I've been reflecting on the heart and character of God, one attribute at a time. He gave me a new song months ago, more of an anthem maybe, that declares He is the Father who hears, sees, knows, cares, heals and loves. It's really repetitive but it usually comes to mind when there's an instrumental … Continue reading The Father Who Sees

To learn more about His character. To get to know Him better. I've been reading this week about the life of … Continue reading The Father Who Hears

Today was a stormy day for me, in more ways than one. Literal, figurative, emotional, mental, physical, spiritual... lots of storms. I spent the afternoon in a waiting room, surrounded by severe thunderstorm watches and warnings. In an effort to be prepared, I was completely panicked instead. And so, I began to fix my eyes … Continue reading Peace Over Panic
