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.

FRAYED

I have been busy lately with all that  a mother of five is overwhelmed by: so many meals to make, calls to take, children to keep encouraging, disciplining, hollering at to have them do what needs to be done. I'm ragged around the edges and so I crawled to church one day and listened. I stopped the incessant clatter and chatter in my head about all the concerns I had. I wasn't prepared for what I received:

Stillness stuns me
as I enter
I have not
been here
for a very long time.
 
My life, my mind
have been busy
My heart burdened
and my sanctuary empty.
 
Still, You call
and I come
wrapped in
Divine silence
my soul finds rest
once more.

It's the end of school for so many, the crazy making time where all is blur and a rush- perhaps other things keep you from Him...I wonder if you have had time to know the peace in His presence?


Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
