prayer
“Stephanie, where do I go to pray for you today? I’m sitting at my table, coffee in my right hand and my Bible in my left.” It’s not every day that you get emails that start with those words…so many emotions in those simple words. The reality that someone cares enough to intentionally sit down … Continue reading prayer
justice
It is impossible to read the Bible and not see that justice is a theme from start to finish. It is even in the birth of Jesus. Was it fair his parents had to travel? Was it fair that he was born in a barn? Was it fair Herod wanted the baby dead, so he … Continue reading justice
hope
Hope is a strange thing, and a lot of times we find it in strange places. Last summer there was this star I noticed that was tracking with the moon for several nights. It was the brightest star in the sky, and the first to show up at night. For whatever reason, it has been … Continue reading hope
steadfast
Today I was driving and saw the strangest thing. We’ve had millions of birds in KC this year. Many times I have thought I was in the middle of Alfred Hitchock’s ‘The Birds’ movie. It is creepy. Super creepy. However, today, there were thousands of birds flying in the WRONG DIRECTION. They were very clearly … Continue reading steadfast
delight
Delightful. I have been trying to use this word more often. Mostly because I get stuck on words, and start annoying myself when I use it often. I started over-using ‘beautiful’ to describe things, and now every time I say it I cringe inwardly. I was stuck on ‘stellar’ once. Now it only appears every … Continue reading delight
holy
Christmas confessions. I really do not like Christmas hymns. Sharp pitched notes, different versions of the same thing…it’s not the cynical ‘I hate Christmas,’ because I love Christmas. I just do not like the music that is traditionally associated with it. I do like Christmas music that is ‘not’ Christmas music to a lot of … Continue reading holy
wisdom
When was the last time you had no clue as to what to say to someone? No words. No answers. No problem solving. No wisdom. Just legitimate loss for what to say. I was having this conversation with a friend tonight when afterward I got into my car and the lyrics playing as soon as … Continue reading wisdom
ready
Just when I think I am ready for something...I quickly discover I am not, which is why I choose to live with flexibility that helps me adapt surrounded by others that believe in me and what God is doing within me. But what makes us ready for what this world throws at us? Is it … Continue reading ready
awake
I strongly dislike mornings. If I am awake early, it is purely strong black sludge in a mug that makes me appear human. Which means I am a night owl. I love the quiet of night, and if you look at the time stamps of when I post you will notice a pattern of time … Continue reading awake
