Good morning... Scripture verses have been merging together for me this week, helping to shed God's light on the dark, unknown path before opening before us, a winding road none of us have ever traveled before. We must allow God to go before us if we are to walk in the ways of the LORD all the days [...]
Good morning... "...circumstances in life can shift in the blink of an eye," said the book quote my friend texted me. "Just like that, the forces in life can shift us from rich to poor, from poor to rich, from married to single, from sad to happy, from imprisoned to free, from calm to chaos. Again and again [...]
Good morning... I wake early with a song on my heart. Hearing it on the radio one day this week, I thought, "I should check out that music video." Then I promptly forgot to follow through on the nudge. Right now, the Holy Spirit reminds me again of my earlier urge, so I search for and savor the [...]
Good morning... "How has your day been?" she texted me on Saturday. "Special. Really special," I replied. "I spent the day copying notes from the final prayer journals of my friend Julie Harlan. I enjoy learning the deep roots beneath Julie's Dream, the non-profit started in her honor. She is all about authentic relationship, about getting kids outside [...]
Good morning... "I love love love this photo and the joy and peace it pours into the dreams gestating in our hearts," I texted the artist, my dear friend Corinne Adams. "I am spending the morning meandering through Julie Harlan's prayer journals, discerning in more detail the root system beneath Julie's Dream." "It's a dream scape, indeed," Corinne [...]
Good morning... "Thinking of you," she emailed me this amazing music video. Now I think of each one of you this summer Sabbath morn, as we celebrate together the faithfulness of our God. I remember well all my troubles, and I am very sad. But then I think about this, and I have hope: We are still alive [...]
Good morning... Above the upside down photo dumping out all of my dreams hangs a Corinne Adams original. For Corinne, for you and for me, God is the ultimate Dream-giver. The LORD's higher, healing ways generously overflow into our ordinary lives. This is how the Bible explains God's life-giving process. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, [...]
Good morning... Last night we experienced a feast of friendship as over twenty women in our Atlanta community gathered together, deepening down into the healthy root system connecting Bankhead and Buckhead. Women, older and younger. Skin, darker and lighter. People, barely surviving and ultimately thriving. Enjoying fun foods and delicious drinks, we shared stories of great struggle and [...]
Good morning... Shared in a recent blog post, many of you love this Goodwill photo I decided to hang upside down on our wall. Symbolically, I thought I had emptied out every dream from this photo - dreams for the hungry children we have met on mission trips over the years, dreams for our four kids, our kids' [...]
Good morning... "Hey mom, I'll be home for lunch," our youngest daughter said over the phone. "Can we talk about how we might use your blog to promote a project I am helping with at work?" "Of course," my momma heart was delighted to hear the ideas on her mind. Working as a paid intern for this summer [...]
