Guilt. Failure. Weariness. All these are reasons why we sometimes don’t go to God. Or maybe we do go to God but we do so without expecting much. Or we start our prayers with lists of what we need forgiveness for. We feel unworthy. Or rather, we know we are unworthy…and we’re just not sure …
God is so good. /// I woke up to an automated phone call that Col. Crawford schools (and their busses) were on a 2-hour delay. It added to the already-overwhelmed feeling I’ve been fighting this week. For those that don’t know… my kids ride the Col. Crawford bus to the local school, then board Col. …
“See the love the Father has lavished upon us, that we would be called the children of God!” “For I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ …
Have you actually listened to the words of this song? These words… they are just so perfect, and so powerful. That is, when they come from my heart in an attempt to express what I feel… well, it is just as the song says. “Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer I never …
Hectic… crazy… rushed… Sound like life? It all-too-often sounds like mine. Granted, I really do like to be busy, and I don’t think it’s wrong to want to pack a lot of living into however many years I’ve been given. But… Do you ever get the feeling that our focus gets “off” sometimes? That we …

Today is Good Friday… when we remember what Jesus did for us. I’m not going to write a lot… but I ask that you click “Play” and let the truth of this song fill your heart with love and thanksgiving for your amazing Savior.
So how do we let our Light shine? How do we reach out to the world around us? I have a deeply-rooted belief that only Jesus can reach the world around me that needs Him so desperately. Maybe that sounds like such an obvious statement that there’s no point in saying it… but here’s the …
I’m inserting this post from Katie-in-Uganda into my blog back in time (because I didn’t find it ’till the 23rd, but I’d rather attach it to the 13th, which is when she wrote it). I’m going to trust that God will lead those who need to read it to find it. I’m also going to …
I read another thought-provoking post this morning from Katie-in-Uganda’s blog.
