Hollands: Miracle Incognito
http://lorenholland.blogspot.com/2012/07/miracle-incognito.html
Friday, July 13, 2012. God is full of surprises. The surprise is not always what I want. The longer I get to know Him the more I come to a place of respectful-scared-awe. I guess that is the meaning of the fear of the Lord. Not that I am anywhere close to being God-wise. But on a journey to climb the hard mountain of God-awe, inspired by grace, and putting one foot in front of the other with Christ's endurance-strength. 9 months ago when one week old Zane was in my arms, we learned some hard news.

Hollands: Carry me...
http://lorenholland.blogspot.com/2011/12/carry-me.html
Monday, December 19, 2011. My brother Mirike carried his bride Amber to his truck after they got married this last November. Looking back on that photo it made me think. a lot. Many times in our marriage we have to carry each other. God designed it that way. I am so thankful that my husband carries me to Immanuel, God with us. Through the unknown when we were raising support to come to Ecuador and had no home- He carried us. Through tragedy when we lost our first baby, he carried us. GOD is with YOU.
