From My Mountain View: My Priest
http://www.frommymountainview.com/2014/08/my-priest.html
August 25, 2014. I am grateful for the #shereadstruth. Ministry and community that provides a way for thousands of women to connect online through the study of God's Word. I have been LOVING the current study through the book of Hebrews, and look anxiously forward to digging deep into the next: a study in Hosea! A book in which I confess to never reading more than whatever verses a preacher was quoting from in a message. Eek! Hebrews is dense and complex and rich with the gospel." #shereadstruth. The way...

Love Is A Verb: The Miracle of Meeting my Neighbors
http://isaverb.blogspot.com/2015/06/not-so-hard.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. The Miracle of Meeting my Neighbors. How can we find any space for another task? The last thing we want to encounter is another "to-do" for us to fill when our own needs are pretty over-powering. The truth is, when we take the time and energy to reach out to people, God uses the seeds we sow to grow something beautiful for US, and very often fill a need in our own lives. We sometimes forget that God asks us to bless others - not only for them, but often, its more for us. In the ...

Love Is A Verb: April 2011
http://isaverb.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 22, 2011. A Scripture comes to mind that describes this new season of my life;. Revelation 12:11 "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.". I'm the same as you - I've had devastating tragedies happen, deep betrayals, and beautiful triumphs. The one thing that always stands out and has gotten me through the rough times is The Blood of the Lamb. This is a big lesson on my journey toward...

Love Is A Verb: April 2012
http://isaverb.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 21, 2012. Are you strong enough, my friend? It took some strength to not get frustrated. Just moments before the drive home, we were at the library and I heard a conversation between 2 kids. One did something the other didn't like, and the first kid called her a not-so-nice name. What struck me funny was the response.which is so typical both in kid land, AND with us "mature adults".she said, "Don't call me names, or I'LL call YOU names." It really made me think. Those of us who are strong...

Love Is A Verb: Neighbor Gifts
http://isaverb.blogspot.com/p/neighbor-gifts.html
We hear all the time. How important it is to "Love your Neighbor" but the question that is always raised is HOW? Especially while trying to balance our already busy life. Do you awkwardly walk up their path to the door and knock? What do you say? This is especially hard if you're not outgoing by nature. So we created a tool to help break the ice. Here's the story of it's inspiration. Maxine stuck by my mom's side through all the sickness, heartbreaks, joys and laughter over many years. When we have jobs,...

Love Is A Verb: September 2012
http://isaverb.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 8, 2012. 1 key to COMMUNITY. Where do you find one? We've moved a lot, but. I’m pretty social so I fairly easily surround myself with a community. I know. There are those people who are more withdrawn, not the “outgoing” type – or even those who have been wounded by people, so they build a wall around themselves (but then are bitter because they feel so alone). I get asked all the time. HOW do they find a community of friends, help, coffee talk? I could give all my. Really think about...

From My Mountain View: Seasons of Soul in Transition - Moms Against Manic Mondays
http://www.frommymountainview.com/2014/06/mamm-06-09-14.html
June 9, 2014. Seasons of Soul in Transition - Moms Against Manic Mondays. Eels like Spring in my soul here lately. A crocus would bloom here in there as the early signs of the changing season, but then winter would hold on (like it usually does, doesn't it friends? In those moments of hope for Spring drenched by winter again. We must reject the wrong belief that that. What did I do wrong? Have done something wrong. I must not be trusting you enough. I'll never get out of this winter." {these ...Further i...

Monday, October 29, 2012. Lessons from the Tortoise. I know in scripture God has used a donkey to get a message through to His people.well in my case He used our baby redfoot tortoise named Strawberry. I've been pondering lately - the notion of not being too busy, but I'm realizing it's something we have to actively fight against. We seem to wear it as a badge of honor.regularly, conversations start, "How are you? And the standard reply, "Oh, we're busy! I grabbed a beach towel, put her in the grass and ...
