Such beautiful thoughts, Sheri. I especially loved: “we can learn to leave darkness behind and walk in His radiance.” Let it be, Lord, let it be.

Thank you for the gift of observing spiritual truth in the ordinary everyday. What a lasting lesson; to perceive beyond what we can see. You continue to pour out, bless you. I’m no stranger to the mess, the offal of the sloppy years. When you are the generation to say, “Wait, isn’t there another way If it’s real, isn’t my faith supposed to change who I am#8221; The critical conscious is a familiar enemy. But moment by moment, relying upon the Almighty who said “Let there be light,” we can learn to leave darkness behind and walk in His radiance. Love to all your readers.

Thank you, Nikki. Yes, every time it floods here…I keep thinking about the power of being present to what IS, however beautiful or not-so-beautiful it is. 🙂

Yes! I’ve so missed your thoughts, Leah! Thank you for alerting us to the comments being down so long ago. Bizarre backend code glitch…thanks for returning.

Such a beautiful prayer for your family! Yes, I too want my children to have consistent memories of Mommy saying, “I made a mistake,” “I was wrong. Please forgive me” and “I need help.” May our examples give them a good dose of grace before the world’s unrealistic expectations weigh down upon them.

The image was strong for me too, Karla. In fact we just had another flood yesterday and all the stuff from upstream passed through our property onto some unsuspected soul further downstream from us… It’s a strong call to attend to all that is in our present to make the stream cleaner and clearer for those that follow.
