When I started this post about being on the road to new life it seemed as though I'm entering something new,. Something allowed me to see that this is refreshed life. That the things that happen are all part of life, that trying to separate these things out and put this experience in this box, … Continue reading The Road to New Life
Reflections on Life
We had twelve amazing years with my mother-in-love. There were some challenging moments as we learned to live together, each one worth it. I miss her physical presence even now. After hear passing we dealt with some of her stuff, clothing given away, food stuffs depending on the date either tossed or consumed. Eventually her … Continue reading Reflections on Life
And Cue Music
Imagine if you well a quilt shop machine sales floor, having a conversation with both a coworker and another customer. The discussion vibrant when, as if on cue over the sound system we hear, "Let it go, Let it goooooooooooooooo". This morning I'm in my sewing studio packing up to move. This space was at … Continue reading And Cue Music
True Love

While we are apart from one another the longing grows deeper. We pray for one another each day for growth in holiness, … Continue reading True Love

I'm learning something right now that is wildly hard. Obedience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6X71sXagUY I will move forward in obedience. This is the line from the song rattling around my head for the last few days. You know how someone half sings, half hums without quite having the words. Watching various social media channels over the last week, … Continue reading Taking a Step in Obedience
Move, Moving, Moved
Moved Today's readings include the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. In reading Bishop Robert Barron's Lenten reflection on the Gospel I was moved by the insights: Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman. Throughout the Old Testament, wells are trysting places. Abraham’s servant found a wife for Isaac by a well; … Continue reading Move, Moving, Moved
Experiencing Lent
In a way this Lent is lived wildly differently than recent Lents. The giving up is physical, emotional, and spiritual, freeing, and very Easter like. The physical/emotional giving up has to do with the purge of moving. I can assure you that this purge isn't easy as it is big one examination of conscience, a … Continue reading Experiencing Lent
In Answer to Prayer
https://twitter.com/Joeinblack/status/1231179922191847424 One of the thoughts I picked up when working with a friend is, "God writes straight with crooked lines." While thinking about this an image of mountain switchbacks popped into my head. And because of that an image of quilted ribbon candy. Then I thought I'd like to start out every single story with, … Continue reading In Answer to Prayer
On my heart today
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, all your mind and all your strength. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will direct your path.
Hymn on my mind
They that wait upon the Lord; will renew their strength. They shall mount up with wing like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Teach me Lord to wait. Have a great day. God bless, Teri
