More from Minnesota

I just finished a wonderful weekend over in Inver Grove Heights, MN! The services Sunday went well and I had the opportunity to participate in several different areas of ministry. I really enjoyed my time with the folks there!

Today I decided to visit the Mall of America and Ikea :) I had never been to the Mall of America before, and it is just amazing how big it is! So many stores! Believe it or not, though, I somehow managed to walk the mall without actually buying anything! And thankfully, I remembered where I parked my car :)

From the mall I hopped over to Ikea (which is right next door!) and walked around there for a little while. I picked up a few Swedish groceries and enjoyed some delicious lingonberry juice :) The lady at the checkout was even from Sweden!

Weather-wise, it's feeling more like winter around here - the temperature has been colder and we got several inches of snow last week! I'm just grateful that it hasn't caused any problems with traveling :)

Well, that's about it for now! I hope you all have a great week!

When the Rains Descend

When the Rains Descend
Go ahead and grab your umbrella, because in life, there will be times when you journey through the storms. You see, in this world in which we live, the rains will fall. That is a guarantee. Trials will come - and they are going to come to everyone. Just because you are a Christian, don't think for a moment that life is going to be easy. There will still be pain, sorrow, and heartache. The good news, however, is that, as a Christian, you do not have to weather these storms alone. You have a solid foundation in Christ.

When the Rains Descend is a collection of poems written to be an encouragement to you as you face the downpours of life. May you rest in the Lord and grow closer to Him day by day.
