Random…

It’s so weird to be able run around without even a coat in early November, but I’m enjoying it immensely. I don’t think it will last very long, but I’m loving it while it does!
I took my traditional Sunday afternoon walk today, and I got to wear flip-flops! I had packed them away for next summer a month or [...]

Fall…and other musings…

 I love this time of year! Spring is nice, and I love it, too, but Fall has a beauty all its own. It’s a very calming beauty, for me. The sun reflecting off all the golden hues on the leaves and plants gives a “warm-ness” to the air that you can almost feel! I love it!
I [...]

Musings from Psalm 119

 
 I run in the path of Your commands,
for You have set my heart free.
For the past few weeks, I have been reading a Psalm, or a section of a Psalm right before I got to bed. Just for fun, I started at the end of Psalms, instead of the beginning. :) I am in Psalm [...]

Bound for Iowa

Even though it feels like we just got home, early Thursday morning, my sister and I will be leaving again on the 30th - this time for Iowa. From there we’ll be heading out to Virginia with a group of young ladies to put on some Bright lights conferences (www.radiantpurity.com).
I’m excited about going and seeing the [...]

What a glorious day!

What a glorious day it is today! It seems like the sun is God smiling down on the world, and His very breath is warming up the air for spring.
I can almost hear Him saying to me:

Because of the [My] great love [you] are not consumed,
       for [My] compassions never fail.

 They are new every [...]

A beautiful thought

A candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away.

modified from a quote by Eva Logue

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the Lord has called me to complete abandonment to Him and to other people. I must truly “give myself away” to others. I must invest in those dear [...]

Life–the kind that lasts

At church yesterday, a man recited John 3:16 in Palaka, and language used in a certain portion of West Africa. The literal, word-for-word English translation of the Palaka translation went like this:
“World, it came, and God really pleased. For this reason, He has one Son sent, so that the one who believed on him, he would [...]

His way is right

 
 
 
 

 
As I open up arms of trust and surrender,
there is peace,
there is joy, and
there is freedom.

 
Father,
 Thy way was right.
Thy way is right.
Thy way will always be right.

…recent ponderings…

Do I trust God? Do I really, truly trust Him? Enough to let Him have control? To not provide my own solutions to my questions, but to let Him provide His?
Am I willing to surrender my life to Him daily, in the little, everyday things?
Do I really trust Him?

Still there’s hope

These words spoke to my heart tonight as I listened to this song by Leslie Ludy.

Listen

The guilt and the shame is keeping you chained
Not wanting to let you go.
It’s not how you dreamed, it’s not how you planned,
And you can’t see that still there’s hope!

Recieve His healing for your bruises.
Recieve His riches for your rags.

You [...]

A thought…

When your weary heart is tired,
If the world would leave you uninspired;
When the storms of life are strong,
When you’re wounded, when you don’t belong…

-”The Blessing”

Cry to Jesus!

 
“O God, You are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for You…”

Psalm 61:1

True Worship

The Lord desires us to worship Him in our hearts.He does not want merely an outward action,
but rather a true, INWARD REALITY.

“The true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth,
for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
-John 4: 23-24
