Worthy... throughout Scripture God is described as worthy of praise. Jesus in Revelation is described as worthy of praise and honor and glory. John the Baptist says he is not worthy to undo Jesus' sandals, let alone baptize Him, but we see Jesus, the one who is worthy of all honor, glory, and praise lowering … Continue reading Worthy (FMF Link Up)
Stay... I have a tendency to want to drop in quick and leave. Do my mission and go. It is not intentional, it just something in me. Maybe not wanting to bother someone, not wanting to make a big deal over why I am there, but something I have found over the years is that … Continue reading Stay (FMF Link UP)
"Each day the world is born anew for him who takes it rightly." - James Russell Lowell Born... I love late Spring when the whole world seems to be coming alive. All seems to be born anew after a long winter's nap. It is a slow birth with much detail I have noticed. The last … Continue reading Born (FMF Link Up)
Forward... I laughed when I saw the word prompt for this week. Forward seems to be the word of this week or really of this season, the sacred echo. Earlier in the week I was talking to a friend about the word forward, and what does that look like right now as far as church … Continue reading Forward (FMF Link Up)
Normal... Why be normal? I wore that pin on my jacket upside down proudly until my cousin pointed out that everyone wore that pin that way. After that stage had passed of wanting to be "weird", apparently the way everyone else did, I started craving normal. I didn't know there wasn't such a thing. I … Continue reading Normal (FMF Link Up)
Refrain... my first thought was the negative definition of refrain, not doing something, but my next thought was of refrain as in a response in a liturgy, or a chorus in a song. As with many people lately, I have been trying to get outside and enjoy the Spring. I am watching and waiting for … Continue reading Refrain (FMF Link Up)
Distraction... I laughed when I saw the word. That is my life, and this pandemic has not helped. I am the quintessential joke of the woman cleaning a room and then leaving it to put something away, and then seeing something else, and starting that, and so on, only to get to the end of … Continue reading Distraction (FMF Link Up)
Perspective...It is so easy to be so close to a situation, or so caught up in it that we lose perspective. Everything kind of gets blurry and things look different than they really are. Sometimes things seem so much bigger, and other things so much smaller than in reality they are. The important thing with … Continue reading Perspective (FMF Link Up)
Another... There is another narrative flowing throughout all time and history that is truer than any story being told. God is making all things new. He is in the process of redeeming and restoring this world. The narrative of the world is loud and appears to be the truest because there seems to be so … Continue reading Another (FMF Link Up)
Now... Over the past couple of years I have been learning and practicing the discipline of being fully present. I have a deep desire to be fully present to the circumstance and people in the moment. I believe that God asks that of us. As much as we desire the future and yearn for it, … Continue reading Now (FMF Link Up)
