I haven’t written in quite some time. I’ve had a lot of thoughts jumbled in my brain and needed to take a bit of a break to sort through it all. I’ve been writing still but not posting. Today I felt compelled to pour out what’s been on my heart this morning. I have moreContinue reading “What if?”

Your works or His?
I’ve been wrestling with this for a while and that is part of why I haven’t written in a while. While reading “Undomesticating God” by Jennifer O’Sullivan (www.HolyJustLove.com) I finally had a moment of clarity…. several actually. It’s the age old question of what’s my purpose? What’s the point in all of this? What isContinue reading “Your works or His?”
Be Still
I have been extremely lax in my meditation and prayer time. I always seemed to have something that took priority over my time with God. Shouldn’t that come first? Well yes, but… there’s this and there’s that and… You know the drill. I’m sure you do it too. I felt the distance continue to growContinue reading “Be Still”
You Are Enough
It’s been about 10 days since I last wrote. As I indicated on my last blog God told me it was going to be a rough week for Thanksgiving. It was rough but not how I anticipated. I came down with the flu and was down and out for 4 days. I haven’t had thatContinue reading “You Are Enough”
Holiday Planning
Welcome to a bright and sunny Saturday. I slept in a little and sat down with my coffee in my hand. I read for a bit. I’m in Exodus right now and I get lost in the details of the specifics of the tabernacle and the ark and all that. That’s a whole lot ofContinue reading “Holiday Planning”
If you aren’t grateful…
I took a pass on blogging yesterday because I was feeling tapped out. I struggled to find joy in the mundane. The well was dry. I struggled to find a way to fill my spirit back up. I was still reading. I was still writing but all of a sudden I was disconnected. Here’s howContinue reading “If you aren’t grateful…”
Then there’s silence
Today I get the sense I’m supposed to just sit and listen. No agenda. No questions. No wrestling. No message. I settle in and take a few deep breaths. I sink into the comfort of His arms. There’s no sound except my heart beat and my breathing. Me: Good morning, Lord. God: Thank you forContinue reading “Then there’s silence”
Love the Unlovable
I almost didn’t take the time to be with God this morning. It’s Sunday and we’ll head to church in a bit. I was about to give myself a pass but then I realized how much I would miss it so I sat down and read, prayed and wrote. God: Welcome, child. I wasn’t sureContinue reading “Love the Unlovable”
Back to Basics
Today is LINK food distribution day and I”m up super early for a Saturday. Today is the day I know I can make a difference for many. I can truly see that I am the hands and feet of God and see his people in action. It will be an exhausting yet exhilarating day. IContinue reading “Back to Basics”
Joy in the Journey
We’re now half way through November. Gosh that’s hard to believe. It’s a really chilly morning. Winter is definitely here. It’s dark in the morning and dark in the evenings. The lack of sunlight is already weighing on me. I really fought a tough mental battle this week. You saw the wrestling I was doingContinue reading “Joy in the Journey”
