I cannot wrap my brain around what it must have been like to walk with Jesus, to hear him speak – to be made whole in miraculous ways. To know the physical, tangible, realness of calling out, loud above the noise of the crowd in such a way that you could see the effects of that shouting, that calling out … Continue reading →
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!Behold, your King is coming to you;He is just and having salvation,Lowly and riding on a donkey,A colt, the foal of a donkey.” ~ Zechariah 9:9 I enjoy a good mystery novel. Thrillers? I’m not as well-read in that area. I read some in graduate school, but life is suspenseful … Continue reading →
One of January’s lessons – when God calls you to STOP, to Withdraw, to “Be Still” and sit in a Mary Season, it’s not The World’s Kind of Peace you’re going to sit in. I admit, I love an afternoon chasing the world’s peace – sitting on my porch, knitting a few rows, reading a few chapters, but that’s a … Continue reading →

Even 5 a.m. workouts to rebuild strength and learning to cook differently for healthier choices – and … Continue reading →

I feel God’s drawing me into a thinking and sorting time, a culling away of distractions to a new way of doing things. I can’t take a good photo of a cup of coffee – and I feel no peace to do so. The pages lay blank, but I hear God calling, “Remember me”! The cardinals, the snow, even Sadie … Continue reading →
“The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” ~ Deuteronomy 31:8 You know those times you plan things and all the while you’re planning it, you’re doubting your ability to follow through or misstep to failure, whether everyone will be blessed … Continue reading →
