Longing for Home – by Mallory Dagher

January 18, 2022|In Christian Living|By Guest AuthorOh sweet friend, my heart is terribly longing for home. Living so far away from home is sometimes more than this heart of mine can handle. When life gets difficult, and hard decisions have to be made, or unwanted correction takes place, all I want to do is to be nestled away in my comfortable home surrounded by the ones who I know will never leave my side. I remember my first time being sick at college in Indiana. Oh, how I longed for my home!…

From Loneliness to Vulnerability – by Rhianne O’Rourke

Cold cups of tea I grew up in a big family. I’m the oldest of 4 and we constantly had lodgers and students and foreign exchange kids come through our doors. I was most definitely used to noise. I moved to a new city after getting married and was not prepared for how quiet my life suddenly felt. I got married before I started university, so right off the bat I was that weird student who married young. We were the youngest in our church by a long way, and it wasn’t until 6 months after we were…

Hope Dealer of the Month – Megan Hansel

Hi sweet sisters! My name is Megan Hansel, and we are about to get real, VERY FAST!I am a picture of God’s grace as a wife and momma. Fun fact, I grew up never wanting to be a wife or a mom.

Three summers, I worked at a camp for special needs kids and adults. It changed everything about me. I learned unconditional love…
