Darkness. Divinity hidden from sight and scrutiny. God’s purposes and plan unfolding in secrecy. A spiritual war waging out of sight and comprehension. God’s salvation plan birthed in eternity gestating here now, in human time, patiently waiting for its revelation. Darkness. Disciples in utter despair and defeat, veiled in the confusion and grief of shattered …

The unexpected…and God’s unusual way make room for it
How to expect the unexpected. To become comfortable with being unprepared. To let go of what is reasonable, reassuring, responsible. God is Masterful at lovingly pointing out those things we need yet to take care of. It has been said that “God loves us the way we are…but He will not leave us that way.” …

Is my focus skewed in the question…Where were You when….God?
Where were You when….?? John 11:1-44 The Story of Lazarus Where were You when we called Lord, Why did You not respond? I waited…and I waited…. But still You did not come. I have had some deeply personal and heart-breaking conversations of late. Those that have no reason…no wisdom…no answers. You know the ones. Where …

Father God…Untangling personal perceptions to reveal a greater truth…
How do I untangle my personal perceptions of my experience of fatherly love to engage fully in the love of God portrayed as “My Father” in Heaven? In a recent prayer time, God encouraged me to take a deeper delve into aspects of His Nature…to explore just one at a time. It was after the …

Can I Trust The Process of Surrendering All?…a Divine Perspective
Look around you. Look at all I have created. In the stillness of the morning… one lone daffodil stands in the lawn…. How did it get there? It did not just appear from nowhere but was planted as a bulb…a non-descript bulb. But in that “seed,” though dormant in hand, once placed in the warmth …

Confession- The Power Of Words 🙏 🤐
There is a song by Rag’n’Bone Man called “Human.” I thought of this song today as the lyrics are “I’m only human after all, so don’t put your blame on me.” A great sentiment to excuse accountability for the things I let come out of my mouth. The bible says in Proverbs 18:21 “Death and …
Wisdom as My Sister
I must confess, what began as a passionate zeal to follow through with the Proverbs prayers while the Wisdom Challenge was in progress throughout the month of January, has become a more disciplined task as I follow through on my commitment to work through the whole book of Proverbs. There has been a valid reason …
Dare to Dive Deeper…and Bring a Snorkel
This is a break from my usual blogging. I just want to put this out there because it was so profound…I am still in awe! Recently, I watched a documentary released in 2020 by Craig Foster, a filmmaker who tells his story of an encounter with an octopus on his daily snorkelling in the kelp …
Wisdom as Guidance
Proverbs Chapter 6 I am privileged to use the words of Brian Simmons’s introduction to the purpose of the book of Proverbs. He says, “Within this divinely anointed compilation of Proverbs there is a deep well of wisdom to reign in our lives and to succeed in our destiny.’ This “wisdom that God has designed …
Listening to Wisdom
I wrote my initial response prayer for Proverbs Chapter 5 during the Wisdom Challenge in January. Now as I come to submit the chapter to my blog and reread my musings, I discover how God is using this process to highlight things in my life that require me to reassess my thinking, return to the …
