The Faith It Took, by Lisa MacFarland
When you think about the disciples, I wonder how hard their decision to follow the Messiah really was; the Faith it took to drop everything and go.

When God gives us a Promise
One of my favorite stories is that of Elizabeth in Luke chapter 1. We probably all know her story, but there’s a curious detail within it that is currently hitting me, and it’s this: Her promise had a plot twist. It took the form of her baby having a surprise name.
