I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. ManyContinue reading “Affirmed in the Waiting”

Very Present Help
“When peace like a river, attendeth my way. When sorrows like sea billows roll”1 Times of being in a valley are not the ones that we readily and openly share.

God is our Refuge
Depleted. Crushing weight. Fearful. Had enough of it all. The highest highs and the lowest lows. These were all used in conversations I had this past week with some of the dearest people I know. Some statements were specific to circumstances, some were an overall feeling. I sat in these feelings with my loved ones,Continue reading “God is our Refuge”
