One Word, 2012. Newer posts →. July 13, 2014 · 7:15 am. A Rare and Precious Gift. Nothing is more personal or intimate than listening. Matt Knisely, Framing Faith. A couple of years ago, my spunky, speaks-her-mind, mother-in-law sat at one end of our kitchen island talking football when our middle daughter and her friend walked in. Anna hugged her grandmother and introduced her friend, Anthony, a high school football wide receiver. Anthony, you’re not listening to me! Our longing to be heard. Bone of Ada...

Stories For the Journey. October 8, 2014. March 17, 2016. Two years ago my family, parents, brother and sister-in-law, nephew and niece, along with the ones who live in my house–the whole tribe made the drive to our current summer gathering place: Campfire Bay in Minnesota. That was the year that the Minnesota government shut down while it wrangled over the budget. Minnesota itself remained open, of course, but the interstate rest areas were closed. But sometimes I live like the rest areas are closed.

WhimsySmitten: Amber Waves of Grace
http://whimsysmitten.blogspot.com/2013/04/amber-waves-of-grace.html
Reflections on Authenticity, Faith, Family, Words, Wounds, and the Beautiful Mess of Grace. Site currently under construction. Grace for my mess? Monday, April 22, 2013. Amber Waves of Grace. I pack with anticipation. Dreams flood and fly and I reach for them, frantic and flailing. He has a dream for me, I know, but trying to capture it, narrow and clear, is trying to catch a river in a paper cup. We are giddy. Anticipation does that and so does the wine and the salted caramels, the high from our sti...

http://www.pohlkottepress.com/2012/01/practicing-art-of-being-still.html
We're all just walking each other home.". Wednesday, January 25, 2012. Practicing the Art of Being Still. I just got back from my soul quenching vacation. It was exactly what I was looking for in a week away. As is the case when you have a spare moment to catch your breath, I noticed some things about myself as well. The beauty of this trip wasn't just the landscape {although this right here? I'd make sure of that. I had to fight the urge to feel as though I had wasted time. And as we boarded the boa...

sixinthesticks: Join Me In Sending The Plague Back To Hell
http://sixinthehickorysticks.blogspot.com/2014/05/join-me-in-sending-plague-back-to-hell.html
31 Days of Fear. Join Me In Sending The Plague Back To Hell. N the golden bright sun, cross-legged on my porch swing, I read Ann Voskamp's post. On my phone, the swing lazily drifting back and forth. The words startled me. Because I thought I would read about girls from Nigeria. 234 girls still missing. Girls that were studying in a school to become doctors and lawyers in a place where getting an education can get you killed. I thought I'd read about these brave ones, these heroes. Are the ones blamed.

Just following Jesus in my real life...: My word for 2015...
http://www.justfollowingjesus.com/2014/12/my-word-for-2015.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. My word for 2015. It was the middle of June, only half way through the year of JOY. When God gave me my word for 2015. I had a bit of a struggle embracing it. It isn't a happy word like joy. 2014, while having its share of challenges, (we live in a sin tainted world after all, and perfection will never be our portion until Jesus returns), was heavy on the JOY. 6-12-14 is marked in the margin of my Amplified Bible next to Hebrews 10:35-36. Jumped out at me. Romans 5:3-4.

Created for Love: Letting Go
http://paulagamble.blogspot.com/2014/06/letting-go.html
8220;Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.” Brennan Manning. Saturday, June 14, 2014. It’s hard to just let you go, but the reality is that our relationship was never built on love and trust. I have tried my whole life to earn your love and approval, but you couldn’t give me something that you didn’t have. I forgive you for that. What Satan meant for evil, God works to good. There is always Hope to turn to God and I pray that you do.
