My Pastor Said, “Timing”.

No matter how Broken You Are, No matter how low you feel, No matter how blind you are, I promise The God of Heaven sees you. On the way home I was thinking about when the disciples asked Jesus why a certain man was blind. It was on my mind because of a conversation I …

Stormy Weather

When I was young, maybe 18, I stood on top of a hill in Manchester, MI, and watched a summer storm come in. I stood in the rain and wind until my aunt made me come into the house for threat of lightning. It was thrilling and scary. I felt so small And so ALIVE. …

River

The sunrise was soft this morning, providing a gentle light that didn't hurt the eyes as one drove toward the east. I generally take the road that allows my car to move in curvy swervey patterns since it follows the shoreline of the river. It's a peaceful commute that changes visually with every season and …

Feather Your Nest

"FEATHER YOUR NEST" Words I saw painted on an outside wall of a store in Dundee, MI. I thought about the words. A gentle command to turn your house into a cozy place. Not a showcase. Not a gigantic window display. But a home. So many thoughts filled my mind as I drove down country …

Seed time and Harvest, and Patience

When I feel impatient, I picture a person in the middle of a corn field with the stalks half-grown, Only waist high, And the person is Powerless, pouty, and selfish.

To have bowed the knee, Surrendered the soul, And said "Yes" when He called. There are dots on the timeline of my life when I searched for him. …

You Have Not Lived….

Until you've heard the words, "Mommmmm! Josiah put hair removal creme all over his hair!". Yes. You read that correctly. My ten year old son rubbed, not one, but two applications of hair removal creme into his beautiful sandy brown hair. When his sister got married, she and her bridesmaids were primping and beautifying every …

To The Man Who Loved Me To Christ

To the man who spoke to me about Jesus when I was so skeptical. The man who told me to read the book of John first. The man who sent me the handwritten letter  witnessing to me. The man who was standing behind me, whose face I saw when I stood up from the altar …

Snow. In March…

Here we are, March 26th. And it's snowing. I decided to stop by the river and capture something lovely on film to counter my displeasure with this cold weather, for if we want to, we can find something to be thankful for in every circumstance. Peace to you... Leah

Brought to Birth

For the second time now - I have experienced a very strong desire to sketch the human form. The first time I experienced this, I was given the opportunity to view the masculine body in repose - at rest. Beautiful in size, shape, form. Lines sculpted by the hand of God flowed from one sloping …
