Heirs of God
Romans 8:15-17 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow…

A Reflection of Motherhood
I am going to pause the Bible studies this week in reflection of Mother’s Day. The next couple of passages in the Bible study, Paul will be talk about being adopted by Christ and heirs along with Christ for those in the Spirit. In light of this I think it is important to reflect on…

Sons and Daughters of God
Romans 8:12-14 12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Bryce Canyon National Park
On our way to our Airbnb in Manti, we decided we couldn’t pass up Bryce Canyon and the internationally renowned views. I had done some research and made tentative plans to visit, but we were not sure if the timing would work out. We were so glad it did! Despite my ankle injury in The…

The Greater Law
Romans 8:2-4 “For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned…

Zion Canyon National Park
The next stop on our Utah adventure was Zion. This was the place I had been begging Thomas to visit for ages. After a whole debacle at our planned Airbnb I would rather not get into, we ended up staying at the Majestic View Lodge, the last stop on the Springdale Shuttle line which would…
