You all know that "Oceans" speaks to my heart deeply, in looking back there are at least 6 posts with the song as the basis. It's come up in the play list on Pandora on two separate stations with some frequency, whispering sweetly to Trust God ever more deeply. Trusting God that he is leading … Continue reading Peaceful

Did you ever?
If today you hear His Voice, harden not your hearts. Hebrews 3. As I started writing this post the verse from Hebrews wiggled its way to the top of the thoughts running through my brain. I took a moment to look it up and then read the chapter the verse is in. The chapter speaks of … Continue reading Did you ever?
