In Season and Out: Guided by the Spirit

On October 20, 2022 by Anna De Lay

…preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching… 2 Timothy 4: 2 I’ve often struggled with the concept of being ready at all times to do the work of ministry. I tend to look for inspiration, a muse, an idea to get me

Overcoming Self- Doubt with the Voice of Truth

On June 4, 2021 by Anna De Lay

“I don’t feel like I have anything to offer.” My own words struck me as if somebody else said them. Tears began forming in my eyes, as I found a part of me that had long been hiding… A few years ago, I stepped out of my comfort zone and signed up for a worship

Give the light

On January 24, 2021 by Anna De Lay

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works

On January 21, 2021 by Anna De Lay

Gideon was hiding when the Angel of the Lord came to him and proclaimed, “Mighty man of valor! The Lord is with you!” The enemy was raging around the people of God, invading their camp, destroying their very livelihoods to the point that the Israelites retreated into caves.

Six people, a dog, and a tiny camper, oh my!

On September 21, 2019 by Anna De Lay

Over the last 3 summers, our family has lived in a small 28 foot camp trailer. When we bought it, it seemed perfectly fit for our family of five, who were setting out to see if moving back to Montana (the birthplace of two of our children then) was the right thing to do. We
