PSALM 107 Give thanks to the Lord for He is good! His loving-kindness lasts forever! 2 Let the people who have been saved say so. He has bought them and set them free from the hand of those who hated them. 3 He gathered them from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. 4 Some …
In His Presence
On Tuesday Morning, Carey encouraged us to seek God's presence as she led us through worship with song and scripture. Below is the Psalm she shared with us. Take some time this week to read through the words again. Meditate on what it tells us about the character of God and claim its promises for …
An Intimate Home
Our experiences to this point have shaped our notion of what a home should be ... the way it feels when you walk in the door, who greets you and how, the way it sounds and smells as you linger in every room. Home involves our most personal preferences, don't you think? Jesus describes a …
Wordless Sighs
I know. I know: a blog is not the place to become wordless! Yet, here am with my fingers poised on the keys, less than 1 week before our Summer Bible Study: Dwelling, and I can't squish all my feelings and thoughts neatly into vowels and consonants. Turns out this has happened before, to me …
Letting Go
Today's post is dedicated to all of you who have children graduating this month and is a great reminder to all of us to hold the ones we love on the palm of our hand. I wrote it two years ago when our oldest graduated from high school and was reminded of the words again …
A Remedy for Spring Madness
My lilacs are blooming! You know what that means? Spring is officially here. Spring can be a crazy time, can’t it? Between school-year activities winding down and summer activities gearing up, I’m not always sure whether I’m coming or going. Track meets, ball games, final concerts, graduation parties, family gatherings, travel . . . these …
What’s Next?
On Tuesday, we had our class parties celebrating the end of another year of Equip Her Tuesday Mornings. Here are a few pictures from the MUMs gathering, and though I don’t have pictures to prove it, I’m betting the other classes had similar moments enjoying good food, laughter and sharing. So what’s next? The end …
A Savior is Born
A cross forms the backdrop for my nativity scene downstairs. There’s a reason for that. I don’t know about you, but I need a visual reminder—not just once, but many times during the holiday season—for the real reason we celebrate. Don’t get me wrong. I love Christmas. I love how the season starts with "thanks …
Grateful Now
We began our time together on Tuesday with a look at this video clip: Are you thankful for the gift of NOW? Are you counting down the days, crossing out the ones you’ve survived, in hopes that you’ll get to ______________? (fill in the blank with your heart’s longing). Jesus learned firsthand about this waiting …
Planning for Summer
Wasn't last Tuesday Morning fun? It's always a little bittersweet to say good-bye for the summer, but thanks to these lovely ladies, at least we were able to do it with a laugh. If you missed the fun, don't despair. Of course, we have a video! Just click HERE for another view of our Girls of …
