Hi! I'm Kim McGovern
My passions of course! They include the Grace found through Jesus and the never-ending mystery of His love, family – you know who you are, special needs advocacy – specifically Autism Spectrum Disorder and Alzheimers, and whatever technology train I am currently riding.
What you'll find here
The Bible is not a book of behaviors to be emulated but a story of God’s love for the world through the person and work of Jesus; a love that transforms and a love nothing can interrupt.
It is often a struggle to research and review group and personal study resources. The sea of new and interesting content makes it overwhelming and time consuming.
The goal of this site is:
1. To sift through that sea of new resources looking for gems to collect, categorize, and share.
2. To create and publish studies, devotionals, and discussion guides that reorient the heart and mind to the uninterrupted love of God.
3. To specialize in providing a diverse (interdenominational) collection of resources that view scripture as the continuous story of the love of God for the world shown through the person and work of Jesus.

DANCING IN THE SHADOWS WITH THE FATHER OF LIGHTS:
Shadows danced across the parking lot as I sat in my car, processing the doctor’s words. White knuckled, I held the steering wheel, unable to move. I now had the answer to the question I had been relentless in asking at every doctor’s appointment – “When will this ever end?”.

No Tape Measure Needed
There is nothing quite like clothing to bring a grown woman to her knees. A simple closet-moving project had left me on the ground, clutching a cold metal tape measure to my chest.

Trusting God' Purpose When Disappointment Calls
I remember the moment vividly. While seated in the living room, my son had a rare moment of vulnerability as the afternoon sun painted long shadows on the floor. Tears welled in his eyes as he voiced the painful disappointment simmering beneath the surface for years.
“I never asked to be born.” The words stung deeply. My child, self-aware enough to feel his difference, grappled with the weight of his disabilities.
The frustration and sadness in his voice were palpable. As a mother, I felt helpless. I wanted to take away his pain, to assure him that his life had immense value, but at that moment, all I could do was sit with him and listen.
The Ripple Effect of Living Loved
So you want to impact the world for Jesus—but your life feels more like a train wreck than a billboard for God’s love. I used to feel this way, too, until one young girl changed everything.
Her name was Leilani, Hawaiian for a heavenly garland of flowers. I felt an immediate connection with her bright spirit. As a teen mom, she knew what it was to be wrecked by rejection and cast out by the callous. Yet she also understood the joy of being loved by Jesus without limit.
