The Narrow Gate

Oct 31, 2016

“Enter through the narrow gate.”   Jesus speaks in parables and metaphors and truth that is revealed to us as we live in him and dedicate our lives to him. He did not expect many to understand what he was saying. It’s only in the meditating on and living with a portion of his teaching, […]

You called; I came

Oct 24, 2016

  My posts this week follow the theme I posted last week, “You called; I came.” Each day’s quote is a prime example of God’s voice as I heard it in my mind. What I have learned is that God doesn’t think at all like me, so that his voice is highlighted within me whenever […]

You Called; I Came.

Seamless

Sep 26, 2016

It is so interesting to me to go from feeling like a totally separate, independent person to having a seamless relationship with God where I can no longer tell the difference between the way he thinks and the way I think. When I first surrendered my life to God I used to trade things off […]

Surely…

Sep 19, 2016

Surely……This word rings out loud and clear for me from the 23rd Psalm. And there is more: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” But it is the word surely that has resonated with me over the last […]

Unpacking our Stuff

Sep 12, 2016

When we move, we pack up and then unpack our stuff, choosing to keep what is still useful to us and giving away or selling what no longer works for us. Whether we are moving to a bigger place or downsizing, we choose to move with what suits our new life. The same is true […]
