Posted in Journey, Longing, Love, Mystery, Prayer, Restoration, Salvation, Wonder, tagged , , , , , on November 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I’m ready, God, so ready,
ready from head to toe.
Ready to sing,
ready to raise a God-song:
“Wake up, soul! Wake, lute!
Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!”
-Psalm 108:1-2, The Message
“I will awaken the dawn.”
- Psalm 108:2, NASB
I am this morning journaling my soul awake. This is my song; my pen my bow, the empty page my instrument. [...]

Fall has come to the Midwest. I mean Fall. The things we fondly think of when we dream of the hot, dry days of summer transitioning over to the cool, colorful, lively shorter days of autumn: holiday plans, folks carving pumpkins and making hot apple cider, talk of what the winter might hold [...]

Over the course of the last couple of weeks, God has given me the opportunity to immerse myself in his Word for hours at a time. I discovered through it all that the Lord God was leading and speaking to me (wonder of wonders!). I left the coffee shop where I spent much [...]
