So yesterday was a bit of a challenge. I'm not sure why but I had the sense it would be in spite of the fact that I got the work done that I intended before I left. A little more in fact - pictures resized for a different blog post entirely. The way to work … Continue reading Beginning Again

David Crowder Band or Crowder has this song I Am. The refrain has been running through my head since waking up. I AM Holding on to youI AM Holding on to you In the middle of the storm I AM Holding on to you I AM I AM Holding on to … Continue reading I AM holding on to You
Perfection
James 1: 2 - 4 Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let perseverance be perfect, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Matthew 5:48 So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect. Awww … Continue reading Perfection
Sometimes I feel a bit weird
But this post on Matt Walsh's blog reminded me I'm not. I am a unique individual. Made in the image and likeness of God. Go be the kid God wants You to be, not who everyone else thinks you should be. God bless! Teri
Word of God Speak
At one point in my life I learned the JOY acronym. As acronyms go this is a pretty good one: Jesus - First Others - Second Yourself - Last This essentially puts us in the "right working order".

"Be still and know that I Am God" quietly strolls through my mind asking me to … Continue reading Be Still and Know

When I looked at the readings for tomorrow (it's Tuesday night when I'm writing) I giggled as I scanned Jonah's journey through the City of Nineveh calling them to conversion of heart … Continue reading Jonah and Surprise!!

I may not ever need to … Continue reading Come to the Quiet
For Better, for worse
and no I don't mean the cartoon. This Lent already has given me a beautiful gift and a deep reminder of why we practice. Yes, we enter into the desert with Jesus for 40 days of fasting and temptation. I know I become keenly aware of chocolate when I give it up for any period … Continue reading For Better, for worse
Lenten Reflection
Alert: This post is not to chide or correct or shame anyone. This has been on my heart for much longer than the beginning of this Lenten Season. Social media often makes us keenly aware of people's feelings and reactions. Sometimes I can set them aside and move on however the ongoing reaction to "giving … Continue reading Lenten Reflection
