Advent is Here
Do you ever just feel 6 years old? I did this morning when I came back to Advent...When I cuddled up on the couch after Russell had gone... advent together every morning is so special but do you remember being a kid?... longing for time... just you and daddy?... for me it was 5 kids, me being the second youngest, and the youngest girl, and there were times I just wanted to be alone with my daddy, just me and daddy...sitting together, being together, with no other... but him and me. And when I returned this morning to the advent reading and started singing silent night, it became silent, and I visited the hillside with the stars shining bright... it felt like a holy place, calm in the twilight under the bright stars and I was being called to come...✨come and be... just me and Him🌟

Draw Near

Draw Near Why do you hesitate to draw near my child? Do you not see me as a loving Father? Let me heal your past... Let me heal your heart... Do you not know the way you were trained as a child has influenced your perception of me? Let me heal your past... Let me heal your heart... Your heart was wounded when you were a young child. All  you heard and saw  formed your belief patterns. "I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly." Come, come to me. Sit, let me kiss your cheek and hold you. Breathe, just breathe. Take in the fresh wind of my Spirit, let it blow the chaff away. Let it carry away all the memories that are keeping you from the smiles and joy I have for you. Oh daughter of mine let's run through the meadow. Can you feel the cool breeze on your cheeks and the grass brushing against your legs? Can you hear the waves rolling, rushing onto shore, to meet your toes and fill them with sand? Can you smell the salty se...

Untangled Lines Catch Fish

Untangled lines Catch Fish Read John 15:1-14 Sometimes the cares of this life get me tangled into a knotted up ball.  As the day gets going, I sometimes find myself unable to reach the plan set before me. And I hear "Take Heart - There is hope" We took our very young grand sons fishing And they were so excited... It didn't take but a few minutes before their fishing lines got so tangled that papa had to cut them off and start over. In John Chapter 15  Jesus is saying that He is the true vine and that His Father is the vine dresser. Immediately upon reading this I realize God, my Father, wants to prune every branch in my life that is tangled up and choking out the productive branches. Because they are keeping me from being connected to the vine, which is Jesus. I think it is interesting that this scripture refers to us as branches and Jesus as the vine. It is habit for vines to grow and twine themselves around somethi...

A Threatening Storm

  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when w...
