Week 52
continued from Week 51 Nothing within our days of 2013 was predicted and not much of it was easy. That year which was in many ways Jesus and I’s genesis prepared me to… know to be ready for more which in our case was actually less, but ultimately for so much more. The days ahead…

Week 51
continued from Week 50 There was much happening in our days. I was rising in the dark hours of the morning to meet with Jesus then head out for a jog, knowing my being out in this way served to be nourishment for me and upon my return I intended to nourish my three in…

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?

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,…
