Lord, we so desperately need rest and peace. We search everywhere and end up with scraps when we need a banquet. Even in our churches and Christian resources we find mostly lists of things we should be doing, but no real relief. Your word promises a rest for Your people and a peace that passes […]

CREATIVE LIFE
Lord, in this season I have been realizing my need for real, tangible things. Things that ground me. Things I can touch, handle, see, and hear. The sound of the wind in the trees or a good rain, the green of the grass, the feel of stroking my dog and feeling the velvet of her […]
STILL WATERS
There is upheaval in my heart, Lord. There are issues, questions, waiting, more questions, repeated prayers that feel like they are on an endless loop, more prayer requests, and more people to care about.
