Listening for love.

Believing!
“A short-cut!” my husband exclaimed and off he traipsed across the lake-bed. I was a small distance behind and watched as he blazed a new trail only to end up thigh deep in mud!

Peace Be With You
Sometimes when I read a passage I can feel the Holy Spirit ask if I’d like to hang out a while. The invitation felt irresistible this morning as I read Jesus’ words, “ Peace be with you!”

Jesus Wept
I love that Jesus wept. Initially, I didn’t understand why Jesus wept for Lazarus when He must have known that He could raise Him from the dead!

What is God’s will for me? This is likely a familiar question for many of us who read this verse. In my work as a spiritual companion, I’ve sat with many people from age 9 to 90 who earnestly and sometimes, desperately, want to know God’s will — “Which, what and where, Lord? Help me to find and follow You.”
