“time and a sense of wonder…”

I definitely have one and not so much of the other…guess which?

Rain for Roots

When God hears and answers prayers, it is always something I rejoice over.  This particular gift from His hand is an answer to longing more than specific prayers.  For years, I’ve hoped and waited for an opportunity to work alongside friends on a meaningful creative endeavor.  Rain for Roots is that gift.  These friends are making songs for the littlest hearts (and my own) that simply and beautifully communicate the character of God.  Enjoy and please let others know about this new project.  


You can download a free 4 song sampler by visiting Rain for Roots and entering your email and zip code in the bottom right corner.  Enjoy and share with others if you’re so inclined!

They say the wheel was invented
and fire was discovered.

When you sit in the circle
and rub together the sticks of your life,
what grey smoke-signaled stories
rise in the starry black sky?

Listen and pay attention.

Warm
what has grown cold.
Shine a light
on what has darkened.
Stoke the embers
around your gritty ashes.
Fire up the vitality
lurking in your everydays.
Fan the flame
of knowing thyself.

Courage…the original definition of courage (from the Latin word Cur meaning heart) is to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart. Brene Brown on Vulnerability

The Psalms give us a unique approach to emotions…the Psalms do not say that we should be under-aware (stuffing, denying) of our emotions or over-awed (bowing, venting) by our emotions. We should be praying them. And, we don’t mean by ‘praying them’ that you put them into nicely manicured and managed little theologically correct confessional prayers but you pre-reflectively pour them out into the presence of God and you process them there. Tim Keller, Praying our Fears sermon from 3/5/2000
