A beautiful thing happened this month!

Hello friends! It’s been awhile since I have posted on Arise Blog because this month’s time has called me to more listening. It’s definitely been a reflective entry into a new year. It hit me a few morning’s ago that a new posting for the year’s start would be to share some of the readings I have been listening with instead of coming up with another devotional or resting portion.

May these resources bring inspiration to your 2024 beginning or in the months to come!
