When I Am Weak…

Rachel — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:34:41 +0000

When I am weak…you are strong. As my self-sufficiency crumbles, I daily begin from a simple place in my mind and heart. I don’t want to face this day without you, LORD. In my heart, I am tender. As I prayed with my husband last night, I was struck with … Continue reading →

Still and Quiet Spirit

Rachel — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 11:23:26 +0000

I feel very still and quiet today. No questions lurking- as they pop up in my mind- I push them away. I don’t know the answer. Where the path lies. And I recognize the crossroads here. Following the path of the past- fix it, manage it, quickly. Don’t admit that … Continue reading →

I know the year is already well under way, but I didn’t want to choose a word for this year until I was sure what God was telling me that word should be. Yielding has been on my mind a lot. I have been spending a significant amount of time … Continue reading →

When Suffering Gets Personal

Rachel — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 19:09:13 +0000

It is so much easier to talk about suffering or trials “in theory.” This week it got personal for us. And all those Scripture passages that I have read before and secretly hoped to never have to experience… And yet…I am finding myself surprised by joy. Joy? Yes, I said … Continue reading →

Prayer to Fight On

Rachel — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:49:21 +0000

Lord, when I fall… yes, even now Lord I need your grace- for it is not IF but WHEN. Daily I need you. When I fall, my faithful Lord and Savior- transform my reaction. Help me to seek you instead of berating myself. I see underneath these negative thoughts in … Continue reading →
