noticing and responding to God in our everyday life
(I wrote the following in the summer of 2012. I am posting it again, well mainly because I need to re-read it and remind myself of these words. Appropriately it is 9:50pm. PS I believe I have gotten less wordy in the last 18 months!) Can you go to bed at 10pm? Out of context […]

“Yahweh your God is among you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will bring you quietness with His love. He will delight in you with shouts of joy.” Zephaniah 3:17 Last weekend’s verse and post was from from the coast of South Carolina. Ocean waves inviting me to the heavenly realms. […]

The sound of cranberries popping on the stove. Colorful, lively reminders of our day of thanks. “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Col 3:1-2 The verse floats around […]

“They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness!” Psalm 145:7 His goodness is abundant. Overflowing. Plentiful. Generous. His goodness is not in limited supply. I won’t find an asterisk, as I would in my sales bill, that says, “hurry, quantities limited”. We don’t have to rush, nor strive, nor fight to get […]

“You set all the boundaries of the earth. You made both summer and winter.” Psalm 74:17 It keeps falling. Each day a few more flakes. “It’s March!”, I call out. It keeps falling. He whispers. He reminds. “I’ve got it covered.” (I think he means more than just covering the ground with snow.) His word […]

I love winter. I love the beauty of snow falling and drinking hot chocolate. That is until March 1st comes. Then my love of seasons changing overtakes. I’m ready for peaks of spring, grass turning green and windy days. When March 18th comes and my son has a snow day, well I really start getting […]

She sits at the kitchen table peeling potatoes. From my little girl eyes, it looks like there are at least 500 of them. In the white farm house with green trim, her presence fills the rooms. She’s steadfast and hard working. The memory grounds me- a thread of love handed down. I fast forward through […]

“I am no longer my own, but thine. Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt. Put me to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be employed for thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee. Let me be full, let me be empty. […]

Early on, I stayed at the surface. Plenty of pretty things to see here. Snorkeling level of my faith. Content. Close enough to come up for breath and avoid danger. Years pass. The invitation keeps repeating. Dive deeper. Deeper still. There is beauty and marvels not many eyes have seen. Will I let go? Beyond […]

As we sang “Oh Holy Night” at church on Christmas Eve, the words jumped out in a new way. Again emphasizing the Life that Jesus birth brought. I wrote a few days ago that this season God has been drawing me to Christ’s humanness. To the fact that there were many years between Christmas and […]

“We have three people for a room at Allume and are looking for a 4th” That tweet appeared on my feed. Having just prayed about rooming for the conference, I replied. I had no idea how blessed I would be by these women. At different places and times, they were connected via college ministry. Their […]
