Do you know Love's way? The heart of truth? The promise of eternity, yet so much more? Before even. On this earth right now, even! See, I walked around a long time before I'd heard. Alone and groping. Never really hoping. Though sometimes laughing and always pretending while searching. Searching, for. the. love! Coming up… Continue reading Love’s Way (One Day)

When Life Seems to Overtake (and overwhelm and bowl you over and take you under) Your Faith
Hope in The Messy Middle How do we keep hoping when the hard and messy of life seems like it's gonna stick around forever and we're left struggling to believe, or even breathe? How do we keep a faith that knows God's gonna come through for us when He's sovereign over all, after all. For… Continue reading When Life Seems to Overtake (and overwhelm and bowl you over and take you under) Your Faith
The God We Go To
God cannot be placed merely on the periphery. He wants to be smack dab in the midst of you and me. Neither is God a last resort. He is the first we seek in order to know, to understand, to guide, and to order aright. He stands alone in knowledge and power, unlimited resources and… Continue reading The God We Go To
For Such a Time as This
What to say? What to do? For someone who likes to write her feelings, nothing sounds eloquent enough and words seem pretty much worthless right about now. My prideful side, though, shouts loud at me to scream out loud to you, “Look to Jesus. See Jesus. Hear and put your faith in Jesus. Please. Now!”… Continue reading For Such a Time as This
Floats and Ducks and The Deep
Floats and Ducks Floats float. (Surprising, I know.) They sit safely upon the surface of the deep water and hold up whatever sits upon them. That's their job. And they do it well, unless they're losing air—then, whatever they're holding up sinks. (Again... Surprise!) So, for years I was obsessed with thinking a life of… Continue reading Floats and Ducks and The Deep
Turn and Be Healed, in the Pilgrimage (Part Two)
So, picking up from where we left off in that first post... with how calloused hearts can sometimes tell us there is something more we need to offer God in order to earn, keep, or repay His Love... and how I'm not so sure that work is a requirement for faith... and how you may or may… Continue reading Turn and Be Healed, in the Pilgrimage (Part Two)
Life in the Messy Middle
How do we hold onto hope in the messy middle of our story? How do we look at what’s not, and believe it will become what’s best? How do we look at what doesn’t exist and have faith it one day will? How do we hope against hope for the promise of good in the… Continue reading Life in the Messy Middle
Scattered Prayer on a Worn Out Path…
Oh Father, I believe, but help my unbelief... How do I hope against all hope? Wait for the healing that hasn’t come yet? Long for the repair of what is broken while still staring at the pieces of what's left? What happens during the now and what’s next... When the faith I depend on can’t… Continue reading Scattered Prayer on a Worn Out Path…
She Soars
Dedicated to my neice, H: On wings of the eagle she is lifted high Over seas, tribes, and tongues, Though we share a blue sky. Her heart has no limit; Nor her home, any border. She sees beyond this life She soars up and over. And though he is within her, With help for the… Continue reading She Soars
