Live and love well out of the love we receive from Christ.
In case you don’t know about it, I want to invite you to check out my “micro-blog” posts on Instagram and Facebook. These posts are snapshots of living a life of love in everyday, authentic life! With these photos, I share encouragement to live and love well as we grow our relationship with God – and out of that we live the full live and love people.
When you think back on this past year, what comes to mind?

I have been thinking about patience and perseverance, with the fall crops being harvested and as verse from James 5 keeps coming to mind.
In my life, there are things I am praying and waiting for over time and the answers don’t seem to come quickly. Are you experiencing this in your life in some way, too?
