Welcome to the Restored and Rooted blog. I’m Elizabeth. I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t reading and being shaped by the power of words. I’m also a lover of the Word, Jesus Christ, who shapes us by His power.

We have all seen or experienced the tension that comes in the face of peer pressure. If you haven’t personally known the pressure of the school playground crowd or the college party crowd or the workplace crowd, surely you’ve at least seen Ralphie get his tongue stuck to a frozen flagpole in A Christmas Story.

There isn’t a “best time” for everything. Sometimes there is just “now, do the thing.”

I have been a slave much of my life to waiting for optimum timing, or waiting to have more information, or waiting to be able to control things better.
