Tifani.


Last night, during a crazy rain storm with a glorious rainbow in the background, our little group gathered together down at Pushaw Lake, and together we witnessed sweet Tifani make a public profession in front of friends and family that she has finally and fully decided to "go all in" for Jesus.

Our little family and so many others have prayed for this girl for months....
We've walked with her, lived life with her, loved on her, answered questions, asked more of our own, and tried to show her a Jesus who is trustworthy.  The perfect Father.  And a God who is good - always good - no matter what. 

A Savior who knows her intimately, who loves her deeply, and who will never let her go....
She has scars.
She has baggage.
She carries a heavy load from a heavy past....

....And she has laid them down...and passed them on to the Ultimate Burden Bearer.

Because His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.

Jesus...

The binder of the brokenhearted.
Our freedom from captivity.
Our release from darkness.
The One who comforts those who mourn.
And who brings beauty out of the ashes.
And Tifani....

"All in."


Still with struggles.
Still with questions.
Just like all the rest of us.....

And so we journey on together...

With Heaven a little more full.
Our community a little more tight.
Our stories ever mingling...brothers and sisters, learning, living, and growing...
