Amen and Amen! The bridge between our now and our one day! Agree w/ @Emily P Freeman - never stop ever.
“Advent is an upending. A reversal. A reckoning. A longing. A loneliness. It is the bridge between our now and our one day, where kingdom things constantly shift into focus if we are paying attention.”
I’ve been so looking forward to this and was thrilled that you also narrated it for us. Lately grappling with all the people suffering in this world. This helps give me space to hold all of that and still have a sliver of hope.
If I wasn’t already a paying subscriber I would pay immediately just to read these. You’re speaking our language. Never stop ever.
Love you forever.

My Christmas gift from me to you! 😄 Recorded in my closet. 😂
Luke 1:78-79: A message of hope and salvation
Shannan, thank you, for sharing from darkness and sleeplessness...a night watch that is "real." I look forward to more. Tender mercies to you.
And to you, Betty!
“galaxies of hope...we’re not alone...we hold on...everything can be made new.”
Amen. May it be so.
This was just a deep cleansing, calming breath! TY for being up in the night writing!!
Oh Shannan! This was so beautiful to read in my quiet house this morning (everyone else sleeps). I am subscribing to The Soup again!
I'm so glad, Heather! I hope you enjoy the next 9 of them. :)
You write so raw and beautifully. Thank you.
I'm glad it you're here!
I have such a long and tortured relationship with night. This was beautiful and helpful to me. Trying to believe in the galaxies of hope.
Trying with and for you. ✨✨✨
Thank you for sharing your heart and giving me thoughts to ponder that will draw me closer into His goodness and grace.
Amazing.
This is just some gorgeous writing. I’ll be returning to this several times in the coming days.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and there are 9 more days to follow!
Simply beautiful and relevant. Thank you Shannan. “My beaten down heart” needed this.
Solidarity, friend.
Your writing is so beautiful it moved me to tears.
We are a congregation of criers here, Carol. You belong here. xo
Found myself in tears all the way through this one, and even now as I type. Thank you for your words, and your heart.
May they be cleansing tears. xo
