, we've no need to look back over our shoulders.
