Waiting

ByShannon

I am in a comfortable space right now. It was our first full week without school or a bevy of commitments, and so the pace is slower, and I enjoyed the change.

I have noticed a lack of words in my prayers, journal and otherwise. It’s almost like I am at a loss, but not in a mournful way. There is some unfamiliar something humming in my soul right now, and when I reach for words, none of them fit. I am content in this season to just sit with the tension and discomfort within. When I heard this song, it resonated with my spirit, and so I’ll leave it here for you.

Each of these musicals is rich in scripture and…

    Hoo-boy! Right now, this is my favorite. I don’t have many more words tell you how music just takes everything that is rambling around in my brain and soul, and then packages the thoughts and feelings into an offering of thanksgiving, praise, and beautiful rejoicing. The beginning of this video has a beautiful background story…

  • Any more

    I tell my children, “There’s nothing you can do to make me love you any more or any less than I do right now.” I tell them what my Father has told me. Once He has brought us into His family, we are His. He is not looking for us to mess up so He…

  • Farther along

    I have been listening to Josh Garrels for years, and I really enjoy circling back to his older music. His music supports my deep thinking and I appreciate how he puts his lyrics together. I have been pondering lately how much effort I, as a sojourner, should put into being articulate among my fellow travelers,…
