Hungry

As I sit here in my quiet spot, listening to the rain falling softly outside my bedroom window, I hunger for more of Jesus. I struggle to stay focused on my Bible reading. My thoughts run astray on events of the past few days, concerns for the future. But I feel an intense desire for connection. I often try to quench that desire through Facebook, text messages, and TV. But what my heart really desires is a connection with the Lord.

Why am I so quick to seek connection everywhere except where it can truly be found? I think I'll just sit here and watch the curtains blow and listen to the rain. Feeling like the presence of the Lord is in the rain this morning.

Fair Trade Friday!

I got my Fair Trade Friday earrings today! I can't wait to read the story of Sabina, who made them! Heading to www.therefugeeproject.net now!

Get the Connection?

Last year's salsa is almost all gone! Hence the planting of this year's salsa seeds: tomatoes, peppers, onions, cilantro. This is my first year for starting plants from seeds. I'm praying for God's miraculous power to make these seeds grow--because I really don't know what I'm doing. Trying to follow the seed packet instructions, but I'm sure I'm missing some important details!

Planting time!

Who Am I?

I don't know about you, but I need to be reminded every now and then about who I am in Christ.

In the past 24 hours or so, I have ragged on myself. I have been so aggravated with myself for being absent-minded, ditzy, and even a failure at this Christian walk. But the Lord has led me to several articles (without my looking for them!) that continue to affirm that I am who God created me to be. Even when I stumble, even when I'm too timid to follow through with what God wants me to do, even when I doubt myself (therefore doubting God and His work in me) I am still His child, a light in the world, sealed by God, bought with a price, and on it goes. I found the text from this image at https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/the-christ-bell/, and I wanted to do something with it that I would like to hang in my office to constantly remind me of who I am in Christ!
