<p>(This post is currently featured on the Revelation Wellness Blog today! Hop over and see what God is doing through the modality of fitness!) When I began running in my early 30s, I was driven by racing plans, a faster pace, and accruing as many miles as possible throughout my week. If I am being &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2021/10/27/running-with-jesus/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Does your soul ever feel unraveled? My soul came undone this week like a skien of yarn. One pick of thread led to a full blown come apart.  Maybe it is 50 days of  quarantine coming out from every angle. Maybe it&#8217;s hormones. We can blame everything on hormones. But most likely it is a &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2020/05/11/finding-my-way-at-forty-two/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. In these lay a multitude of invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed.  One man had been invalid for 38 years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2014/10/02/a-word-for-the-invalids/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Faith comes easy for me.  It really does. I am not a doubter.  I take God at His Word.  I BELIEVE HIM.  I BELIEVE HIS PROMISES. And I can have faith enough for you and me both if you call me with a prayer request.  Or if you are sick.  Or if your family is &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2014/02/21/a-text-for-the-waiting-room-overcoming-fear/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>I sat in church.  About ten rows back from stage left.  Bible bag at my feet.  A purple pen in my hand.  A journal in my lap. And God spoke. His voice &#8230; unrelated to what going on around me.  Not pertaining to my pastor&#8217;s message.  The Lord spoke an unmistakable, inaudible Word &#8211; His &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2013/08/26/five-letters-left-on-my-table/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span

<p>Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

<p>This morning, my eyes opened wide at 3am to an unfamiliar tapping.  Our window air unit, arguably on its last leg, was working hard to spit out an UNO card or a possibly granola wrapper. No telling what was in there with 3 little boys in the house.  But nevertheless, our tapping air unit broke &hellip; <span class="more-link"><a href="https://beckycrenshaw.com/2013/03/04/bondage-to-the-boogie-man/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span></a></span></p>

<p>Before too much time gets away from us&#8230;.I wanted to extend an invitation to all of you. I am reading through the Gospels this Fall.  I just began the other day.  I am only six chapters into Matthew.

<p>As a little girl, Easter was a little uncomfortable for me. First of all, the 1980&#8217;s was the Era of Awkward Easter Dresses. Stiff and frilly. We were made to wear over-sized hats (which no one really ever wears). Add to that a corsage. A large Easter Orchid.

<p>Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus&#8217; feet, giving him thanks. &#8211; Luke 17:15,16 Ten lepers healed. But only one turned back to say thank you to Jesus.

<p>There was a time in my life when I stood outside, looking in on the Christian way of life. I was an onlooker. Through the window I could see joy, deep joy, peace, freedom, authentic laughter and meaningful friendships. Christians were fascinating to watch. But I was just that&#8230;a watcher. An outsider.

<p>Friday night, the telephone rang and woke me from a sound sleep. 11:44p.m. My dad was driving to my house from Virginia. He should have arrived around midnight.
