Endless Lack or Holy Fullness, Part 2

This post is not one of my normal writings. This last week has been extremely rough, with trials knocking me flat. And yet, this week has been one of the most beautiful times for me, as moments of GRACE from the hand of my Jesus have slipped in around me all unaware. And I would … Continue reading Endless Lack or Holy Fullness, Part 2 →

The miracles rise Ever slowly to our eyes Hidden comes alive. . . Resurrection Morn Sunrise filters glowingly Life has burst its chains –bg . . Join me at the blog this week for "The Miracle of Mystery" and see the glowing surprise that God had planned for many years. . . And click thru for the link to the 2nd episode of #Treasuresfromthesands In today's Podcast my dear friend @Annalouisesmit and I share about hidden treasures of pure gold uncovered in the waiting, when the miracle doesn't happen the way we expected. #chronicillness #rheumatoidarthritis #suffering #fibromyalgia #osteoporosis #fear #shame #waiting #miracles #haiku #poetry

Can you see the small white blooms? They are the flowers of the Bloodroot plant, some of the first spring bloomers. The name comes from the sap in the roots, blood red when crushed. . . And the sign of the Cross, the blood of Jesus shed for New Life, awakens my heart to His Love. Here in my small plot of woods, He shows me true Hope. . . #bloodofjesus #shedforme #whatasacrifice #Hesavedmylife #Maundythursday #Goodfriday #Resurrectionsunday #bloodroot #haiku #treasuresfromthesands

In this place of waiting, In these days of God’s own leading, In this season when pain tries to direct, My Lord has asked me to look up, and to remember. . . Open wide your mouth and I will fill it. Psalm 81:10. . . Join me at the blog (link in profile) for a brave step God asked me to share. His ways are so much higher than ours! He finds ways to bring such hope to our hearts. #Rheumatoidarthritis #chronicpain #hope #songsofhope #neverstoppraying #treasuresfromthesands

Last night's appointment with my Rheumatologist was difficult. But what a blessing waited for me in the mailbox when I arrived home. . . Jesus helped me speak the truth of how I had been mistreated. Although the Doctor did not listen, the Lord encouraged me that I had obeyed HIM, by not minimizing my own symptoms. . . Thank you @gaylwright for the beautiful card and reminder that God's love covers all. . . And yes, the Lord has released me to look for a new Rheumatologist. #RAinfusions #Rheumatoidarthritis #Godistrustworthy #Jesusismygreatphysician #truth #nomoreminimizing #shinethelight

“Stay with Me here.” I heard the words chasing me down the path I had tried to follow . . . I saw the chores piled up. I heard the clock ticking my heart matched its tick-tocking rhythm . . . Just give me a minute. I heard the bells warning sounding in that moment before I stumbled . . . Still the words came “Stay with Me here” . . . “I would rather not.” I heard my words stiffly scruffling and scratching from wistful gazings unfurled . . . But the path was halted. And I heard only silence when my pain engulfed a world spinning in fog . . . Ugly words found voice. I heard their screaming within to join their running to race to an awful end . . . But HIS hands held me fast. I heard my voice urging outside of the fray “Jesus, come save me!” . . . “Stay with Me here” I heard His voice wooing His staying became mine His heart woven over . . . His love for me now Stay with me here. –bg . . #poetry given after weeks of hard side effects and another failed medication. Join me at my blog (link in profile) to find where Jesus met me in the midst. . . #Hepreserves #Rheumatoidarthritis #RAINFUSIONS #overwhelm #forgiveness #chronicillness #treasuresfromthesands #Jesusismygreatphysician

#aprilgluebookparty prompt #1: "What is my heart whispering to me?"... . .
