Trust and peace

"If I call, will you come?
   When I cry, do you hear?
     I believe ev'ry tear is caught up by a faithful God.
       So, I will cry until You come, cast my cares into Your arms.
         I can't see past this storm, but I'm counting on a faithful God.

Faithful God, You hold my life secure and all my days are Yours.
I believe my God is like a fire defending me, faithfully.

I believe You still heal, and demons still bow.
  I'm convinced there is power in trusting in a faithful God.
    So, I will praise 'til You appear, and set Your foot upon this shore,
      And I declare that ev'ry foe is subject to my faithful God.

Faithful God, You hold my life secure and all my days are Yours.
I believe my God is like a fire defending me, faithfully.

I'm Yours and You are mine, and I am Yours, I am Yours!
And I know Your faithfulness, it will endure, it will endure!

Faithful God, You hold my life secure and all my days are Yours.
I believe my God is like a fire defending me, faithfully."

Holy Spirit, Jesus, Home, Abide

-
     A bide, remain, make yourself at home with God. These concepts have seemed so vague, so nebulous, so far out of reach or the realm of possibility that I, like so many, have passed over them, in despair that they will never be my reality. And, yet, there is this insatiable hunger, this insatiable hope that these things could be my reality. I feel like I was handed most, but not all of the puzzle pieces in my training of what a 'relationship' with God needs to look like for this to indeed be a reality for me.       The invitation of Jesus to abide, as it is found in John 15, was set in the context, in the sermons I heard growing up, of obedience. If I obey, then I can prove my love to Jesus. If I obey, then I have earned a spot at the Table. If I obey, then I have earned the privilege of abiding. I think I had it grossly backwards. We don't abide because we've obeyed. We obey because we are abiding.       This truth wasn't emphasized growing up, even going th

Waiting

     T hat moment when God pulls back the curtain of uncertainty and shows you truth. . . . .when God answers questions that have long run the track of your mind, questions that have caused heart angst and heaviness. . . . that moment when God shows you just the next step, after waiting long for it  . . . . that moment happened tonight. He pointed me in the direction I should go and told me to walk therein. He put some puzzle pieces in place and gave me peace about them, peace that is possible in the face of an uncertain tomorrow. He closed my heart to certain possibilities, showed me ones I still need to surrender to Him, and opened my heart to others - to waiting..      I think that waiting is the biggest puzzle piece He showed me tonight. It doesn't make sense that waiting can be something so definite and concrete, but it is. It's the next step, the next rock to leap to in the stream, the next pavement stone to tread on the path that leads to His front door. God doesn

Pieces of Home

    The Lord has me in the middle of moving yet again in this beautiful state of Colorado.  I have now moved as many times since coming to Colorado as I have over the course of my life before - 7 times before and 7 times since moving here = 14 times. (My sister calls me the Colorado nomad. I have to smile.)      I’m not sure why the Lord hasn’t allowed me to get too comfortable here. It is very unsettling to not have a place to plant your feet and say, “This is home.” I’ve learned to think, “This is home for now,” and just roll with it. (For some reason,  this last move has been so much harder on me than any of the previous moves and I can’t pinpoint exactly why.  I have struggled more with discouragement and a sense of not knowing where I belong, feeling lost and alone.)       In the middle of all of the moving, packing and unpacking, relocating and re-orienting, I realize that there a certain little things that help provide a sense of home and normalcy for me in the differen
