I still remember the cold, wet feeling of condensation on my small hands as they pressed against the large, plate-glass window of our living room. My 8-yr-old brow furrowed as I watched tiny snowflakes make their way to the ground.... Continue reading →

Journeying Well In Humble Heart…

by rachelrains // December 18, 2018 // No Comments
Much has been said in recent weeks about the importance of kindness, gentleness, and humility. Often, in our society, these attributes are sorely overlooked and characteristics such as personality, charisma, and eloquence are elevated. I love the way James Baker... Continue reading →

Imagine… What If We Just Loved

by rachelrains // November 1, 2018 // No Comments

When Cancer is a Gift…

by rachelrains // October 9, 2018 // 2 Comments
“And there’s this other, funny thing… I love, more!  L O V E . That’s all I feel.” These are the words of a dying man. “Nothing but love.” he says. These words have haunted me since I first read them two Autumn’s... Continue reading →

A Lens Of Understanding…

by rachelrains // August 7, 2018 // No Comments
As I scrolled through my Facebook feed, it happened again. Twice (to be exact.) Regarding two (completely unrelated) current events. “If you don’t agree with me on XYZ, unfriend me now!?” ************************** Have you ever found yourself sitting in the Facebook seat... Continue reading →

the making of KINDNESS…

by rachelrains // July 30, 2018 // No Comments

The Love Challenge… Going Deeper, Still.

by rachelrains // July 13, 2018 // 1 Comment
As I stood there feeling humiliated, the sting was somewhat lessened. Because I knew God was teaching me the very thing I had been praying for… ************************* Lately, I’ve been trying something new… Whenever I feel offended, disappointed, rejected, hurt,... Continue reading →

Outrage Versus a Call to Prayer…

by rachelrains // February 16, 2018 // No Comments
Should Christians be outraged by the recent comments of Joy Behar? I’m more deeply saddened, than offended.  And let me share why… the comparison of “hearing Jesus” to mental illness (even if intended as a joke) reveals a growing, secular... Continue reading →

Learning Grace in the Advent…

by rachelrains // December 7, 2017 // No Comments
