The overarching theme of the last six years is, "it doesn't mean what you think it means." A wee bit more pondering brings me to the place of realization that this is very much the theme of life. This is often affirmed in expected places. At the parish I'm part of the Discipleship University team, … Continue reading Word of the Year – a Reflection on Surrender

Rejecting Connection
Happy Easter! Christ is Risen, Alleluia. Apparently I took a blogging break during Lent. It was, as I've read here and there, something of a Lenty Lent. When the Holy Spirit prompts you to go a bit deeper you get to pick, do I go deeper or not. The Holy Spirit only needs an atom … Continue reading Rejecting Connection
Fallow
According to our friends at Merriam-Webster fallow means: usually cultivated land that is allowed to lie idle during the growing season On the kitchen counter is the batch of cinnamon rolls I baked this morning. I make cinnamon rolls once, maybe twice a year, enjoying both the process of making and the decadent delight of … Continue reading Fallow
Asking for Help
I'm currently working on editing a video interview. A couple of months ago I knew how to add a couple of features and now, because of lack of practice, I don't remember. Thankfully I have a friend who will help me so I'll be back up and running fairly quickly. This is a good reminder … Continue reading Asking for Help
Lead me to the Cross
On and off over the last couple of weeks I've been waking up with a song in my head. Sometimes it's the melody only, like a delightful ear worm, and others it's words and music. I'd missed this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7tpWU_JlhY This mornings Lead me to the Cross by Hillsong seems so appropriate as Lent begins Wednesday … Continue reading Lead me to the Cross
The Road to New Life
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
Deeper Peace
I spent a whole lot of Saturday in the sewing room working on a couple of projects. I fiddled around with a small piece for 1000 Postcards for Peace. Once I find the envelopes I need this, and two other pieces will go in the mail. There is something beautiful that comes from the making … Continue reading Deeper Peace
Define, Refine
I'm sitting in my living room trying to write this blog post for the third, maybe fourth, time. A Quilter's Heart is akin to the prayer journals that I once kept daily. I miss that time with God, handing all of those big, and little things that filled my heart with joy, with love, with tenderness, … Continue reading Define, Refine
Have I ever shared
So, in an earlier part of my life part of my work was to go to conferences to promote the ministry my sweetie and I worked with. When I first started going it was particularly challenging because my personal preference would be to blend into the nearest wall, becoming invisible, unseen. This wasn't about me … Continue reading Have I ever shared
Peaceful
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
