Taking her by the hand He said to her, “Talitha cumi,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.” – Mark 6:41 In my Word today, this passage was last to land, and it landed hard. I’m processing how it makes me feel, such a mixture and lacking clarity. Even so it feels personal; […]
Sufficient
Sufficient. It seems to hold a negative connotation and even so, some days I don’t feel even that. I don’t feel like I can sufficiently explain myself. I don’t think I can sufficiently do my job. I don’t think I can sufficiently be in healthy relationships. And my personal favorite: I’m not sufficient to do […]
Keep showing up.
I’m sure this isn’t the first blossom in the county this spring. But it MY first blossom, and it feels like it’s been a while. She might be one of the older trees in the orchard. She might not be the prettiest, might’ve been around the block and back, weathered many storms, and seen some […]
Words
The Sovereign LORD has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears; I have not been rebellious, I have not turned away. Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not […]
What I know > What I don’t know
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect -1 Peter 3:15 I think sometimes, especially Christians, think that we need to know all the answers. That […]
Affirmations
This may come as a surprise…but sometimes I question myself. I know. It’s crazy but it’s true. 😉 I can’t tell you how often I ask my Father to show me the parts of myself He wants to refine and the parts He’d like to grow. I ask that anything hindering my vision be cleared […]
Distorted View
I unwillingly woke around 6a this morning, and began my morning rituals. If I’m completely honest, I may not like the early hour but I LOVE the gradual clarity that comes over previously darkened and indistinct forms. The peace of it, the anticipation for what the day could bring, the hope…before the anxieties of the […]
Daily Miracles
Purpose. We all have one and lately I’ve been feeling like I’ll never identify or accomplish mine. But God. I woke this morning and dove into my routine per usual, including my daily prayer walking. I was praying pretty diligently this AM that no matter what happens in my life, that I be used. I […]
“You did that”
I recently vacationed with my sister on a tropical island. It was beautiful, and we loved the time together, but she still knew I was struggling. Struggling to understand the confusion that seems to surround my life and purpose…I mean, I know I have one, believe we all do. But since Covid’s isolation, I struggle […]
What’s your Isaac?
I feel like God has made me a lot of promises. No, not like “Hey Sarah, here’s what I have for you” but impressions regarding my life and purpose that I’ve been so sure He’s wanted for me, and appear to be just out of reach. As I pray, the Father brought to mind Abraham and Isaac […]
