How did God show up in your life in the last 12 months?

Recently, he has used the birth of our 3rd son to remind me of my neediness for Him. Through the challenges of the newborn season, I've been hitting my knees so much more and asking the Lord to move in all kinds of ways, and He has proven time and again to be a healer, and a provider, and sustainer. It's been correlating to other areas of my life and it's been so sweet to run to experience the presence of the Lord everyday and ask Him to move in every area of my life and in the lives of others.

How do you live differently knowing God is alive & active in your life?

There's a sense of inner peace, I know God knows me perfectly and knows every situation better than I do, it gives me great confidence to run to Him in prayer and to have peace that He is always working even if I can't see it in the moment.

How did you share the love of Jesus this year with someone who doesn't know Christ?

I've been having spiritual conversations with my barber every time I go in, and inviting him to church, and praying for him regularly.
