WALKING FORWARD IN THE LIGHT: Part 1

Ecclesiastes 13:1-8

Everything has its time & each season brings new transitions that elicit different feelings & different choices that help to shape our lives. Our challenge is to continue to move forward in the living of our days making healthy choices as we transition from one season to the next, growing ever closer into the image of God in Who’s image we were created & called to reflect.

WALKING FORWARD IN THE LIGHT: Part 2

Ecclesiastes 13:1-8

Though it is natural to feel unsettled & stressed in times of transition, staying in that feeling is not healthy. The Bible tells us that God is the Light of the world. He will show us the Light for our pathway through the various transitions we face if we trust in His Holy Word. 

The Palpable Sense of the Sacred: Part 1

Romans 1:20

Though God our creator is not the wind nor the water themselves He is embedded in the light, the wind & the water & in all living things. It is the beauty, stirring & rumbling of nature that reveals the trace of the Divine.

The Palpable Sense of the Sacred: Part 2

Romans 1:20

If only we pay attention, we will be able to behold & sense our Sacred Holy creator whenever we come to the water’s edge, whenever we pause & behold the etching of His almighty hand.

Overcoming Suffering & Surrendering to God: Part 1

As beautiful as life can be, there truly is suffering in life. Sometimes the suffering is so intense that we can become overcome & literally immobilized with despair, feeling helpless & hopeless about ever being able to do anything to heal or correct whatever issue may be causing the sadness & pain. Regardless of what the form of suffering is when we experience it in our life there can be no healing if our spirits are wounded & if we become consciously or unconsciously disconnected from God. We need God in order to survive & to heal from the suffering that comes upon us in life.

Overcoming Suffering & Surrendering to God: Part 2

The more we realize how much God loves us, the easier surrendering becomes. Trials in life should not surprise us, nor cause us to doubt God’s faithfulness.

HEALING: Part 1

Matthew 11:28 & Isaiah 55: 10-11

Sometimes things outside of our control are set before us in life that make it a challenge for us to feel grateful to God & to rejoice. However, in our heart of hearts as well as from the biblical accounts, we know God created all life & therefore there is wholeness & goodness in all things from God. It is His will that we are made whole. He hears our cries & welcomes us to come to Him through His healing grace.

HEALING: Part 2

Matthew 11:28 & Isaiah 55: 10-11

God’s mercy & goodness will never fail us. God calls us to come to Him for He seeks wholeness for all of His creation. In times of suffering, we can choose to unburden our hearts & lift up thanks, praise & rejoicing to our holy living God for all the blessings & healing we have received & will receive, for He has promised to heal us & to give us new life.

The Current of God’s Love: Part 1 (Luke 24:13-27, Romans 8:38-39, Psalm 34:18)

In these warming days, we are drawn to take in the beauty of God’s creation & to observe & celebrate the new life given by God our Creator, as we observe & experience the fullness of the Holy Season of Easter.
