I Inspire My Husband!

The title for my blog, Beautiful Descent, came out of a conversation I had with my hubby. I was telling him how I felt moved by The Water Song in Hannah Hurnard's book Hind's Feet on High Places. There, the water came from the high places that the main character is trying desperately to reach, but it sings happily about going to the lowlands to serve, and to bring life. This resonated with me because of the brokenness I live with. Despite its many forms, I can better empathize with those who also find themselves in very difficult places, and I see this as an opportunity to bring the life of Jesus within me into the broken worlds of other people.

I was trying to compress all this into a blog title and theme, and Matthew came up with "Beautiful Descent." Recently, this all inspired him to write an article reflecting on the Christian life embodies a very similar principle, whether we suffer from some form of acute brokenness or not.
