The Kingdom is Near – Reflection & Repentance – Day 20

In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near!” For he is the one spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, who said:

A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:
Prepare the way for the Lord;
make his paths straight!

Matthew 3:1-3 CSB

How am I preparing for Jesus’ arrival?

A Prayer

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your grace, mercy, and unfailing love. Help me to prepare my heart and mind to receive Your truth. Open my eyes and ears to Your Word, that I may be filled with Your wisdom and discernment. Let me not be deceived by any worldly pursuits, but instead be guided by Your Spirit. Fill me with faith and courage to stand for what is right, and to love others as You have loved us. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

On a Personal Note – Finish Well

With a little over 30 days left in the year, it’s easy to put a pin in new ideas or projects until the new year. As tempting as enjoying the pause may be, there are some things that we have been called to do that require our action now. Spiritual callings require our steadfast attention, not temporary devotion when our schedules allow. In this season, the Lord has been challenging me to finish well.

In a culture that values purpose and spiritual gifting, it’s interesting how quickly we toss them to the side when we’re fatigued or distracted. We yield to the flesh instead of the Holy Spirit’s guidance. We abandon how we show up out of convenience; missing opportunities to share the Gospel or be the hands and feet of Christ. Simply put, we fail to finish well.

On a Personal Note – Being Seen: A Reflection on Hagar

El Roi. The God who sees me. When we talk about Hagar, we often refer to this tender exchange. This exact moment in the wilderness when she encounters God… when she accepts correction and instruction to return to a tense situation… when she receives the promise concerning the son in her womb… when she recognizes that she is seen and known by name. Yes, this is a pivotal moment, marked with such a significant name, and as I began to walk through Hagar’s story, to be seen, is so much deeper than watching someone visually.

On a Personal Note – Loss and the Goodness of God

“Are you going to try for another one?”

The ink on our marriage certificate wasn’t even dry before people began to ask when my husband and I were planning on having children. This seemingly innocent question was often met with ‘we don’t know’ outwardly, but inwardly it reinforced the shame of not being able to conceive a child.

I am the one in four.
