journey onWord with us

So, here’s a question <insert smiley face emoji here> …. Why do I keep writing about the week that just passed?

Over ten years ago, after writing through each individual day of Holy Week for the very first time, I remember wondering what in the world would I have to write about if I was brave enough to do that again? In those early years, I was convinced the next year was going to be the one when I discovered I’d run out of anything newly notable or meaningful to say. How long can you talk about the same days in the same week before what you have to say about those days and the week sounds the same? I guess I’ll let you know when I find out.

To answer my original question, I write because He gave everything for me, and because I believe love for something and—most importantly—Someone, can be contagious.

I pray this year has been uniquely good for all who walked alongside in reading. But what I care most about, is that you love Jesus and have made the decision to believe in Him and what He did for you and how He loves and has forgiven you. If you haven’t yet, I pray you don’t wait another minute. If you have, I pray you’re following Him faithfully—albeit, imperfectly—and reading daily from the Love Story He’s written that was breathed through the hearts and hands of flawed followers, who were truly no different from you and me.

Thank you, dear brother and sister, for taking the time to walk alongside in the week that just passed. It has been a profound privilege to share this stretch of road with you.
