Your verse resonates with such depth and beauty. What an encouraging reminder of His guiding presence in our lives. May His voice continue to lead us down paths of righteousness, and may His abundant blessings surround you today and always! 🌟
What a beautiful blessing you've written for this golden springtime day here on the Cape. I hope His guiding presence brings you peace and delight as we finish up April.
You’ve expressed my thoughts exactly, Linda: “God is still on the throne. He does all things well. He knows the end of the story. I trust His heart. And therein is the peace that passes all understanding.” Happy Easter, dear friend. ♥️
HOW do you always know??? I just asked myself out loud, "How does she know?" This is not the first time you have sent a reply through at JUST the right second in time. It's like you are up there, all those miles away, reading my mind. I could use extra prayer support, dear friend. Thank you for always listening to God's voice and minding Him when He nudges you.
This is a hard season for you. He knows every detail. And He will carry you through, friend. Just like He always has. And you will write and tell your story and others will be greatly encouraged. Just like you have so many times before.
It is such a hard season in so many ways. Thank you for this precious encouragement, and I look forward to the day I can write about it, in hopes that it will encourage another pilgrim who comes after me. You will never know how much your wise words meant to me. I received this a few days ago, and your words have blessed me ever since. I also grateful for you, friend.
YOUR words spoke grace to me, Linda, in that prayerful paragraph at the end of your post. Thank you! I pray you enjoy a very blessed Easter tomorrow, with heart-stirring worship at church and much love and laughter with family/friends afterward!
Once you are truly surrendered it's a 24/7 365 committment. Every day is Sabbath. As I grew and matured in the spirit I finally understood what praying without ceasing means.

Thanks for being here, friend.
I couldn't click on Lauren Muller's book piece fast enough. It was exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing.
I know, right? She's so wise.
Thank you for all the great reading links. I enjoyed them.
I'm so glad, Karen!
I loved the one about the books I'll never read. That resonated with me immensely.
Lauren is a terrific writer!
Me too!
She said it all so well, didn't she. I'm a fan.

God brings you to my heart and mind each day, friend. May the Spirit encourage you mightily this morning.
I absolutely love the verse you shared at the end. Yes! May we hear His voice telling us which way to go. And may He bless you richly today!
I'm guessing you're catching your breath this morning, friend. May His peace be with you as you process all that's come at you in recent days ...

All will be well. One hour at a time.

It was a weekend to remember. I'm sitting here soaking it all up, letting every last bit of it wash over me again.
Easter blessings dear Linda. 🙏
Casey, bless you, girl. So grateful God has allowed our paths to cross in this season!
Amen my new friend. 💕
great list. I read some new people today. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I'm so glad you could get to know some of my favorite writers, Jean!
May you have a blessed Easter, Linda!
Martha, you too, friend ...
He is risen, I am falling,
but, okay, those are the breaks
of my mercenary calling
and I will do just what it takes
to build a wall around my wife
of solid steel, ballistic lead,
that is sure to take the life
of those who'd kill her in her bed.
I can make no apologies
for my lethal intentions here.
I only can use qualities
God gave me and perhaps held dear
to protect and thereby serve
the love that I did not deserve.
May Easter's blessings wash over you and Barb and all the 4-footed creatures. He loves you so, Andrew ...
Love to you and yours, Linda.

No matter of the days ahead,
that hard I may be shoved,
however I am cut and bled,
I know that I am loved
by the One who has made me
to follow in His ways,
and by His Son from Galilee,
so I give thanks and praise
for the place I'm in today;
it's steel that sharpens steel,
and through this I have found the way
to know that which is real
and that to which my heart is bound:
it's God's love makes the world go 'round.
The 'mercenary calling' tag harks back to Housman, and has been the touchstone of my life.
These, in the days when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood, and the earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.
Blessings to you my friend on this very special and holy weekend!! May the love and joy of our Lord abound in you!!
Allison
And also with you and yours, Allison.
Happy Easter! He is definitely risen and regardless the stress and troubles of the day, He is our hope. xoxo
He is risen indeed. And we don't have to wait 'til Sunday morning to sing this glorious truth right out loud.

Amen. I heartily agree.
