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!

Hand Holding


Yesterday as I was re-reading in Psalms 37, verses 23 & 24 jumped out at me.  I was reading in the NASB which says
"The steps of a man are established by the Lord, And He delights in his way.  When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the Lord is the One who holds his hand."
What a promise!  And what a mental picture!  I can remember walking with a young child's hand in mine and holding her up when she started to stumble.  This is what God wants to do for us!  And yet, I also remember trying to hold a child's hand when they did not want their hand held.  Father, may this never be me!  I choose, Father, to put my hand in yours and let you lead me and keep me from falling.  
"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, . . . " Jude 1:24 NASB
Father, I praise you for your loving care and your strength!  Please keep me from stumbling and bring me to stand in your presence as promised - blameless and with great joy thanks to Jesus' sacrifice on my behalf.  I am SO grateful, Father!
