O Yahweh, our Adonay, how majestic is your name throughout the earth! Your glory is sung above the heavens. (v.1) I wish you could see what I see; the lens does not give proper justice to the beauty. The beauty of spring, watching the trees stretch and yawn, waking from the long sleep of winter. […]

Psalm 3: A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. O Lord, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. Many are saying of my soul, “There is no deliverance for him in God.” Selah. But You, O Lord, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One […]

The words in this song stay with me: "Sometimes, I don't know what You're doing, but I know who You are."
When we can't understand the reasons, we choose to trust His love and His goodness, His wisdom and His grace. We choose to trust Him.
One of my favorite scriptures to remember when I am in need of hope is from Isaiah 40, when Isaiah says that God 'tends His flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart.'

I think it's one of the best descriptions of the Father that I've ever heard. He is my Great Holder.
I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
~Isaiah 46:4
Trusting in Him,
