3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NLT
When I think back to this time last year, I am amazed. I was in a season of hurt, broken relationships, and moving foward. I was still in school, and wondering where my life was going to go. But now, just 1 year later, life is new, fresh, and filled with the perfume of excitment. I know my previous trials helped strengthen me, and now I can pour into some of my friends who are hurting now. Life happens best in community. I have been blessed beyond measure, and I hope I can do the same to others.

This started as a way for Stacy and I to focus our attentions on Things From Above instead of the distractions, heart aches, disappointments, and false truths the world throws our way. I hope that through our sharings, all who read will be able to come closer to understanding the fullness of God's amazing love. ~Tamara
