(what i learned) belief in God is not meant to keep us comfortable

As we embrace the warmth of these summer months, I decided to share with you what I learned this Spring. I adopted this idea to do some serious introspection and soul-inventory from my favorite author, Emily P. Freeman, and share my lessons in hopes you will join me too!
This one is an odd one as I’m getting extremely personal.
I’m not sharing a list of things I learned, rather a spiritual lesson I am currently processing.
Belief is fundamental to our Christian faith, but help me as I explore what it means to believe in the absence of evidence and spiritual comfort.
“Absence of Evidence IS NOT Evidence of Absence.”

debt-free

It’s been almost five years since I graduated college and I can finally say that I don’t owe Ms. Sallie Mae anymore money!! Having debt feels heavy, unnecessary, and it delays life…so why have it in the first place? I’m so thankful for God’s provision in our lives, but most importantly, His sacrifice on the cross was a full payment of our debt caused by sin. Paying off my school loan was somehow a great reminder of the greater debt our Savior took upon Himself to pay fully with His own life.
