    Lent- Weeding and Seeding

    To truly receive the gift of forgiveness and new life, I have to see how much my life depends on it.

    The Order of Things

    I love order. But why do I fight it when the order isn’t how I would order it? Time to stop looking for short cuts and be present in the process- no matter what it looks like.

    There's Still Time For Advent

    It's a crazy time and so easy to get distracted or to feel the pressure to have it all together.  But what if we slowed down long enough to remember?  To reflect on where we've come from in order to better see where we are going.  To remember how much we are loved in order to live as the beloved child of God.  There is no naughty and nice list here.  Just forgiveness and love and a promise of more to come.

    Bees

    Soaking up all the final days on the farm and a swarm of bees is challenging me to let go and move forward. There’s life ahead- an ever-flowing spring to fill me and guide me. It’s GO time!

    It's Gonna Be Ok

    There's a lot happening, and it's happening faster than I'd hoped.  I'm up late making lists, worrying about how it's all going to get done.  And it took a chapter from Monroe's children's Bible to remind me that I am God's child, he loves me dearly, and his favor is on me.  He loves taking care of the things I'm most worried about. It's gonna be ok.

    What Should We Do?

    After John calls out the wrong living of the people, they ask "what now?"  And his answer, even though I have read it many times, surprised me this time.  I think it's because I'm wearing a new lens, the lens of the "fast type of life", and it is starting to shake things up a bit.
