  • cura animarum

    cura animarum

    This post comes from a passionate, yet at times frustrating place. But it 100% comes from having compassion for people and wanting nothing but the best for them. Cura animarum is a Latin term meaning “care of souls”. Although the care of souls is a pastoral responsibility of the clergy, it seems that many clergy…

  • Love Is…

    Love Is…

    1 Corinthians 13:3-5 NIV If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others,…

  • Tension and God’s Presence

    Tension and God’s Presence

    God really has me. Knowing this doesn’t mean I am free of tension but that I actually feel all of it. I feel all of my worlds colliding at once. God holds me together. Somethings I cling tightly to. God invites me to loosen my grip. Other things I loosely hold. God invites me to…

  • Miracles

    Miracles

    I prayed for a miracle last night. I wasn’t specific in asking what this miracle would be. I was just desperate enough to believe that God would answer my prayer.  Poverty in spirit comes when hands are wide open for any movement of God in one’s life, even if that movement isn’t what you would…

  • I often ponder…

    I often ponder…

    I often ponder, “Where is God meeting me?” If I pause long enough, I can sense where and how God has shown up in different ways. Now the question comes, “Where am I meeting God?” This is intentionality on my part.  And as I reflect, I know exactly where I am meeting God. Intentionally meeting…

  • I Finished That Season Well!

    I Finished That Season Well!

    I have been fortunate enough to move in rhythm with God’s grace. Not every moment in the last eleven and a half years was graceful, but somehow, I found grace for each moment. Mostly, it was God being gracious to me and teaching me how to reciprocate that grace to others. I was 33 when…

  • “Faith is sometimes spelled R.I.S.K.”

    “Faith is sometimes spelled R.I.S.K.” I heard Pastor Kris mention this in his first sermon at Lancaster COGOP. It caught my attention.  This is exactly what my faith looks like (risky), I never considered how it may be spelled, though. It’s an incredible feeling when a word spoken resonates with what is true for me.…

  • I BELIEVE..

    I believe God is restorative, not retributive. ♡I believe we are worthy, not unworthy.♡I believe Christ died for us because of God’s “great love” for us, not necessary because of our sin. ♡I believe we are “being saved.”♡I believe there is more to the mystery of God than we will unfold in our lifetime.♡These are…

  • 45

    45

    This is the number of years God has blessed me with. Today marks 45 years of life. My breath was given 45 years ago. My life on this earth, in flesh, began 45 years ago. I have found myself weepy as this day slowly approached. It wasn’t the feeling or thought of getting older but…
