About This Blog

The butterfly picture in the upper left corner is a symbol and reminder for me of the spiritual process. Sometimes I am the caterpillar - barely able to see far enough in front of me to put one foot in front of the other. Sometimes I find myself in that dark place of the soul, and I remind myself that it is simply my cocoon. While all may seem dark, and I may feel like everything is totally disintegrating around me (and in me!) a miracle is at work in my life and I will soon be able to fly! I love those days where I experience the butterfly in my life! The ability to fly above all the mundane earthy matters and remember the truth and experience God's power in tangible ways in my life are wonderful times indeed that occur more and more often as I continue this journey! Thank you, God!

If you are so inclined, I invite you to journey with me as we seek the promised land together. While I hope to share some "faithbooking" (scrapbook pages or artistic journaling about my faith journey), much of the time the journey may well be seen in words, rather than pictures. I invite you to create your own pictures. How do these things play out in your life? I'd love to hear from you about your own spiritual journey!

Great Is Thy Faithfulness


I love the song "Great Is Thy Faithfulness".  I find it so encouraging.  But that encouragement was intensified to amazement when I realized where in the Bible that song's ideas were based!  

The sentiment expressed in this song comes from the book of Lamentations - which is mostly exactly what it's called.  The things Jeremiah describes having seen and faced were horrific, and his lament is not surprising.  What IS, perhaps, surprising are these words found right in the middle of his laments.  
"Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!' The Lord is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him." Lamentations 3:21-25
Father, no matter what I must face in my life, may I face it with the hope described in these verses!  May I remember the truth - "Great is Thy Faithfulness!".  Your compassions are new EVERY morning. Thank you, Father!  You are SO amazing, and I am grateful.
