The title of my new venture (this series) is “Findings.” I thought it would be appropriate to start by mentioning how I arrived at that particular word to use as the series name, it did involve a bit of soul searching. I thought of my life and the paths I have taken; the good influences [...]

The date? December 7th, 2011. The arena? A living room, toy-strewn and holiday-festive. In one corner, we have a brand-new nine foot, pre-lit, fully decorated Christmas tree. Weakness? Bulbs burning hot and entire strands going kaput overnight. In the other corner, straight out of Christmas-planning-frenzy, a five foot four inch mother of three with a [...]

It is fresh morning and I wait the time of meeting. My coffee is hot and tasty; steam rises in slow coils drifting into the warm atmosphere. These are moments of expectation as I gather my Bible. I pray for God to capture my mind - He always owns my heart - and to fill it with His will for this day.
The pages are sweet on my fingertips and turning them is an eager caress as I delve into the Word. There is no pressure to hurry, to rush ahead and scan the final chapters; I know the end of the story. I can peruse, re-read, and enjoy each truth as I find it once again. When God speaks a special thought from His Word straight to my heart, I know I have been well fed.
"Thank you Father for holy words, live words, and Your words spoken through Your Son that lead me in true surrender and desire for Your eternal Lordship over my life."
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord… Jeremiah 29:11
Sweet Words for my day,
Rhea
