Sometimes God does His deep work when we feel hidden away. Maybe you feel hidden because of grief and loss. Maybe you feel hidden because of a change in your circumstances. Maybe you can’t even articulate why you feel hidden. Though that place may feel hard beloved, and your desire is for rescue…. He is there. He has good for you right there in that desert place. Lift up your eyes, turn them back to Him and find the hope that is waiting for you “in His presence.” More to come on this topic. Make sure you are subscribed to my free newsletter so you don’t miss the upcoming podcasts and newsletters. ❤️ Comment: HOPE if you wish to subscribe.

35 years ago today I married Alan Dickson. It is strange when the one you would celebrate this milestone with is in Heaven. It is worth remembering and celebrating. Though it be both bitter and sweet I make space to grieve the things that are not and give thanks for what is. I am a glass half full person. Not because I was born that way but because I have learned to fight the good fight that way. I have learned to endure and lead my heart back to a place of trusting God . It doesn’t mean the grief is gone. It means I can feel everything and land in a place of looking up. ❤️#lifeafterloss #grievingwithhope #onethousandgifts

Many of us will describe peace as , something we experience in a particular place or when something hard is absent. And while these might bring about a feeling of peace there are also things we do to gain a sense of peace that are really just distractions. Remove those thinigs and our peace is gone once again. The newest episode of the Seek and Savor podcast will help you find true peace to anchor your heart in. ❤️ Link in my bio.i

We live in a fallen world, people sin, and hurt abounds. But God…. It is the place I am learning to live in. Yes, these things are true. My leg still hurts from an injury back in February and my car broke down on the way to church. But also, a friend painted my kitchen cabinets cream and my son repaired my deck. I find myself savoring more of God’s word, I read books to my grands in silly voices and I get to have conversations about Jesus everyday. I am standing in faith waiting on God for many things… You are too right? But God. He Still lives and His promises are true. He is not man that He should lie. ❤️ Dear friends, if your heart tends to linger over what has not yet been made whole maybe like me you need the reminder of who God is and what he has done so that gratitude can revive your heart. Don’t miss today’s new episode of the Seek and Savor podcast on this topic. (Link in bio.) Many things may be true, the hard and the beautiful but gratitude can revive your heart. ❤️ #givethanksforlife #thehardandbeautifuljourney #graceupongrace #alwaysrejoice

More time at home can mean more time to look inside ourselves. This makes us uncomfortable so we often fill our time with Netflix, music, or anything to distract ourselves. I love a good movie as much as the next person. But I’m determined to walk out of this season with MORE. When the Spirit led me to pray this prayer, it took me by surprise! “God please use the dead things to nourish the soil of my heart.” What did that even mean? We’ve all got them beloved, things that aren’t bearing fruit. But here is the good news! He will use even those things. Invite Him to turn the soil of your heart. Give it a good weeding. He works all things together for our good We can trust Him. Even as we see things slipping through our fingers that we wanted to hold onto. God is already in the act of bringing life from that. Can you trust him beloved? What is he asking you to let go? #lifeafterdeath #goodsoil #trustgodsplan

We can trust Him.

So thankful for this man my children got to call Dad. He was so selfless always putting our needs above his own. He was faithful and filled our home with laughter. His work ethic and how He used it to serve others and teach our boys how to serve is one of my favorite things. But nothing surpassed His desire to follow Jesus more. I love that my children will always remember waking up to Him in his chair, Bible in his lap and coffee in hand. I wish He was here today to tell him one more time how loved He is and how grateful we are for all the ways He cared for our hearts. Love is more than words. It is laying down your life, your desires for someone else. ❤️ Thank you Father for Alan Dickson. #lifeafterloss #loveisaction #fatherlove #rejoicealways
