Would you like to encounter Jesus daily?
Hello,
My name is Julie, and like you, there have been periods in my life where I’ve struggled to encounter Jesus. I have battled through upheavals in life where I struggled to find joy and contentment. Frustrated by the interruptions to my daily rhythms, I found it difficult to sense the presence of Jesus. But God used those challenges to help me learn how to experience His presence within the ups and downs of life. Now I look forward to my daily encounters with Him.
Friend, Jesus is with us every day. He is in the trenches with us, even if it doesn’t feel like it or we can’t sense Him. He is with us in the midst of life’s biggest challenges to its smallest of details.
My passion is to help you encounter the presence of Jesus, not just when life is hard, but in the ordinary moments of your day.

As we prepare for Christmas, our desire is to create a beautiful experience that wows the senses. We desire meaningful connections with family and friends. And most of all, we hope to keep Jesus at the center.

In each day's devotion, you'll receive practical tools to help you connect with Jesus, even when you're busy. In as little as 10 minutes a day, you will experience the joy and refreshment you desire at Christmas.

Dress fancy or casual? Large or intimate gatherings? It is also a day where we have an opportunity to express our gratefulness …
