Our God is most Great. How Great, how Great is our God, how Great is our God.

Happy Valentine's Day to the Couples and the Singles 🙏 Romantic love is an image of God, and sacrificial love between spouses manifests God's likeness ☦️

Late-night texting with a childhood friend can feel like a long, engaged conversation after parking the car. I never want those conversations to end. Reminds me of Heaven.

COMING SOON TO AN ORTHODOX CHURCH NEAR YOU

Sunday of the Cross. We are halfway to Pascha. Tears begin to form.

Hold the line my friends....

Another Zebra sighting!

Great day for my mental health. Set a goal to return to celebrating my name’s day at church. Made incredible meals for the family. Relaxed with other families. Loved my family and felt loved. Praise God!

It’s a great time to make sure to go to church and pray tomorrow…for those who hate us and those who love us, and those who have asked us to pray for them, unworthy though we may be. 🙏🏾☦️🇺🇲
