We have a new guest today. Dulce has written a beautiful prayer picture using imagery from Psalm 23. In the Presence of My Enemies by Dulce de Leche (Reprinted with permission) So far, the best solution I have found for pregnancy insomnia is to meditate on Scripture and pray. After all, it put even the disciples… Continue reading IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES

ASK
Cherry Warrick writes as Pursuing Heart and is our guest blogger today. We have reprinted this post from February with her permission. Ask by Cherry Warrick When in need of wisdom, ask. It’s as simple as that. But how often we miss the obvious. “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will… Continue reading ASK
STRETCHING
Stretching I have had back problems in my past and I have learned that stretching is very good to keep those back muscles strong. The same goes for my mind. As I age I want to make sure that I keep as sharp as possible. To that end I try many tactics. I have learned… Continue reading STRETCHING
PRAYING GOD’S PROMISES
Praying God’s Promises by Jan Cox One of the exercises I did before heading on my mission trip to Poland this summer was to read and write out God’s promises. From a list of over 80 Scriptures I looked up and copied each one. It turned out to be a powerful experience. As I wrote… Continue reading PRAYING GOD’S PROMISES

FIRST
First After I wrote Wandering for Tuesday, the words of my own blog started to work in me. The Scripture, “looking away from all that will distract you” rumbled around in my mind and soul. Then I read another post at (in)courage called “How can I grow closer to God”. This is the paragraph that… Continue reading FIRST
WANDERING
Wandering I read a post yesterday about a mother who had lost her child – for a few minutes – and the sheer terror and panic she felt in that time. She compared that search to Jesus’ parable of the lost sheep. (Gypsy Mama, {One of} the Things Parents Fear the Most) “Then Jesus told… Continue reading WANDERING
Jesus is the way – So Pray
Jesus is the Way – So Pray “Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He Himself is the Way.” Karl Barth, Swiss Protestant theologian of the 20th C. In my last post I talked about being overwhelmed. Certainly it is easy to get so involved… Continue reading Jesus is the way – So Pray
