Unfolding Enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me.
Welcome
I’ve been on this journey most of my life, but the defining of it is relatively new. It all began with the choosing of a word. I asked God for a word for the year. One which would lead and guide me. A word…
About
I remember the first diary I received as a young girl. It had a lock with a tiny key and I spent time writing my thoughts and feeling. There was something magical about it. I kept that diary under my mattress, and that was…
Morning Star
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”–Revelation 22:16 This name for Jesus stumps me. I sit and wait and wonder. What does it mean? I turn…
Lord
It’s early. Like before the rooster crows early. I did’t plan it nor set an alarm because it’s Saturday, and this is the day I like to sleep a bit later. It seems the men around here have other plans. Before the clock numbers…
The Way
Almost every morning of quarantine I awake singing, “… Way Maker, Miracle Worker, Promise Keeper, Light in the Darkness. My God, that is who you are.” As we take baby steps to move out into the world again, it surprises me how quickly I…
Prince of Peace
Jesus, Prince of Peace. It’s hard to find peace these days. Most mornings I have to ask myself what day it is. I think about how to get the things I need and consider if I really NEED them or not. Some moments are…
Alpha and Omega
Less than two weeks to go. The end of Lent is in sight, and Easter waits just around the corner. Only today marks the beginning of a new month and thirty more days of this virus war. I wake up wishing this was some…
Man of Sorrows
Life looks different around here, and I wake up feeling out of sorts most mornings. Still, Lent marches on day by day, and so do I. Only I’m not going to work as usual, instead I rise early to teach my high school-aged son…
Glory of the Lord
This uncertain time ramps up my wrestling. I move from trusting God to anxious thoughts of what’s to come. I think about my oldest working in the medical field. The neighbor’s family in California. I wonder if the small business I co-own will survive….
The Vine
I have the wonderful privilege to lead a group of young adults in Sunday school. You might say I’m their teacher, but each week I learn more from them than they learn from me. We are a diverse little bunch with much to share…
Bread of Life
The free Israelite slaves were hungry. Really hungry. Like, let’s go back to slavery because at least we had food kind of hungry. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go…
Cornerstone
I notice the little word from yesterday in today’s scripture. Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.–Isaiah 28:16 Pay attention……
