November Newsletter – When You Feel Like You Have Nothing Left
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 (ESV) 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘦𝘧𝘵 When you feel like you have nothing left to offer, that’s...
September Newsletter – The One Who Kneels
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.” Psalm 1:1-3 (ESV) 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘒𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 Have you ever considered what the man in Psalm 1 is doing? Once you rule out...
Why I Won't Be Blogging for a Few Months
The Grace Space Why I Won't Be Blogging for a Few Months AUG. 28, 2025 / HANNAH GRACE I’ve decided it’s time to take a break from blogging for a little while. It’s not that I’m tired of writing. Far from it. The past several months have been wildly fruitful writing-wise, producing thousands of words’ worth of blog posts and newsletters, articles for blog swaps with fellow writers, and pieces to submit to print and online publications, plus a few other projects. And that’s just what has made...

The exact date is July 4, if you're wondering. And yes, I launched it on a...
May Newsletter – I Have Been (Peter)
Then the Lord turned and looked at Peter. So Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly. Luke 22:61-62 (CSB) When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” John 21:15 (ESV) 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘐 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘉𝘦𝘦𝘯 (𝘗𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳) I have...
March Newsletter – 19 Things I've Learned at (Nearly) 19
"Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.” Hosea 6:3 (ESV) 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 19 Things I've Learned at (Nearly) 19 Seasons often don’t last as long as you expect them to. It’s easy to enter a season expecting it to last for a certain amount of time, only to find that it ends much sooner than you thought. Don’t let it fly by without capturing the things God wants you to learn....
January Newsletter – Puppies, Porcupines, and Grace (+ an exciting announcement!)
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10 (ESV) 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 Puppies, Porcupines, and Grace What can puppies and porcupines teach us about grace? More than you might think. If you’re wondering what these earthy creatures could possibly have to do with such a heavenly concept, don’t worry. I’ll ask a few questions to help direct you. First, what do puppies and porcupines have in common?...

"For God does speak—now one way, now another—though man may not perceive it." Job 33:14 (NIV 1984) 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 What I Learned in a Waiting Room Sometimes the most meaningful moments in our lives unfold in ordinary spaces, settings so common we could be tempted to pass them by without a second thought. Not always, but sometimes. Still, we'll never know unless we are paying attention. A couple of months ago, I found myself in one of those places we're tempted to overlook: a waiting room....
The Grace Space | September Newsletter
"For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!" Job 19:25-27 (ESV) 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 (As you will soon find, this is not your typical "Dear Younger Me" letter. It's written to my current self from my future self.

"Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." Proverbs 19:21 (ESV) 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘞𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳 The life of a writer is not always easy. In fact, it hardly ever is. The life of a writer is the life of an artist. Yet the life of a writer is harder than that of a painter or a dancer. That is because writers not only face the void of nothingness and fill it with beauty, as all other artists do; writers fill the void with their own words,...
