THE SPRING 2024 ISSUE IS HERE!💛
WWW.OURSTORYMAGAZINE.COM

Spring brings images of greenery, budding flowers, nourishing rains, awakening from a winter’s slumber, and newborn animals that embody a sense of hope. We see beauty and innocence, which help us embrace life’s new, gentle rhythms and let go of things past.

This spring, we invite you to release what holds you back. We encourage you to exhale as you surrender every burden to God and invite Him, as Master Gardener of your heart, to cultivate fertile ground for growth.

In this issue, 32 women from five countries share their experiences of releasing perfectionism, the inner critic, toxic relationships, and more. They honor motherhood, express the power of forgiveness, give biblical insights on peace and perseverance, and provide fun tips, recipes, and projects to help us embrace spring.

“I've been secretly waiting for this painting to release for months.”

Repost from one of our gifted artists and writers, Jodie Gerling (instagram.com/jgwritesandpaints).

// As an artist, I don't often paint with the perspective of light protruding into darkness. I'm more comfortable putting the shadows in and painting from the daytime perspective. But I challenged myself to reverse that and lean into painting the darkness and shadows.

I can't wait to try this again because it stretched me as an artist. My process is to gather images of what I'm picturing and layer those elements together. This piece turned out exactly like I'd hoped.

And I hope it reminds you of hope. Autumn and winter coming doesn't mean that life isn't still there. Yes, it's a reminder that we live in a world of darkness, that we long to seek the light and new life. And God always keeps His promises.

You can find my painting in the Autumn issue of Our Story Magazine, either by finding the Autumn magazine on Amazon or at their website for digital purchase and download. //

26/10/2023

“I walked away from the garden of Gethsemane with an overwhelming fear of trusting our Heavenly Father…”

Repost from one of our wonderful writers, Sally Cardenas.

// I didn’t know where to begin, but I knew Jesus was inviting me into a relationship far beyond location or religion. It was an invitation to surrender the scars I had carried in my heart since the age of 17 when I lost my mother in a tragic car accident on Easter Sunday.

My trust in Jesus was shattered that day, but He never gave up on having a relationship with me. No matter how far I traveled, no matter how far I distanced myself, no matter what I did to silence or numb the pain, the void was always there. It always resurfaced, triggered by memories I was never able to cancel until I discovered that Jesus, too, had suffered. But His suffering had served a far greater purpose. His death had meaning. It is at the heart of this verse.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

And so is love, yes, love. It was ultimately God’s unconditional love for each one of us that led His Son, Jesus Christ, to the cross. No matter how hard this is to believe or accept, I invite you to lean in, press on, and accept the invitation that can ultimately change the course of your life. It all begins with one single step to follow Him, allowing fear and hope to co-exist.

This is an excerpt from Our Story Magazine Autumn Issue “Lessons from an Olive Grove.”

Do you find yourself drifting into the depths of despair? Are you looking for an anchor for your soul, praying for a lifeline to sustain you?

This autumn, I would be delighted to share a digital edition of Our Story’s Autumn Issue, along with a Bible verse guide on Hope, a gift to you in October by clicking the link below. May both resources inspire you on your journey of faith.//

~ Treasure in Our Story ~

Repost from Instagram by one of our beautiful writers, Tabitha Meglich (Instagram.com/ajoyfulsparrow).

// I am a treasure seeker. 🍂

Admittedly, not of the variety that will ever add to my financial portfolio or bring me recognition or notoriety.

I am a curator of the quiet and unassuming treasures that drift on breezes, hide under logs, and disguise themselves as mere relics of seasons past. Rarely do I return home from a nature walk without another curiosity to add to my collection.

One of the gifts I have been given is a perpetual child-like fascination with the living world outside my door. Some of the most memorable sermons I have ever heard were whispered in the rustling of branches or delivered by a skittering creature foraging among the fauna.

All creation sings a single story—the story of a King who chose to create a magical world in which to place the gem called humanity. A gem that would become sullied by sin and require all the love and wealth of Heaven to redeem.

As we journey through this earthly realm, our stories ~ yours & mine ~ are woven into the grand tapestry of that eternal Redemption Story.

When we share our small pieces of His Story—through our words, creativity, humble service, or expressions of love—we bring Him glory.

🍂 Our Story Magazine recognizes the treasure in the unique voice each of us bring to the story. Each quarter Krista Hewlett and her lovely team curate threads from the Tapestry in the pages of this exquisite publication.

🍂 In the Autumn edition, I am blessed to share insights from a day spent in a dormant meadow in my article “Autumn’s Promise”.

A copy of this treasure trove is earmarked just for you on Amazon, or you can hike on over to ourstorymagazine.com where you will find both print and digital.

No foraging required.

Love ~ Tabitha 🍂🧡🍂 //
