& seeking to walk in His ways ~ Joshua 22:5

Month: June 2017

Forgiveness, Unity and Revival

Posted on June 30, 2017July 5, 2017 by Karen Harmening

Some of the greatest enemies of revival and a fruitful Christian life are pride and unforgiveness, both of which frequently result in division. They seem to be favorite tools of the enemy to thwart the people of God from living lives fully surrendered to Him, passionately pursuing Him and effectively serving Him. Our family has … Continue reading Forgiveness, Unity and Revival →

Layers of Grief and Love

Posted on June 29, 2017July 5, 2017 by Karen Harmening

Our pastor came over to visit yesterday and asked a question I failed to answer completely.  He asked what we have learned about grief that we thought might be helpful to others.  Scott quickly answered well for both of us as he described the waves of grief that repeatedly roll in, and made reference to … Continue reading Layers of Grief and Love →

The Hezekiah Years

Posted on June 27, 2017July 5, 2017 by Karen Harmening

The night of the accident the Lord clearly spoke to my heart, He reminded me of something long forgotten to make me appreciate an outpouring of grace that might have otherwise gone unnoticed.  That night He impressed upon my heart that He had extended the days of Sarah just as He had the days of … Continue reading The Hezekiah Years →

Waves of Agony and Grace

Posted on June 25, 2017July 5, 2017 by Karen Harmening

Waves of agony have become our new reality over the past seventeen days. The waves vary in size, intensity and duration, but they continually come.  Thankfully from the very beginning, intermingled within the waves of agony have been waves of grace.  Grace to enable us to breathe when we were certain we could not.  Grace … Continue reading Waves of Agony and Grace →

“Your Family’s Sacrifice”

Posted on June 24, 2017July 1, 2017 by Karen Harmening

One thing we've consistently been told and believed since the very early moments into our journey of grieving the physical death of Sarah is, "there is nothing anyone can say to help." Most of the people who told us this were those who had preceded us in this journey of grieving the departure of a … Continue reading “Your Family’s Sacrifice” →

What if?

Posted on June 23, 2017July 5, 2017 by Karen Harmening

With a great deal of trepidation I am going to allow access to the darkest crevice of my mind.  It's an area I have vigilantly tried to avoid since June 8th, 2017, to no avail.  What if?  What if we had not allowed Sarah to sign up for the mission trip to Botswana?  What if … Continue reading What if? →

#servelikesarah

Posted on June 22, 2017July 14, 2017 by Karen Harmening

Two weeks ago today God called a precious seventeen year old little girl to challenge the world.  Within hours of Sarah's physical death someone had succinctly titled the challenge #servelikesarah. Early Friday morning our family was blessed to see #servelikesarah popping up in posts by many of our sweet MZBC students on social media.  It … Continue reading #servelikesarah →

Sorrows Like Sea Billows

Posted on June 19, 2017June 20, 2017 by Karen Harmening

Horatio Spafford and his wife Anna have been on my mind today. The inspiration of his penning of the song "It Is Well With My Soul," is heartbreakingly unfathomable.  First the death of their son, then financial disaster, then the deaths of their four daughters in a ship wreck.  He is said to have penned … Continue reading Sorrows Like Sea Billows →

Suffering, Anguish and Redemption

Posted on June 18, 2017February 19, 2019 by Karen Harmening

At 2:48 PM on June 8th, 2017, a twenty-two second phone call revealed that our lives as a family had been forever altered.  Scott, who was driving behind the bus that crashed with our precious Sarah and 38 other members of our church on board, called and said, "Karen, there's been a horrible wreck, the … Continue reading Suffering, Anguish and Redemption →

Be the Father…

Posted on June 17, 2017July 5, 2017 by Karen Harmening

The goal of every Christian father should be to reflect the nature and love of our heavenly Father to his children and train them up in righteousness, he should desire to "be the Father" to his children. This Father's Day the father in our home is grieving the departure of a precious child he spent … Continue reading Be the Father… →
