Wishing you a merry weekend.

We had Thanksgiving. But we didn’t take a single

We had Thanksgiving. But we didn’t take a single picture. We just enjoyed our people. Ate food. And were so very thankful to be together.

BEFORE ALL THAT- Chad and I hopped in the car for a few of our favorites. The sweetheart on the left is everything I’m not. And I’m so thankful to have that otherness in my life even when time and space keep us apart. The middle beauty is everything the both of us aspire to become. These friendships were forged as we served in our local church together for a decade until God moved us to the Big City. Time I wouldn’t trade for any amount.

It was good for my soul to make the time when there is no time.

Make some friends who are like 30 years older than you. They actually know a thing or two. 🙌

This year we are cooperating with Goodworks jewelry donating 25% to various projects each year, such as orphan care, hunger, education, and poverty. Not only does your purchase make a difference in this ministry, it reaches beyond.

At my house we have a copy cat. A person who will mimic pretty much what she sees and hears you do. From your laugh to your mannerisms to your words and how you hold you’re hand in church. And she’s not 4.
It’s pretty irritating on a daily basis. But at its core—sobering.

Where am I leading her? Who will she become based on what she learns of me?

My goal is the same as hers— to act and sound like the one I am following.

Your situation may not be as extreme in-your-face obvious as mine- but this remains our aim.

Oh how I pray to follow well.

This year I have happened upon old prayers recorde

This year I have happened upon old prayers recorded by those who have walked before us. Imperfect souls, for sure, but often voicing a heart similar to my own. Somehow I find them encouraging. At the same time - each one adds a little fire to my spirit to know— I am not alone in this journey toward becoming like Christ. People have been walking this path for centuries- facing the same struggles, yearning for what I yearn for, being stirred by the only one who can bring it about.

This particular prayer is from a collection William Bright put together in the early 1900’s.

May God do just this in our hearts this season. ❤️

The God of Hope.

Maybe this is as profound as being mesmerized about gravity— but He doesn’t have to be this for us to still be God.

But we so desperately need it.
So He is.

Then He can fill you with all joy and peace so that you, YOURSELF overflow with hope….

Now that’s worth praying for.

A W Tozer’s perspective caused me to pause—
I suppose I don’t think about my gratitude as being “precious” to God.

I love the reality he reminds us of - if we are in Christ - there are no differences between us-

It doesn’t matter what we have or don’t have materially- speaking
Are we grateful?
Will we offer it as an offering precious to Him.

Are you a person who never wants to be a bother? You have issues, problems, or struggles you keep to yourself because it doesn’t seem like something you should pray about?

Not so.

Either it’s nothing — or it’s something you need to take to the Lord.

Simply said.
A powerful reminder.

That’s a tired happy smile. My deadline for turn

That’s a tired happy smile. My deadline for turning in the manuscript for my new release is right after Thanksgiving. But I think I will finish early. I’m just about done.

My family has been more than gracious to allow me time to work night and day- to see it through. Eating whatever we can find without complaining. My husband has done the majority of the grocery shopping and even keeping up with the laundry.

I’m so prayerful God will use these pages to help move those who need it to deeper places with Him- and set those who believe their only place is somewhere on the sidelines or hidden in the shadows - free!
