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🌟

Higher Places

Higher Places Your ways oh Lord are high, keep my foot from slipping. Beautiful is the climb that leads to you oh God I'm pressing in, I'm pressing hard to reach you, surrendering all  Help me oh God of Jacob  Help me to trust enough to place my child on the altar  you've instructed me to build. Help me lead her to the place of complete, utter  confidence that you oh God have the plan and the sacrifice, t he perfect unblemished lamb Surrendering our  children to God is a lifelong task, never completed until we are truly able to gather the wood and climb that mountain of obedience, with  their hand in ours. It's a time where if we think to hard we'll just turn and go back... only to experience the defeat of a lifetime.  God knows how precious is a son or  daughter , He knows how truly difficult it is to take our hands off, when everything in us has been given to  their...

Anger, Resentment, Unforgiveness, It Burns!

Anger Resentment Unforgiveness It Burns I wonder how different the outcome, had Daniel chosen to be angry and fearful in the midst of this betrayal.  It's obvious King Darius had respect for and esteemed Daniel. Daniel 6:1-3 , Let's pick up the story here... v. 1-3 "It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom; one hundred satraps,(I would liken them to mayors) to be over the whole kingdom; and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss. Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. " So here we have Daniel receiving a promotion and the next thing that happens is the others become hot with envy and try to look for a way to take him out. How many times an envious spirit has come over me and caused havoc in relationships, producing so much dis...

Reset  Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved... Lord Clear my spirit of the invasion of my soul and it's soulish, selfish ways. It  seems to be my default. Your ways Lord, your high and lifted ways, seem unreachable this morning; and then you whisper, "It's the distractions of everything around you that wants to carry you away from my presence." "I know Lord, I'm fighting to stay, to surrender it all." Then I remember, this battle is yours not mine, this battle to just be still in your arms. "Oh my beloved, how can I live in this torn up world and not be distracted by all the noise?" Take me away my bridegroom King, set me atop the mountain of your heart, deafen my ears, and reset the default of my heart to your voice alone. The Bridegroom King 5)Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the a...
