The sun is rising this morning and bringing its light to illuminate the earth. It is calling me to a new day, a day filled with hope and peace as I begin my day. I feel rested in body and soul from the women’s conference I experienced this past weekend. This is the fifth time…

This past Valentine’s weekend, we went away to stay in the city for a couple nights. It seems almost counter intuitive, from the smaller country town to the big city to rest.

The word of God is often called the living word. I have experienced this when praying with the scriptures. As part of a class I am taking, I am to spend time daily reading a scripture verse, meditating on it, letting God speak to me, and writing about the experience. Inviting the Holy Spirit to…
