The Israelites were asked to trust. To trust God to take them out of a land. To bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey. The problem was. . . They needed to go through the desert first. The barren, harsh, desert. For forty years they wandered. Forty years they waited to see the land promised. For most of those who left Egypt, they never lived to see the Promise. Are you in a desert place? During these desert times, God is ever present. As the Israelite's traveled they were hemmed in by fire and ... View Post
When I Couldn’t See
My dearest Elijah, It is Sunday Morning. February 28th. It's been 31 months since you breathed your last. I sit here by the fire aching from within. Life continuing its ebb and flow all the while something so not right. It is the pain a parent walks with each moment after a child has been taken. No matter how strong my walk with God. No matter how much faith I have; the pain remains. You are gone. My life here altered forever. I think of the sunrise that Sunday morning. The incredible grace ... View Post
I Will Trust In You
He takes my hand. That farmer of mine. I ask him how he is. He says fine. See, he lives by the thought; If I live; Great. If I die; Better. He asks me how I am? I begin to weep. You see, because I don't want to lose him. Because I am tired. I am weary. I am tired of bad news. I know there is good in everything. I seek that which is good. But today. For the moment. I am not fine. I am sad. I am scared. I am numb. The CT scan showed some ... View Post
In the Dark
The icy, wind creeps its way through the old windows. Floor to ceiling exposure to the the cold. We gather blankets from the nooks and crannies of this old farm house. Trying to keep warm.

It is so close. Waiting Patiently. For me to fall. For me to surrender to the dark. To all the pain. To a ... View Post
How Will You Spend Lent?
Today is the beginning of Lent. Jesus' journey into the wilderness. A journey he took willingly. Alone. For forty days. The bible is quiet on what happened during that time. One is left pondering what the Savior endured. We know his sustenance did not come from food. He feasted on time with God. He knew what was coming. His time; short. Death drew near. Yet he purposed on. He went to the wilderness so he could feast on the Goodness that awaited. When Jesus stepped out from the wilderness. The enemy Satan was right there to greet him. He gave him no time or warning. He was ... View Post
Friendship
She sent me this when the raw, clawed away at my soul. When the fog was thick and the missing of my son crippled my daily intake of breathing. She was my rock. Always there. Encouraging. Leading me to the cross. She made music where there was chaos. And now it's been a year since she has danced on the streets of gold. And I miss her. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I Say In A Whisper, I'll See You Soon, Because It's Not Really Good Bye February 8, 2015 See you soon I ...
