About This Blog

Come peer through the lens of Sacred Writings and Scripture to know ourselves and be made whole. There is always medicine to apply in our lives: emotional, relational, social and spiritual. My prayer is that the words of the early church and scripture will inform our identity and bring us healing that equips us to know and serve God with all our hearts.

FALLING

Thursday, fourth week of Lent

I had a Godiva milk chocolate caramel bar yesterday- in three short bites I swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker: the sickening feeling of disappointment in one's self and the emptiness of craving what could not satisfy. I hadn't given up chocolate for Lent anyways, but I left the embrace of God's love and acceptance for the self punishment that accompanies over-indulgence.

The grace of nestling myself in God's care again was so healing, as if I had tried out my wings but they weren't strong enough, yet I wasn't allowed to fall too far. God's arms were underneath me. Could I trust mercy and allow Him to provide what my soul needed?

I wonder what you might be feeding your soul?

Medicine from Sacred Scripture:

"I am the Lord your God who brought you up out of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it." Psalm 81-10
