This month, I’ve felt the fire slowly waning. I know exactly what I need to do to fan the flame — drop to my knees, confess my ever-wandering heart, and seek the Lord’s face before everything else. Yet, here I am again reading blogs instead of the Bible and chatting with friends instead of having a long talk with the One who by grace has called me friend.

I’m off to keep the fire burning on the altar of this feeble heart. Thank you for your perfectly-timed words and the honesty with which you share your own faith-walk!

Margie, I am deeply sorry that you are having to walk through so much death right now. Grief is real. The emotions that come with loss are powerful. I know that God remembers you are human. And I trust that He will literally carry you through this. He allows us space to grieve. And He alone can bind up the wounds. Praying for and with you right now.

Thanks Kelly. 🙂

Love to you, sister-friend.

God is so amazing how He does that. The way He speaks to us exactly how we need to hear. He really is our Father. Thanks for letting me know. It’s so encouraging.

Sarah, that’s such a great focus. My prayer life goes in waves as well, sometimes vibrant and bold, sometimes not. Trusting that God will bless that desire.

And you are so right. God does not want us to have a mediocre faith. He has called us to boldly proclaim His name and His great works! May we all grow in that boldness as we draw nearer to Him!
