Be Ready: Prepared for the Moment You Didn’t Plan For
Written by Rebecca Johnson Today at church, I was asked to speak about my experience with Alpha—and I didn’t see it coming. That morning, I felt God gently nudge me to wear a specific outfit.

You Had Access All Along
Written by Rebecca Johnson ‘Yet you do not have because you do not ask.’ -James 4:2 A while ago, I bought a new TV and set it up in my living room. I moved my old TV into my bedroom.

The Race Is Not to the Swift
Written By Rebecca Johnson We all know the story of The Tortoise and The Hare: The Hare, fast and confident, rushes ahead and burns out. The Tortoise, slow and steady, keeps moving forward and wins the race. Ecclesiastes 9:11 reminds us, “The race is not to the swift.” Life isn’t about how quickly we canContinue reading “The Race Is Not to the Swift”
Sunshine Through My Window: A Reflection on God’s Love
Written by Rebecca Johnson As I sat, thinking about what to write, the words of a childhood favorite song came rushing back: “Sunshine through my window, that’s what you are, my shining star.” Back then, I loved the melody but didn’t fully understand the lyrics. Now, as I reflect on my relationship with God, theseContinue reading “Sunshine Through My Window: A Reflection on God’s Love”
