Week 42
continued from Week 41 Does anyone else joke with Jesus? Do you ever remind Him, “You made me this way!”? By this, I’m referring to acknowledging our individual and personal gifts which then can also, and often, be places of potential personal pitfalls. Anyone? Anyone? I have been labeled stubborn for as long as I…

Week 41
continued from Week 40 Another aspect Jesus invited us to change in my return to Him after the fast was the brick and mortar church we attended. At the time we were attending LCBC (Lives Changed by Christ) and it offered us ‘community’ to a degree but… if Jesus has a new place for us,…

Week 40
continued from Week 39 Is it okay if I go side-bar again for a moment? Recalling what was to be my new experience of homeschooling coupled with some journaled words I’ll share a bit regarding a well known verse of Scripture. It’s Psalm 34:7: Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the…

Week 39
continued from Week 38 My job at the time was working as a representative with lia sophia, a direct selling jewelry company. Their business model was set up to provide those of us who worked full-time additional local leads of anyone who expressed interest in purchasing their jewelry or joining the lia sophia team themself.…

Week 38
continued from Week 37 Recalling those earlier days of our willingness to change the aspects of life Jesus had highlighted for us, I laugh out loud! There was a series of signs He gave that I still shake my head about. Caleb and Spencer had already, out of nowhere, brought up not wanting to go…

Week 37
continued from Week 36 During my living-list purge I had asked Jesus about our Community Sundays which was referring to a real snail-mail invitation our family of five sent out to many other local families we considered dear. (For your reading pleasure and more practice understanding Karaese see link below.) Jesus’ answer to me when…

Week 36
continued from Week 35 Recently I was journaling to Jesus about my current awareness of Him alone being the One who sees me. He is the One who has given me a true safe place. Only in, and through Him, am I secure. I also acknowledged the lie, the snare I am sometimes caught in…

Week 35
continued from Week 34 A community built through commonality is something I’ve longed for. For most of my life I would explain my existence as a jack of many, a master of none. This feeling of not being a master of anything kept me on the fringe of most communities. Within my family relationships I…

Week 34
continued from Week 33… I’ll take this time to mention at the start of the year of 2013, when all of this was happening, I had begun something which was new for me, new for Jesus and I. As I approached the end of 2012 I had asked for a “word” to be highlighted that…

Week 33
continued from Week 32… I walked into the house, honestly not really wanting to see or talk with Ryan because while the day was a marking-miraculous day, it was also horribly humiliating. I could tell I wasn’t free from wanting to unleash unfair thoughts towards Ryan for his not being the one to humbly say…
