Emily got us started with the Month of Gratitude yesterday and I don't know about you, but she definitely made me think... where does my gratitude come from? What's the source of my gratitude? And I thought about my faith and my relationship with Jesus. I'm eternally grateful because I have been forgiven much. I really love the Message version of the sinful woman in Luke 7: "Two men were in ... Read the Post
A Month of Gratitude: Day 1
I am so excited to introduce my good friend Emily to you today! She is one of the most caring, thoughtful and above all else ENCOURAGING women I know... She loves the Lord with her whole heart and she's as honest as the day is long. I love that about her. If you ask her how she's doing, she'll really tell you and not just say "fine." We'll do a full introduction later this week, but for now you'll ... Read the Post
Our Heart at Graciously Authentic
This blog is starting out of a place of honesty — we don't want you to feel like you have to have it "figured out" or have it all together to join us. Yep, we are messy, broken people too and we want you to join us as we journey through life with you, just trying to figure out how to glorify God the best way we know how. No, we don't have all the answers. No, we're not perfect. In fact we are ... Read the Post
Starting a New Journey!
Oh dear friends, how I am so excited to be starting this new journey with you... I have no idea where this road will take us, but I very clearly hear the Lord calling me to start this blog at this time. It is a place for my reflections of Him, what I'm learning, funny stories, probably some tears (I'm quite emotional as you will find out), and lessons from my dear friends — I'll introduce them ...

![Well hello, new season! It's nice to see you...
This picture was taken a month ago when we went to the beach and I can't believe I have an 8 yo, a 6yo, and a 4yo!! What a sweet, sweet Summer we had and I soaked up every minute with my babies and my amazing hubby.
Both he and I have been working so, so hard our whole marriage to build businesses, raise babies, work through our own stuff and let's be real, it hasn't been easy.
And then, God is a God of SUDDENLIES.
I had some really big prayers - things that had been weighing on me and been super challenging for years - that I had gotten to a point where all I could do was worship. I didn't even have prayers or tears anymore because I'd prayed and cried them all out.
So I'd sing: "I've seen you move, you move the mountains and I believe I'll see you do it again. You made a way when there was NO way and I believe I'll see you do it again." On REPEAT.
Repeat. Over and over again. I'd worship as prayer.
And then just like that when I was hoping but pretty sure things were just going to stay the same, it ALL shifted. Literally ALL things.
There were huge, giant shifts personally, professionally, relationally, financially. Just like that. Like a flash of lightning. Mountains that felt immovable literally vanished and I stood in awe and I praise His name. 🙌🏼
One day I'll share all the really specific details but for now, I testify that God is absolutely moving for you, for your Family. He wants good, good things and don't stop believing.
Keep fighting even when things are hard, even when you don't see any progress, even when you don't understand or think there's a purpose. God is faithful. He will not disappoint.
“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
Romans 5:5 AMP
So if you need encouragement tonight: God still moves mountains. I'm praying that you see yours move soon. 🏔](https://kristenmccall.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
