Let me just get to the point. If we’re living on this planet — which we obviously are — then God desires for hope and joy to stir within us. Yet so often we live defeated and overwhelmed. I get it. Life can be hard.
But I can attest to the fact that God really can bring joy from ashes and give peace in the storms. He can tear down strongholds and give us strength to overcome. And He does it regardless of our circumstance. In whatever season we find ourselves — from the lowest valley to the highest mountaintop – God really can give us peace.
Who am I? I’m Lara. But before you get some distorted view in your sweet brain, know this. I fail daily. Hourly. I run after my selfish agenda and react to spilled milk. But God graciously picks me back up and sets my feet firm, while whispering promises of love and mercy.
God continually pursues us with His love. He’s so kind. And the truth of His character is meant to affect us on Monday and Tuesday and every other day. Let’s ask Him to help us think on true things.
Everyday Life
In everyday life, I’m married to my amazing husband, Cliff. Together we have 5 teenagers – think, “Brady Bunch” – which means there’s always something going on at our house. We love to laugh, travel, and find great burger joints.
