We celebrate the birth of the Messiah with such joy and extravagance. Yet that birth was the beginning of both a very long road of sacrifice and the hope that sacrifice provides us. This year I am struck by the severe humility that should accompany my celebration. For I am not worthy of such an extravagant gift.
What a tremendous demonstration of love; for God to walk the path of humanity with all its pain and trials, enduring social & familial rejection then, ultimately, heroically rescuing those very same people by substituting his life for ours.
Father, thank you. Your grace is more than I can fully understand; what's more is that it isn't just for me but for every soul. I pray that I may have the strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge...(Ephesians 3:18&19 ESV)

All the hectic times in her life, including seven major moves and five minor ones have served to reinforce her dependence on the only anchor she has found to hold her steady through the years; Jesus. Kathy writes of her personal journeys through the pages of scriptures, deserts of dryness, showers of blessings, the darkness of depression and the bright days of joy. She speaks of all she has learned about herself and her God in these journeys with the hope that her experiences will serve to encourage other women, who are fighting these same battles to stand strong.
