New Relationship Series

Relationships can be beautiful, yet complicated.  At their best, relationships can help us to become more Christ-like, and essentially more of who we were created to become.  At their worst, we can find ourselves holding bitterness, and judgment – all the results of living in a broken world.  The gospel of shalom teaches us to reweave relationships through the ministry of reconciliation.  Building bridges, as we know, is a process.  A process that begins within – then flows out into the world.

Five Flights of Stairs

By: Nina Sears

Every time I come home, they await me.

When I’m carrying 30 lb grocery bags…

When my feet are barking…

When my laundry is nicely folded and ready to be taken up…

When my body screams for a bed…

Yet, I couldn’t be happier.

A year ago today I was sleeping on a friend’s couch bed.

No (full-time) job.

Unsure of the future.

Contemplating moving back to MD.

Wondering if I made the right decision.

That time seems so far away now, but I won’t forget. I can’t forget…

how God made space for me in this city.

Opened doors. Brought family into my life.

Perfectly timed my move to my current abode.

It’s more than I could have imagined for myself at this stage of my life.

How great is our God.
