Loved, saved, & sustained by Jesus! The Triune God is the lifter of my head. I love fun! Alumna ‘14 @westernseminary and student in MDiv ‘23.

If I could spend a day with an athlete from any sport, it'd be Eliud Kipchoge. His athletic prowess, love of running, and his humility, blow me away. It's also fun that he's Kenyan.

@pj_schreiner Gorgeous place! My undergrad was in Bellingham and one reason I picked WWU was the beauty of the place.

@whitneywoollard imagine commas/periods in that run-on sentence. haha.

[Cynthia Mathai @cnmathai]

@whitneywoollard Thank you for sharing both IDC and Village Church's positions. I found VC's articulation of how mixed groups are led to be immensely helpful as I don't think I often see that addressed and it's something I'm always curious to have articulated better.

@KyleJamesHoward I have been part of 2 in my life. My friends went there, they taught the Scriptures faithfully, multi-generational, and very strong small groups where I could faithfully live out in a small setting what I learned in the larger setting.

@Anna24601_ Yup. "Excellent student...talks too much in class." Looking back, someone should have told my teachers that the only way to change that was to grade me on silence. The enne 3 would have worked to excel at silence. Haha.

@TayTurkington @derekhiebert I had no idea Worldle was a thing. Now I am actually tempted to join this train.

There are times in life where all you can do is cling to the promises of God.

Even when your circumstance makes them hard to believe, keep repeating them in your soul until you see them with your eyes.

God promised never to forsake you.

I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. -Ps. 18:1-3

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

I can’t recommend Scripture memory enough. We’re going to meditate. Our minds naturally think habitually. We ruminate on ourselves, our offenses, fears, cravings, jealousies, resentments & how everybody’s let us down. But what if we formed a habit of thinking on the Lord’s words?

[Cynthia Mathai @cnmathai]

@pj_schreiner I'm assuming you've read TWOOS by Wilkerson? If so, how does Caste compare? I've been meaning to add it to my list. Anxious People was a wonderful book. It was my intro to Backman's writing, and I'm now on the third of his books.

@TayTurkington I would love to see the other kid’s face when she made that proclamation.

The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. -Ps. 9:9-10

[Cynthia Mathai @cnmathai]

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. -Ps. 8:1.

[Five Times August @FiveTimesAugust]

Spot on 😂

[Cynthia Mathai @cnmathai]

@esaumccaulley Amen!!!!

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Don’t stop trusting the Lord just because you couldn’t trust people. He is altogether different, altogether holy, gracious, compassionate, merciful & good. He keeps his word. Keeps you. Place your faith in Christ alone. He will get you through. Weep, yes, but knowing joy cometh.

[Patrick Schreiner ☧ @pj_schreiner]

Truly He taught us to love one another.

His law is love and His gospel is peace.

Chains He shall break for the slave is our brother.

And in His Name all oppression shall cease.

Winter solstice is a great reason to celebrate. Shortest day of the year means it only goes up from here. Today is also the 21-yr anniversary of my move to the USA. Is this where I leave my Venmo/CashApp handle, or nah? 🤷🏽‍♀️
