September Newsletter β The One Who Kneels
βBlessed 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.β Psalm 1:1-3 (ESV) π΄π¦ππ¦π€π΅π¦π₯ πΈπ³πͺπ΅πͺπ―π¨ ππ©π¦ ππ―π¦ ππ©π° ππ―π¦π¦ππ΄ 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 Iβve decided itβs time to take a break from blogging for a little while. Itβs not that Iβm tired of writing. Far from it. The past several months have been wildly fruitful writing-wise, producing thousands of wordsβ 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 thatβs just what has made...
July Newsletter β π Celebrating One Year of The Grace Space π
"To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 (ESV) π΄π¦ππ¦π€π΅π¦π₯ πΈπ³πͺπ΅πͺπ―π¨ Yes, that's rightβit's been a year since I started The Grace Space! The exact date is July 4, if you're wondering. And yes, I launched it on a...
May Newsletter β 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, βBefore the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.β And he went outside and wept bitterly. Luke 22:61-62 (CSB) When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, βSimon, son of John, do you love me more than these?β He said to him, βYes, Lord; you know that I love you.β He said to him, βFeed my lambs.β John 21:15 (ESV) π΄π¦ππ¦π€π΅π¦π₯ πΈπ³πͺπ΅πͺπ―π¨ π ππ’π·π¦ ππ¦π¦π― (ππ¦π΅π¦π³) I have...
March Newsletter β 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.β βHosea 6:3 (ESV) π΄π¦ππ¦π€π΅π¦π₯ πΈπ³πͺπ΅πͺπ―π¨ 19 Things I've Learned at (Nearly) 19 Seasons often donβt last as long as you expect them to. Itβs 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. Donβt let it fly by without capturing the things God wants you to learn....
January Newsletter β 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." βEphesians 2:10 (ESV) π΄π¦ππ¦π€π΅π¦π₯ πΈπ³πͺπ΅πͺπ―π¨ Puppies, Porcupines, and Grace What can puppies and porcupines teach us about grace? More than you might think. If youβre wondering what these earthy creatures could possibly have to do with such a heavenly concept, donβt worry. Iβll ask a few questions to help direct you. First, what do puppies and porcupines have in common?...
The Grace Space | November Newsletter
"For God does speakβnow one way, now anotherβthough man may not perceive it." βJob 33:14 (NIV 1984) π΄π¦ππ¦π€π΅π¦π₯ πΈπ³πͺπ΅πͺπ―π¨ 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) π΄π¦ππ¦π€π΅π¦π₯ πΈπ³πͺπ΅πͺπ―π¨ (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. That creative twist on a common concept is not original to me; I wrote this...
The Grace Space | July Newsletter
"Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." βProverbs 19:21 (ESV) π΄π¦ππ¦π€π΅π¦π₯ πΈπ³πͺπ΅πͺπ―π¨ ππ©π¦ ππͺπ§π¦ π°π§ π’ ππ³πͺπ΅π¦π³ 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,...
