4.4.2020 – Tender Hearts

April 4, 2020

This morning the Lord brought to mind a memory from last February, and so I went and found my journal from around that time to see what I had recorded. It was around the time I had fallen. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t sit for a little while, and a prayer group had prayed for me.… Read More 4.4.2020 – Tender Hearts

4.3.2020 – A Deeper Understanding

April 3, 2020

Looking back over 2019, I can honestly say that it was one of the most challenging, uncertain, stressful, living-on-the-edge kind of years for us. 2019 was unlike any other kind of year I have ever experienced in my life. How? In the way 2019 stretched me… In the way it pressed me… 2019 felt like…”being… Read More 4.3.2020 – A Deeper Understanding

4.2.2020 – Like an old, favorite sweater…

April 2, 2020

How can we comfort one another in these kinds of times? We can find comfort by dwelling with Him in His Word, and reminding one another of His promises. And when we overflow in joy and in faith, we can let it overflow out into the atmosphere… I’ll admit, it’s a struggle in this time….… Read More 4.2.2020 – Like an old, favorite sweater…

4.1.2020 — “Be Still, Cease Striving, Stop Your Fighting, Calm Down, Be in Awe…”

April 1, 2020

This morning I simply heard, “Be still…” But this “be still” had a “…” to it. A knowing that something should come after it, that something should follow it. A little later came… “…and remember (see, know, realize, grasp) that I Am God.” This comes from Psalm 46:10, and I love comparing the wording of… Read More 4.1.2020 — “Be Still, Cease Striving, Stop Your Fighting, Calm Down, Be in Awe…”

March 31, 2020

The Lord keeps bringing Psalm 81 to my attention, and He did again this morning… Psalm 81 English Standard Version Oh, That My People Would Listen to Me 81 Sing aloud to God our strength;    shout for joy to the God of Jacob!2 Raise a song; sound the tambourine,    the sweet lyre with the harp.3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon,    at the full… Read More 3.31.2020 – “Oh, That My People Would Listen to Me”

3.30.2020 – “Sweet Comfort”

March 30, 2020

I love this album of Psalms by Sandra McCracken. There’s something about music that can soothe the soul in times like these.

3.29.2020 – The Hope of Promise

March 29, 2020

Yesterday was such an encouraging day for me. ☀️ It was the first day I’ve been well enough, to be able to solidly work outside… in what seems like forever. Simple things like raking leaves out of my flower beds, weeding, and getting them cleaned up, helping Jason to build our new raised beds… 🧑🏻‍🌾🌱🌷🦋🍃☀️All the… Read More 3.29.2020 – The Hope of Promise

3.28.2020 – Almighty God

March 28, 2020

This morning I am reminded of how, in times of our greatest weakness, in times we are most vulnerable, in times we are “helpless” …and when things are about as “outside of our control” as they can possibly be…. How much more can God be God? How much more must we depend on Him? How… Read More 3.28.2020 – Almighty God

March 27, 2020

In the midst of the overwhelming noise of fear, and the distraction of conspiracy… God is speaking. 🍃☀️ He’s reminding. He’s unfolding. He’s revealing.

3.26.2020 – Time of Preparation, Renewal, and Hope

March 26, 2020

I’ve been thinking a lot about gardening lately, as we’re building some new raised beds, and getting seeds started, and preparing the land. I’ve also been thinking a lot about flowering trees, specifically flowering “fruit” trees. I have a tiny little patio peach tree that’s pretty much just a branch, and to my surprise it… Read More 3.26.2020 – Time of Preparation, Renewal, and Hope

3.25.2020 – His Way Leads to Healing and Refreshment

March 25, 2020

Jason said I woke up laughing again… 😆 He said he asked me what I was laughing about, and I told him, but neither he nor I remember. I wonder what God is doing. 💖 A few of years ago, before I started dreaming regularly and before I began recalling and recording my dreams, I… Read More 3.25.2020 – His Way Leads to Healing and Refreshment

March 23, 2020

Worry sometimes comes in like a “wave”… Worry can sweep in and catch us off guard, and before we know it, we can find ourselves being “swept away” by that overwhelming thought –and before we know it, we can find ourselves being carried out to a sea of worrisome thoughts and fears.

March 21, 2020

The word, “alignment” has been on my mind a lot lately. As I sit here before the Lord this morning, it keeps coming to mind….
