Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Oh the thoughts I think while sipping coffee, with music playing in the background, facebook in another tab, and a mental checklist of what's going with me today. I'm heading off to a friends to baste a quilt (or two … Continue reading Borrowing Worry

This is the moment
"Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created" Esther 4:14 So yeah. This verse came up in my fb newsfeed recently.

Each day there is … Continue reading This is the moment
Wait
Psalm 13: How long, LORD? Will you utterly forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I carry sorrow in my soul, grief in my heart day after day? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look upon me, answer me, LORD, my God! Give light to my … Continue reading Wait

For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” Finding the rest of Luke 6 and oh so … Continue reading Peeling the Layers Back
The Most Unlikely

But the LORD said to Samuel: "Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature, because I have rejected him. Not as man sees does God see, because man … Continue reading The Most Unlikely
Play Ground
I spent most of my growing up years in the projects of a medium sized town. There were some rough moments, it had some good moments, mostly it's just life. Smack in the middle of the development sits a playground complete with merry-go-round, climbing bars, swing set, slide, basketball court, and space for us to … Continue reading Play Ground
