I was on the couch with Josh the other night when it happened. Out of nowhere, a memory began to play untriggered, like the movie reel we were sitting there watching. And the words started spilling out of me. So much so that I was suddenly bored with the movie and went upstairs to scribble...
I’m trying something a little new. A little different. I know the power of listening to spoken word in the background while you’re working. Or cooking. Or doing whatever else it is that requires some multi-tasking. The other morning, I was reading in 1 Chronicles 14. About the men that came alongside David and represented...
I was in Georgia last month for the annual Pursuit Community conference. It’s the third year that I’ve spoken, but I’ve never written a recap. Because I never really know what to say. Last year, the theme was hope. I spoke on the very last night. And wept my way through it. On stage. In...
This weekend. It was the best kind of weekend. Camping and fellowshipping. Swimming in sacred pools, jumping off rocks, and sliding down natural slides. Talking and laughing and getting caught in tropical rainstorms and eating plate lunches from roadside trucks. We drove home wet. And grimy. What we lacked in sleep, we made up for...
Glory to God! As I read your words this morning, I’m grateful that the promises of God are yes and amen! So, I say “Lord, let it be to me according to Your Word.” And I stand patiently waiting to see His glory poured out again and again. Thank you Jane for your words of faith!!
Thank you for sharing a very raw time of your life. I think we all face and hold our breath over some personal fears. Thank God that He sees past all that and into our troubled yet beautiful hearts.
The words “…after the trials…He gives us rest.” This gives me encouragement today. Thank you for your beautiful words and for sharing them. ~e~
Thank you for your BEAUTIFUL message this morning. My family is in the waiting and hoping season for a different sort of miracle. Our son had a VNS implant for seizures on 12/30. It will be activated on 1/22/20. Praying for a journey of healing from seizures.
God spoke to me through your words, thank you so so much for obeying Him and writing them. I am in a season of waiting for miracles and He has spoke to me to trust and believe Him. It seems so simple but it can be the hardest.
Needed this this morning , Jane. Thank you! Waiting on my miracle because it is in Him I move, and live and breathe.
I was just wandering around the mall, askinging God for help. Telling Him how much I need Him and how hard it is to continue to believe for our baby after so much heartache – so many bad test results. I sat down in one of those massage chairs (it’s early/empty enough to make it less weird) and opened up my email, which is special because emails aren’t my go-to in my down time and there was this one from you, Jane. I’m most likely not the only person who needed to read these words but I’m definitely one of them. Being guided to this post is a sweet reminder of all how our sweet Lord is truly in all the details. Thank you so much for so beautifully sharing your testimony of God’s promises… it was exactly the help that I needed today.
Wow! As always Jane, you provide the words my Spirit didn’t even know it needed. Thank you!
Loved the post! I will display what I cite below in my office as a constant reminder, especially on days when I am a bit empty:
Take heart. God not only hears you, He sees right through to the raw and maybe afraid-to-hope core of you. And into that core that feels a little empty? He’s speaking words of hope.
I absolutely love your writing and I feel God’s peace and presence just by reading your blog. He is so faithful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us
Thank you for sharing your heart. It brings tears of pain but also of hope and joy all at once – Knowing God is in the waiting of all things.
