It’s been a bit, but I’m still here. Life has gotten really odd ( for most of us I guess that’s true!) And so it seems that my life is going to be a bit different over the next few weeks as I help my children learn from home, keep the home running smoothly, acquire our family needs, and provide needs for others in our community. This is a unbelievable time, but I pray that the Lord might work deeply in me, my family, my church, and throughout the world.

I’ve been spending my mornings seeking God before the day starts. These wors came to me today as I finished praying. I hope they encourage you:

Still

Still the thoughts that crowd your mind,

The craving to figure everything out.

Still the feelings of despair,

When chaos makes you want to shout.

Still your restless frame,

That thinks “busy” is the way to win.

Still the words that sting and hurt,

Trying to box another in.

Stand still amid this space in time.

Don’t move. Don’t speak. Don’t act.

In this moment when you think you’ve failed, look up.

The LORD is still working in fact.
