Put on your Dancing Shoes

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand. Psalms 37:23,24 About that disappointment you’re feeling…  God’s working behind the scenes to make it a God-appointment.  That’s Sovereignty.  There are no missteps, only His steps; no detours, only God-tours. Rejoice in...

God’s A Planner

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”  Jeremiah 29:11 Satan is our disaster-planner, but he’s not the writer of our future.  God is.  Best of all, God is into the details, right down to our cellular level. Consider the word disaster.  An “aster” is a star-shaped structure that forms...

Who’s At The Wheel?

Be still, and know that I am God!  Psalm 46:10 Be still in this restless world?  Is it even possible?  Perhaps not.  Unless we let God do the stilling in us. Be still, and know that I am God! Maybe if he does the stilling while we do the knowing, we’ll get somewhere.  Somewhere serene on this sacred journey to stillness. Be still, and know that I am God! Why in the world is this taking...

The Big Fail

“Simon Peter followed Jesus, as did another of the disciples.  That other disciple was acquainted with the high priest, so he was allowed to enter the high priest’s courtyard with Jesus.  Peter had to stay outside the gate. Then the disciple who knew the high priest spoke to the woman watching at the gate, and she let Peter in.  The woman asked Peter, “You’re not one of that man’s...

A Time To Die?

A Time To Die?

Leaves litter the ground, reminding me how seasons bleed, one into the next, as quick as a blink, while God waits for us to catch new vision. I kick back on the swing, crunching my feet in fresh crisps of color as I mull over memories of my dear Aunt Shirley.  How strange I can’t call her anymore. As sudden as a Minnesota temperature drop, her brain aneurism leaves my own brain reeling. I...

The Beautiful Choice

    Choices…. God could have made us robots, marching to His heart, forced to love completely, obeying from the start.   Instead He made us separate, with built-in modes for choice, so love would prove more precious when we finally hear His voice… I wrote that in high school when faced with a gazillion choices… I was the insecure girl who believed that if somebody didn’t...
