I'll be in my Momma's arms soon


This is a candid photo of me and my Momma, taken on my departure to Africa, three months ago. Looking at it now, I realize just how far I've come and how much I have experienced while in South Africa. I praise God for all of the incredible learning lessons and growth opportunities I have been blessed with. I never would have imagined what God had in store for me. May you pause to reflect on the faithfulness of Christ in your life throughout the past year, knowing that as the end of the year draws near, He still has a future planned for you.
All My Love,
Gennavieve

Hampton Court Palace

Today, I toured Hampton Court Palace, an official historic, royal palace. Following are some of the sights I saw, history I learned, and favorites I enjoyed. The guard chamber of King William III. The magnificent display of 2,871 items of armor and weapons displayed a message that William was a great soldier and peacemaker. William's Presence chamber. Only high-ranking individuals were permitted into this room. William would be distinguished by sitting on a Chair of Estate. Those who entered his presence were required to remove their hats and make three low bows to the King, or even his empty chair. I'm grateful to serve an accessible King, who is with me wherever I go. William's eating room. He was expected to dine here on occasions "in front of persons of good fashion and good appearance," in order to display the sumptuousness of his food and to reassure everyone he was in good health. He was served by three servants on bended knee. William's P...

God's Love

As I explore the attributes of God, I picked up a work by A. W. Tozer titled, Knowledge of the Holy. In it, Tozer writes on God's many attributes saying, "He never suspends one attribute to exercise another" (p. 68). He explains, "From God's other known attributes we may learn much about His love. We can know, for instance, that because God is self-existent, His love had no beginning; because He is eternal, His love can have no end; because He is infinite, it has no limit; because He is holy, it is the quintessence of all spotless purity; because He is immense, His love is an incomprehensibly vast, bottomless, shoreless sea before which we kneel in joyful silence and from which the loftiest eloquence retreats confused and abashed" (p. 69) This description inspires a sense of awe in the power of my God and reminds me of the gift of being His child. "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And tha...

Let Us Love

Idelette McVicker, founder and editor of She Loves magazine wrote a poem titled, "Let Us Be Women Who Love." Below, please find the poem. I bolded my favorite stanzas. Upon contemplation, I believe this poem challenges, not only women, but both men and women to stand up and lead lives of genuine love. To allow the overwhelming love of Christ fill one's heart to the brim until it pours out onto others. I simply desire to share this manifesto and encourage you in love. Let us be women who Love. Let us be women willing to lay down our sword words, our sharp looks, our ignorant silence and towering stance and fill the earth now with extravagant Love. Let us be women who Love. Let us be women who make room. Let us be women who open our arms and invite others into an honest, spacious, glorious embrace. Let us be women who carry each other. Let us be women who give from what we have. Let us be women who leap to do the difficult things , the unexpected thin...
