Running, Running.

I've been running a lot lately. For the last 10 weeks, actually. It started with a local 10k, which led to another 10k, and a husband inspired to train for a marathon (thanks, Chip Gaines). So for the last 8 weeks especially, I've been intentionally training and putting in the miles. I don't know what … Continue reading Running, Running. →

Hi, I’m Hannah.

This is a place where I consider what it means to love Jesus, love people, and live simply.

I like to talk about ministry, my heart, fitness, food, and people.

Welcome to the journey!

winter haze. • "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." ~ Psalm 27:13-14

here's a photo of my face from one time when I was "studying".

2 Corinthians 3 - The Greater Glory of the NEW Covenant. • Moses spent 40 days and 40 nights on top of a mountain fasting from food and water while he spent time with God and wrote down the laws God had for the people. When he came back down the mountain he shone with such radiance and glory that the people were afraid of him; then when Moses went into the tent to be with God the people would worship from their doors, but they were afraid to get close. Because God is holy and righteous, and scary. • But that law was not God's forever plan! It was simply a tool to show people their need for God. The greater plan was a Savior, Jesus Christ, who would make a way for scared, sinful people to have that face to face relationship that Moses had. God wanted to know all of the people, but their hearts were hardened! He wants to have a relationship with US. The new covenant is the reality that we can be close to God, we can know Him, we can spend time in His glory and shine even more than Moses. Theres no need for an in between, the veil is taken away, and we get to KNOW GOD! • This is wild! This is wonderful! This is the Gospel. • • Also fam, get yourself a friend who reminds you to read your Bible plan, cause it'll change your life. 🙌😍

C O N F I D E N C E . • When we know who we are and WHOSE we are, we can truly know love. The love of Jesus gives us a safe place to be real and vulnerable, as we get to BE with God instead of wasting our efforts trying to please Him. This perfect love enables us to be vulnerable with other people, creating communities of genuine love and accountability as we press on towards the goal together. • Another awesome weekend at Delta Lake. This year I was reminded of how many times God met me here when I was a teen, and how beautiful it is that I get to still be a part of such a ministry. He is so good! #DLteenchill19 • Thanks @jaytrainer for the encouragement and awesome word!

Sometimes you have great photos and inspirational captions, and other times a bright pink bathroom at your favorite camp just does it for ya. #ifyouknowyouknow

Today is a beautiful and happy day.❄ "The LORD delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.. He sends His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes.. Praise the LORD." ~ Psalm 147:11, 15-16.
