Do you ever feel like you started out walking with the Lord, and you were so excited, and everything was so amazing and so vibrant, He was so big and so real and so in your face, and so alive and so tangible and all the things.

Holy Moments

Feel like you just washed up on the shore, like driftwood from 2024? Wondering how to pull yourself together for the next wave, 2025? I discovered a life buoy that might help in this new season.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful afternoon, three friends catching up after a year of losses, battles, upheavals. Ready to wrap up 2024 like a half-eaten biscuit and embrace this new season with excitement.

After laughing, growling, prepping for what’s next, we parted ways, basking in the bliss of being together. Being with friends you can cuss and spit with, as you help each other sift through the turbulence, knowing they will always have your back, always be there for you is time well spent.

God in the Orchard

A guest post by Janet Eriksson . . .

One of my favorite parts of summer is spending time in the beautiful orchards in the countryside where I live. When I am surrounded by green orchard trees bending over with delicious fruit, leaves and branches dancing in a warm breeze, my spirit comes alive. I love sitting on a front porch swing eating a peach and listening to the song birds, as they sing their symphony to God. Continue reading “God in the Orchard”

Blanket in the Shade

A guest post by Janet Eriksson . . .

Bible Verse

“The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” — Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)

Reflection

I was exhausted and couldn’t rest. Too much work, too little time. Though I tried to deny it I could feel it: the flame of passion I felt toward my ministry work had grown to a wildfire that threatened to burn me out. I needed to rest. But how?

I took a day off but I was restless. A friend told me, “Take a blanket outside in the shade.” Continue reading “Blanket in the Shade”
