Deep

Deep... "The purpose in a man's heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out." Proverbs 20:5 There is a deeper narrative in this world that was set before time. That deep narrative is set in our hearts. Until we are connected to it, we will not experience true peace. …

Why?

Why? Such a tiny word that either gives purpose or causes trouble depending on how and when it is being asked. The grieving parent, sibling, relative, or friend over a tragic loss of another, or traumatic event asks with anguish... why? The worker laid off or let go...why? The person who thought the relationship was …

Pace (FMF Link Up)

Pace... In high school I ran track. I started with winter track and the coach just stuck all the girls in the 55 meter sprint, regardless of what our abilities were. The pace was super fast and the race was over before it really began for me. This did not deter me from joining Spring …

Middle (FMF Link Up)

Middle Middle of life Middle of transitions Middle of launching a child Middle of grief Middle of trying to figure out what is next Middle... is it really the middle? Only time will tell. I am thinking that middle is sort of an illusion that we like to hold onto when we no longer can …

Take (FMF Link up)

"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, 'Take and eat; this is my body'..."

Question (FMF Link Up)

Question... Oh question... I am good at that. I have been told that I question too much, or that I ask too many questions. I am reminded of a quote from Andy Stanley that says you need to ask the right questions to get the right answers. Which of course sends me off on what …

Goal (FMF Link Up)

Goal... Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 I get distracted by goals …

Well (FMF Link up)

Well... Do you want to be made well? Jesus asked that question often in his ministry. It seems like an odd one at first glance. Of course they want to be made well. Why wouldn't someone want to be made well? But as I zoom in closer to people that I know Jesus has offered …

Promise (FMF Link UP)

Linking up with http://www.Fiveminutefriday.com (Saturday for me) The rules are: set a timer and free write for five minutes on word prompt, then share. Promise... Last week's word was practice and this week's is promise for Five Minute Friday. I never quite made it to last week's due to life, but for me these two …

Opportunity (FMF Link Up)

Linking up with http://www.Fiveminutefriday.com.  The rules are: set a timer and free write for five minutes on word prompt, then share. Opportunity... as soon as I saw the word prompt I thought of Galatians 6:10. When I searched it, the amplified said it best: So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let …
