31 Days of {re}building family. Grief & Healing. 31 Days Braving the Broken. Knowing what God has Promised (and what He hasn’t). I had today all planned out. With a full day, I got up early, packed the van with everything needed, woke up the kids to dress, grabbed breakfast and headed out the door on time. Woop! The day was starting great. We had to be downtown early for Zach to take a 3-hour test and then drive him out of town for his team’s football camp that also started this morning. Oh, Sweet Pete’s.

Messy Christmas, Everyone! – Life in the Spacious Place
https://lifeinthespaciousplace.wordpress.com/2016/12/21/messy-christmas-everyone
Life in the Spacious Place. Speaking truth, sharing hope. December 21, 2016. December 22, 2016. Messy Christmas, Everyone! No, the title is not a typo! I mean, of course I do wish you a merry Christmas, but I think the reality is that often it can also be messy. It can seem that everyone else has it together- when we see the photos on social media or read the Christmas newsletters from the “perfect family”- but often these can be misleading. The kitchen honestly looked like a flour bomb had just gone off!

The One Thing We Need Most In Times Like These - Lisa Murray
http://lisamurrayonline.com/2016/09/the-one-thing-we-need-most-in-times-like-these
Peace for a lifetime. The One Thing We Need Most In Times Like These. September 6, 2016. I’ve been stressed lately. Really stressed. The air around me feels tense, the ground uneven, the future highly uncertain. Watching the news can send my blood pressure skyrocketing. I find myself seeking respite in. Little House On The Prairie. Reruns just to take my mind off of everything that is swirling around me. Where can we turn to find relief? I don’t know. What I do know is that I cannot live in this kind...

Thoughts and prayers for the One who created us. Because of their lack of faith in God’s ways, they would end up in the hands of their enemies. What does that have to do with us today? We complain that we don’t hear from God. We think God has forsaken us. Yet we are oppressed by the very idols we worship. What is it that I am following after? Am I following God? What are some idols I have had in my life? A question for thought. It’s addicting. Need I say more? Like Eve, I have bitten into the fruit so I ...

The Power of Rest - Becky Keife

31 Days to Awaken to Wonder. The Power of Rest. August 15, 2015. What if you just rested? What if you closed the computer and powered down the phone? What if you turned off the music or the podcast or the great preacher on TV? What if you put away the iPad and hid the remote control? What if you didn’t post, tweet, share, favorite, comment, like, or link up? What if you exchanged the noise out, noise in, for quiet? What if you just stopped? Would the world whiz on without you? Plug into living present?

http://creeksideministries.blogspot.com/2015/07/in-memory-of-john-halliday-blackie.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. In Memory of John Halliday Blackie. It is with greatest sorrow that I share the news that the day after we moved here to Cape Cod, my beloved Dad died suddenly, quickly, peacefully. We are crushed. Tim and I were so looking forward to this season of doing life with him and my mom. But even in the midst of the shock and the whirlwind of decisions and phone calls and planning is that ever-present peace that passes understanding. Please, my friends, pray for our family. You still priz...
