The Road Marked Remembrance

June 19, 2020

If there is anything the COVID-19 has given me, it’s been time. Its been altered – set down into a new place – life is not the same.

Having more time carries a huge weight of responsibility with it. I’ve been experiencing a load of guilt as I observe my neighbor take down a good acre of 60 foot alder trees and re-landscape his entire yard into a green grassy acre with mounded garden beds of lush flowerbeds, and even a waterfall feature, while the weeds in our garden are growing to unprecedented heights. I have more time, but what am I doing with it? [Read more…]

  Three Things That Matter

February 28, 2020

EVERY STEP MATTERS.

‘Every step matters’ is my mantra, or word(s), for 2020. I read those words in a Susie Larson book and it resonated head to toe –‘Yes!’. Those 3 words have revisited me – daily. They’re slowly embedding themselves into my thinking and I’m choosing to live like it. [Read more…]

Beware of Entertaining the Enemy with Just a Thought

January 23, 2020

There are some places we just shouldn’t go – it’s too dangerous.

I remember a visit I made to New York City, I spent my days walking and seeing sights in Manhattan, while my friend worked. I had a map – hand held, paper made, in the dinosaur years before cell phones – but, still, I was lost. I knew which direction I needed to go, but I wasn’t quite sure of my location. [Read more…]

Four Things I’m Learning about Myself in My Here & Now Spaces

July 19, 2018

I feel like I’m in a middle season of life and it hasn’t been what I’d expected.

I would have guessed this season would be like a quiet, still pond and I’d see myself clearly as I stared into the water’s reflections. Instead, I’ve felt like I am standing barefoot at the water’s edge with a rugged tide rolling in, causing the sand to shift and pull out from underneath me. Not. What. I. Expected.

C.S. Lewis say it best for me….‘Courage, dear heart’.

Learning requires great frustration. So, I guess I’m frustrated. Or learning. Or, just confused. [Read more…]

How Do I View Others – Looking Up – Looking Down – Or, Eye to Eye?

October 4, 2017

I am a tall woman, a full 5’10” to be exact. Life looks kind of different from up here.

Truly, your perspective on life is altered based on whether you look people eye to eye, or peer down at them from tall and lofty heights, or look at people from down below.

Height was not a physical attribute I delighted in growing up. When you’re the tallest person in your class in jr. high and high school, boy or girl, my height made me feel uncomfortable. Gawky. Which wasn’t helped by my excessively thin arms and legs. I might be the only person who lied and added weight for a high school sports team roster. [Read more…]

I live on an island, in the country. A sweet combination. I spend way too much time sitting on a ferry to get to the mainland and my people, thinking about how I should be weeding and pruning our 5 acres, or driving down country roads taking pictures. Nature grabs me – taking pictures delights me. I love to capture nature’s messiness – the wild wonder, the abundant extravagance of blurred green and blue landscapes. I write for similar reasons – to capture small glimpses of the wonders of God, to hold up God’s Word and see the beauty of His holiness. Small snapshots of His glory. I’m so glad you’re here.
