Its been over a year... i want to write again

Our Street

The Season of life that I am now in is so different then anything I've ever known, it is rich, it is blessed, it is new, it is beautiful, it is challenging, and it is changing me.

expression of my husbands love
More then a few things have been on my heart and haven't stopped going around and around in my mind...
How God orchestrates life as He is outside of time and space
That He brought me to this place and allowed for me to become one with a man who loves and points me to Christ
When the leaves started changing I found myself rejoicing in the rich colors God created
My husband brought me flowers on a day in my heart I was wishing for flowers.. God knows the wishes of my heart..that seem so little and unimportant
Life is hard, health and body are unreliable, but God slowed me down to listen, to pray, to be alone
Friendships are precious to my soul, many friends are far away...i'm called to Pray for them.
Distance in the the realm of praying to my Almighty God means nothing
Giving and loving looks different now...what am I sacrificing...for God, for loving well, for the gospel?
Why are we here and for how long will be here... what will be next?
Contentment and courage to settle down here and put down roots...purchasing good winter boots
Being so sensitive to the Spirits leading...to not get to comfortable
Where will He lead us if He does? We will go anywhere... do anything. Even stay here?
I long to become more and more sensitive to the Spirit of God and know His presence and obey His leading in my mind and in my actions.
Oh the mind, it is where idols are born and sin happens without anyone knowing
To just love well, to feel others pain and joy, to experience the rawness of life with others.
and lastly...
Thinking on and drawing near to my sweet Good Shepherd...knowing His protection and provision...waiting and resting in His presence...and being thankful.

Thankful for Farmers Markets
There are two many thoughts and prayers and burdens and joys to write them all.
Yet this is just beginning and I again want to worship my Savior through creating in word and art.
Expressing life's struggles, digesting truth, and enjoying beauty.
This new season must be documented and thought on ...for I know well that time will go by all to quickly.


Soaking up fall and all its glory
