Adorned
Adorned. Bride. Beauty. Robed. Forgiven. Realized.* The work of Your hand and Your love are deep and life-engaging. Creating-anew life from the places it simply didn’t exist before. But not just any life. Adorned. Ornamented with color and beauty that is vibrant and reflective of something truly alive. Jewels of joy & grace & peace … Continue reading

From the bench
Broken. My heart is broken this morning. It’s a good place, because there are some things on my heart that simply need Your removal. You are so faithful. Even a simple truth is too much for me to bear all at once – so You deliver it slowly… You’ve already revealed that I have spent … Continue reading
