The Power of “Meanwhile”

On August 8, 2022   /   2020 Vision, All Posts, Barefoot in the Garden, Be Still, My Jesus, Wisdom of the Woods  

Many of us are also walking through “meanwhile” times… illnesses, broken relationships, disappointments, financial struggles, or other trials. Many of us feel we are in holding patterns, waiting for answers and breakthroughs. How tempting it is to feel sorry for ourselves, to blame God and give up. The enemy would have us believe that God is far away from us during times like this. The enemy whispers into our minds that God must not care about us to let us suffer so.

Don’t believe the lies.

God is always right there walking through it with us, ready to bless us despite the pain, if we will only trust Him.

Whatever difficult situation you are enduring, no matter what hardship is staring you in the face, rest assured that this is only a “meanwhile.” Believe that God is putting the pieces into place for miracles in your life as well… because He is!

Look Up!

On April 6, 2022   /   2020 Vision, All Posts, Be Still, Wisdom of the Woods  

A lot of us are so disheartened by things that are happening in our world today. We feel as if death is chasing us. We hear its big black wings flapping up behind us, gaining ground, overtaking us. We feel the coldness of its shadow blocking out the sun. We don’t realize that these difficult days are instead going to bring life, great awakening, and desperately needed spiritual revival in our lives. This is actually a most amazing time to be alive. Some of us are very excited about what God has already begun to do in our communities, our country, and our world. We see the shadows of revival beginning all around us. But many of us won’t recognize it until it soars out beyond us.

How silly I was to ever have misgivings about this property. How did I not instantly recognize how thoroughly it would grab my heart. I feel ashamed for doubting God. He forgives me… How He delighted to bring us here. He is smiling.

The Magic of the Forest

On December 27, 2020   /   All Posts, Be Still, Wisdom of the Woods  

I am mesmerized by the forest… by the intricacy of life in the woods. Every square millimeter teems with fantastic variety — mosses, insects, flowers, grasses, mushrooms, trees. Even the  rocks are filled with ever changing life. Only the most magnificent God could create all of this from nothing. Woods are my worship. And my worship is simply to be astounded at how awesome is our God.

Summer Hike

On September 9, 2020   /   All Posts, Be Still, Wisdom of the Woods  

After lunch we decide to take a photo walk through the conservation area next to our property. The walk there is a shadeless section of the old log road that runs by our cabin. It is a messy mix of sticky mud, hard red clay, large rocks, and huge gulleys where the rain has washed it away. The road is difficult to walk on; the gravel shifts and slides under our heavy muck boots.
