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”
You’re Too Comfortable
I’m still traveling and headed home this morning. I’m looking forward to being home. I feel like I’m centered and focused this morning but it quickly turned into another wrestling match as I settle in to spend time with God this morning. The conversation went something like this: Me: Good morning, Lord. Thank you forContinue reading “You’re Too Comfortable”
A Trip Down Memory Lane
I’m still traveling this week. This morning I chose to get up and make sure I was ready before I sat down for my reading and time with God this morning. I read a couple chapters in Matthew and I just right into my chat with God. Me: Good morning, Lord. Thank you for allContinue reading “A Trip Down Memory Lane”
