I am a dreamer and thinker. I love dreaming about all the coulds. I like to know all my options of what we could do. Even if I do … Continue reading Could (FMF Link UP)
Right... "I just can't get it right," I declared a little too loudly. It slipped out from my subconscious and gave away my inner struggle. I wanted to feel and think rightly about the transition we were about to make. Instead I was anxious and unsettled. I could not make myself think and act "right". … Continue reading Right (FMF Link Up)
Respect... This has been an interesting year wrestling through what respect means. In 1 Peter 2:17 it says, "Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor." Some ladies and I were studying this towards the beginning of all the shutdowns. Peter talks about gentleness and respect a lot. … Continue reading Respect (FMF Link Up)
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)
