Shown Mercy

"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have been saved - and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:4-9

Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking (A Book Review)

February 27, 2019

Hello, it's me again... I thought I would reenter the bloggersphere briefly to share a recent book review I was asked to write on the subject of human trafficking.

I love this picture... It was taken during our six week adoption stretch in Ukraine. This little one was 7 years old in the picture. Can you believe that we will celebrate four years home this May?!. Most days I feel like she and all her siblings have always been with us. Other days I wonder, "where did you come from?!." Ha ha ha... We have our ups and downs... We take one step forward and two steps back... 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus Just to take Him at His Word Just to rest upon His promise And to know, "Thus saith the Lord!" Jesus, Jesus how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er; Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! Oh for grace to trust Him more!

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus, Just from sin and self to cease; Just from Jesus simply taking ...
