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 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 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 28
7.7.13-7.13.13 continued from week 27… I sent Spencer in through the house to meet me at the front door. I pulled the envelope off the door and opened it, only to read “Urgent Notice” regarding our past due mortgage from Wells Fargo. I stagger to get up the foyer stairs. If Spencer wasn’t here I’d…

Week 27
6.30.13-7.6.13 continuing on from week 25 (and 26)… …There were tears within each of our eyes. Some of the words I shared with our three were “Our days may feel a little more difficult over the next few weeks but we have peace and as we choose to follow Jesus, He will help us.” Sitting…

Week 25
6.17.13-6.23.13 From my journal on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Jesus, I’ve got a lot of anxiousness about work lately. It’s filled my mind, or at least it’s trying to creep in, to fill my mind. Jesus, You alone are beautiful. The thought of You and me together in eternity is my soul’s only satisfaction. Lord,…

Week 24
6.10.13-6.16.13 continued from week 23… Recall with me why I came to Jesus asking Him “What is Your abundant life anyway, and how can I, can we, have it?” – it was because our day-in, all-night, and day-out reality was operating at warp speed. We were the warp-speed-Shultz’s. I am being undone all over again…
