We won!

 

I am musing about how....


We won!

Inauguration Day 2021.

Take a deep breath. Breathe a prayer. Dig Deep. And rejoice!

No matter what your political perspective, no matter how you voted last November, no matter what your personal desires, concerns, global and national dreams .....

If you are God's child, if you trust in Him, if you sincerely prayed for His will to be done....

It was! Rejoice. You got your way! God's will was done. And will continue to be.

His Holy Word states that "He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding."  Daniel 2:21

We do not know what is happening "behind the scenes", but we trust in the one who does. The one who is actually orchestrating all things. For His purposes and ultimately for His glory.

So as a new era dawns, a new chapter opens, let us fortify and walk into it. 

Knowing He walks with us. Let us be his hands and feet. His mouthpiece.

As the world grows darker, the light of His love can shine brighter.

Let's encourage one another. Let us pray. Let us pray, (and again...let us pray)! Let us look for the good. Let us be willing to call out the concerning (with grace and peace). Let us be willing to learn, willing to be stretched, willing to grow. Let us learn more empathy. Let us not be deceived. Let us rejoice!

I would encourage you to take a listen to this short and encouraging video clip of Billy Graham (search "Billy Graham God is still on the throne")

Thank you Jesus for Victory in you!

Thank You and God Bless!!

  Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...

Misunderstanding Understanding

  I am musing about...  Misunderstanding Understanding (the understanding of misunderstanding :) ) We all have been involved in misunderstandings; in being misunderstood. It is logical to see how this can happen. We all look at situations according to our  own "story", our personal experiences and our own  interpretation of life. There are times we say something, and it is simply taken "the wrong way". There are times someone says something to us, and we take it "the wrong way". The sad thing is when this misunderstanding goes uncorrected; when it influences behavior, emotions and relationships. That is why good communication is so important. That is why prayer is so needful. Do we pray that God will guide our words and conversations? Do we pray that God will prepare the hearts of those we may plan to speak with regarding a somewhat deep situation? But then there are those spontaneous, if you will, interactions. Those supposedly harmless statements that so...

A Dream

I am musing.... about a famous dream. Oh this world we live in. How quickly we turned a corner. (albeit, one we have turned before). After being inundated day after day with news and talk of Covid...our country and the news is now caught up with destruction, riots and unrest. A black man was killed by a merciless cop. And anarchy was thrown into our country's pot...stirred by racial tension, unrest, anger and lack of constraint. Wrong was committed. Yes, once again. Our black fellow citizens come from, as they say in the adoption world...very "hard places." Consider their roots, their legacy of slavery and oppression. Our country was built in a large part on the shoulders of black slaves. While the white population was able to take advantage of the great American dream...to enter the race for equity and business, to establish venture capital or join the quest west for land, gold and fortune, the black populace remained oppressed, uneducated and unabl...
