Welcome!!!

"Unfading Beauty" blog has had a face lift!  All the posts from the old blog are still here; feel free to navigate them with the labels to the right. This updated blog has turned "Unfading Beauty" from my blog into OUR blog--"The Greatest of These." As Silas and I enter a new phase of life involving parenthood, inner-city ministry, foster care, stay-at-home-mom-hood, and whatever else the Lord may bring our way, our prayer is that this blog may be an uplifting place of transparency, truth, and God's glory. Silas has a special calling to preach God's Word, so he will be able to use the blog to share what God has laid on his heart. We chose the name The Greatest of These for two reasons:1 Corinthians 13:13: " Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love." We are overwhelmed by God's love for His people and pray that love may spill into our marriage, our children, and all who we come in contact with. The other reason is Matthew 25:40: “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!'" God has set our hearts ablaze with passion for those who are in need...those who the world sees as the least of these, but who are the greatest in the Kingdom of God. May God be glorified.
