“For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” Psalms 91:3-4 Have you ever felt vulnerable? I am the type of person who hates to be seen as weak, struggling, or vulnerable. But at the end of the day, I am still human. Being a Christian doesn’t elevate me beyond my human flaws. I will still make mistakes, and I will always need a Savior. I will be faced with the many curveballs…

One of their key selling points was the stability and integrity of…
Growing up in Sweden, I loved receiving visitors in our home. I associated visitors with gifts—boxes of chocolates, beautiful cakes, and flowers—and as the recipient, it was always such a joy. My room would be converted to a guestroom as needed. Often, guests left gifts. I fondly remember running to my room after they left to find my surprise. I favored the guests by the gifts they left.
