Totally Different

“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  John 1:14 (ESV)

Turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie, rolls, etc. – oh the food was so delish this Thanksgiving. The familiarity of these holiday faves eased the discomfort of everything being different. This was the first ever Thanksgiving in a long, long time that I didn’t cook the evening meal. I so enjoy cooking, hosting  and then getting up super early on Friday to do some serious Black Friday shopping. By Sunday afternoon 90% of my Christmas shopping is done, the tree is up and decorated and I’m chilling ready for the return to work.

2024 definitely unveiled a totally different vibe for Thanksgiving. We traveled to Pennsylvania to spend Thanksgiving with my husband’s family. No Black Friday shopping. Lots of traveling and then back to work no trimming of the tree – the long awaited holiday was over in a flash.

Dropping the pity party here because totally different may challenge us, yet it also unveils pivotal moments to embrace God’s sovereign plan. Nestled right there in the middle of different was a gathering surrounding my husband’s 90 year old mom whose face glowed at the sight of her children, grandchildren and greatgrands. Lengthy conversations filled the air as stories were shared, challenges voiced and encouragement offered. Sweet moments of reflection divinely orchestrated by our God. And my Lynchburg family survived without their usual Thanksgiving meal and did a pickup meal from a local vendor. They loved the food and everyone stayed warm in their homes despite the chill and wind outside.

Totally different than anyone expected is how God orchestrated the arrival of His Son into this world. Some anticipated a conquering king, royalty or a mighty warrior. Yet Jesus’ entrance into this world began not in a palace but in a manger. Shepherds quietly tending their flock on an ordinary evening witnessed spectacularly different when the angelic host filled the skies with their praise.  A totally different star gloriously illuminated the dark of night leading wise men to Bethlehem. And the life lived and sacrificed by the tiny babe in the manger was totally different than anyone could have imagined.

So sweet friends despite our lack of joy over totally different,  God sees the bigger picture and if we let Him, He will show us His glory despite our reluctance to accept different. In just 23 days, we will close out 2024. Perhaps now is a good time to review how God has allowed different in our year to shape us into stronger and more God centered women than we were before. Perhaps God’s newness in us will bring greater glory than we ever imagined all because we are now totally different.

“Sweet Jesus thank You for the gift of perspective…for stretching us where we would rather settle for same and teaching us the value of different. Show us Your glory in the midst of our days many of which look different than we expected, yet all hold the potential of allowing You to orchestrate beautiful moments when we release them into Your hands.”

Caught Up In His Lavish Compassion

“For we are not presenting our petitions before You (God) based on our righteous acts, but based on the Your abundant compassion.” Daniel 9:18b (HCSB)

We’d probably all love to consider ourselves caring people. You know the kind who stop to reach out to others. The type of person who puts others before self. The one who gives, serves and plans acts of kindness. Sounds like someone we’d love to be….doesn’t it? But if we’re really honest, if we’re really looking self in the mirror, we’d have to admit we often fall short in the caring department. Probably not because we don’t care – more likely because we are too consumed, busy and distracted to even notice.

Take it a step deeper and we’d probably miss the mark on compassion towards those who definably aren’t doing life the way we think they should. Understandable when we consider the actions and reactions of those who turn their back on us. Never thinking twice about kindness, mercy or compassion in those moments.

Reminds me of why I so love our God. His love, mercy and compassion are not dependent on us; it’s simply who He is. A divine DNA of the One who perfectly considers us even in the midst of our walking away.

As Daniel confessed the sins of his people and sought God’s mercy, he was fully aware of God’s abundant compassion. He was acquainted with God’s holiness and righteousness. And for that very reason, Daniel reminded his Creator of his own sinfulness and sins of his people, Israel. No sugarcoating or denial – just simply the truth – God we are unworthy yet we appeal to Your lavish compassion.

Don’t know about you but just the thought that God would even hear my voice draws me to my knees. The One who formed us, shaped us and lavishes us with His love and compassion never turns His back or runs away. Fully aware of our tendencies to disobey, He patiently waits for our return. While God’s holiness cannot excuse away our wrongs, He mercifully extends grace to those who come humbly before Him.

Sweet reminder when caring is far from our lips – we’re all unworthy – we all fall short. Yet God loves us, reaches out to us and bestows abundant compassion to those who call upon His name.

“Father, Your compassion is fresh and new every morning. Your loving mercy is abundant. There is no shortage of grace with You oh God.”

For His Glory

Faith & Fear

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

Standing in the shower as the hot water poured over the top of my head, I spoke out loud to God, “I will serve you as long as you keep me here, Lord.”  I had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. My phone seemed to ring nonstop in the first two weeks while doctors determined a treatment plan forward.  In the midst of the flurry of early appointments and scans, I had just learned moments earlier over the phone that I would require chemo. “I will stay as long as you keep me here, God.”

While my words seemed brave to God in the shower that day, my mind was in a battle with fear. My children were just 10 and 14 at the time. Each time I thought about them, a debilitating panic would wash over me. It literally felt like fear chased me like a lion! I had to train myself to answer that lion… with Scripture…out loud!

I’m a big fan of talking to God out loud. It not only keeps my mind from wandering away from Him, but it also feels like I’m establishing an invisible, faith boundary that fear can NOT cross.

The Bible speaks on the topic of fear, quite a bit, actually. One of the most prominent references comes from Psalms 23, “..though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.”  This shock of a breast cancer diagnosis brought me face to face with my own mortality. It was an assault to my whole being: mind, body and soul.

But God.

Goodness! Our wonderful Father in Heaven, He is always with us. Sometimes we might not be aware of His presence, but He is there. Deuteronomy 31:6-8 holds the most beautiful promise: “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread.. for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

He never leaves us. Not once. In fact, He walks with us each day, through everything, until one day, He will walk us all home. Until then, the next time fear tries to chase you like a lion, speak Scripture out loud! His Word is mightier than a two-edged sword and it will drive back that fear.

“Father God,  thank You for never leaving nor forsaking me (us). Help me (us) to put our faith and confidence only in you!”

For His Glory

The Shepherds

“And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.”   Luke 2:17-18 (ESV)

My favorite part of the Christmas story is the Shepherds. Since I was a little girl fighting my sister to set up the manger scene each year, it has always been the shepherds. Our set had a tall shepherd man with a sweet lamb wrapped around his shoulders. The shepherd’s hands were up holding that lamb tightly and the shepherd had a gentle smile on his face. Somehow my little girl mind knew that smile was how God looked at me, and I have always known He has held me tightly all these years.

That is a wonderful memory, yet as I have grown up,  the shepherds have remained my favorite part of the Christmas story because nothing made sense, yet they never questioned it, they just went with God! If only I could live that way!

On a very normal night,  like so many others they had experienced, they were ‘just’ doing their job. They are keeping the sheep safe. They are guarding them, keeping eyes wide open for wild animals, and trying to stay warm. All they did that night was show up to work. Then one angel appears and explains to them what is happening in a barn not far away.  Then the sky fills with angels celebrating that their King has come to Earth while the shepherds hold tight and watch this pop-up concert in the stars. We have no idea how long this concert lasted. Suddenly the sky is dark again and the shepherds make the bold decision to go see this miracle-this precious Baby, our Savior. They don’t hesitate, they don’t look for help for the sheep, they just go! The Bible does not tell us if they talked with Mary or Joseph or even bowed down, as the Wise Men would later do, it just says they saw Him.

Luke 2:17 tells us the shepherds “made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. All those who heard it marveled at those things which were told to them by the shepherds.”   The message states, “They told everyone they met what the angels had said about this child. All who heard the shepherds were impressed.”

So the overcrowded town of Bethlehem heard what happened on the hillside, and they marveled or were impressed, but THEY DID NOT GO! They were in the same town where the King of Kings was born, they knew about it, they thought it was cool, and then they did nothing about it. NOTHING!!!

Can you imagine the shepherds going from door to door or inn to inn telling everyone what they had seen and everyone listened, they were impressed, but they continued on without allowing this news to change their lives.

Deep breath-what do you know about Jesus? What have you heard about Him? Have these things changed your life? The Bethlehemites knew He was born and heard about His miraculous announcement, but it did not change anything about their life. It was a fun story and they were glad they heard it, maybe they even told others as they headed back home about it, but it did not cause their actions to change.

The poor, stinky shepherds allowed the news to change their lives. Do we?

“Father, let our hearts and lives be changed by your arrival in this world.”

The Christian Life Is Like…Skydiving?

“These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.”   John 15:11

I was just looking at some photos from a couple of years ago when my husband went skydiving for his birthday. Just viewing the series of 179 images brought me through a rollercoaster of emotions: anticipation, dread, thrill, fear, anxiety, and joy, to name a few. Then I started thinking about how the whole adventure can be likened to the Christian life. Let me explain with words as I literally look through the pics…

The first pics are of my hubby in the airplane, filled with a mix of excitement and terror. This is like our life as earth-dwellers, isn’t it? We fly through this world making choices that bring us to new heights. And sometimes our journey has sudden dips that make us a bit nauseated. There are times of exhilaration and times of fear. (Now maybe to make this part of the analogy more accurate, we’d be flying the plane ourselves. But then there’s the whole pre-destination vs. free will argument that could ensue, so I’ll keep this metaphor at a 30,000-foot view—pun intended.)

Then I came to the shots of the actual jump from the airplane. Ah, the moment of real faith. He exited the known to soar into the unknown. All control out of his hands—he surrendered all. This is like the moment we put our trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior! We give up trying to do life our way (and the world’s way) and yield to the Lord’s sovereignty. It’s definitely a leap of faith, giving it all to Jesus. A step into the unknown. We leave the comfort of doing things like everyone else for the thrill of doing things God’s way. Is there trepidation? Yes! Are there stomach-drops of fear? Of course! Oh, but this is when life’s journey amps up, with joys unspeakable and peace that passes understanding.

I didn’t mention this before, but it really brings home the faith analogy: When he leaped from the airplane into the atmosphere, my husband was not alone. He was actually safely and tightly strapped to an expert skydiver. This man helped direct the freefall, knowing when to move his arms and legs certain ways. He also wore an altimeter, determining the right time to pull the cord to open the chute. Then, although my hubby’s emotional balance may have swung from fear to joy (knowing the death-defying freefall was over), the guy on his back still controlled the rest of the journey to earth. (Are you smiling with the ah-ha moment yet?)

When we take our leap of faith into the Christian life, it can be scary not knowing what we’re getting ourselves into. But, sweet friend, we are never on our own in this adventure! Jesus is strapped to our back, so to speak. In fact, we are given God in the Person of the Holy Spirit to live in us, to guide and direct us through every moment. Yes, there is pain and fear and anxiety. But He’s got us, so even through our tribulations and challenges of the world, we can confidently know that He has overcome the world (John 16:33)! He’s right there with us to comfort us, quell our fears, and wipe away our tears. And we can know that this adventure holds incredible pleasures, highs of joy, and deep satisfaction. And the proverbial “Man on our back” is there to belly laugh right along with us.

Now, I realize this skydiving analogy isn’t perfect. But I do hope in it you sense the delight of the Christian life—and the fact that you are never, ever alone (Romans 8:38-39). Or if you’ve been walking (soaring) with the Lord for a while, I pray that you’re able to recapture the sheer thrill of when you first took that leap. And what’s really cool to think of is where this analogy can go, especially as I flip to the photos of when my husband’s feet hit solid ground. Maybe it’s because I’m currently studying Revelation and reading a theological book on Heaven…but, oh, when Jesus speaks into existence the New Heaven and New Earth, I imagine our reaction to look similar to my husband’s face in those pics. It reads something like, “Wow, that experience was unbelievably thrilling…but, I’m so very glad to be Home, where the real adventure awaits.”

“Lord, help me remember that You are with me through my journey through this broken world, giving me strength, courage, and hope. And remind me daily that the Real Adventure with You is yet to come.”

When Return Is The Answer

“So she (Hagar) called the LORD who spoke to her: The God Who Sees, for she said, “In this place, have I actually seen the One who sees me? Genesis 16:13 (NIV)

When God’s promises and our timing seem off it is so easy to seize control. After all God did create us to be helpers and perhaps He just needs us to push things along. Those were thoughts that may have lingered in Sarai’s mind. God’s promise of a son seemed impossible, so Sarai gave Hagar (her slave) to Abram as a surrogate wife.

I’m sure you remember the story – Hagar gets pregnant something Sarai couldn’t’ accomplish and then Hagar gets a little arrogance in her step. Sarai blames Abram, and he tells Sarai do whatever you like with Hagar. Sarai asserts her authority and treats Hagar badly – Hagar flees into the wilderness. God hears Hagar’s cries and tells her to go back to Sarai. Sounds like a reality tv show.

We all know what drama women can cultivate, and I’m sure it wasn’t easy for Hagar to return to the one who mistreated her. While God definitely doesn’t want us to live in abusive situations, this was His will for Hagar to swallow her pride and return. We don’t hear any mention in scripture of what happened when Hagar showed back up, but I would guess that Hagar didn’t allow her pride to rise back up to the surface.

Return is rarely our go to response when conflict arises. Like Hagar, we simply want relief. We don’t want to face the drama escalating out of control. So what’s a girl to do when conflict shows up and she is getting the short end of the stick? Hagar’s run into the desert probably gave her some “me” time. A chance to evaluate her role and how she offended the one she had faithfully served for many years. Her response to the angel of the Lord was one of running away not a re-telling of her sob story.

Wonder what would happen if we pulled ourselves away and honestly evaluated the drama encircling us? Rather than point the finger, we would look deep inside to see how we have contributed to the issue. Instead of replaying the events over and over, we would listen for God’s voice and obey even if it means going back to what seems hopeless.

Everything that touches our lives – other’s actions and our reactions – are fully visible before the eyes of God. He knows the potential for growth found in working through conflict and is fully aware that it isn’t all about “us” but the whole picture is at stake. And in those moments when we feel invisible, God is right there beside us – the One who truly sees it all desiring reconciliation.

“Father channel us away from pride and help us to see clearly the role we have played when conflict arises. Help us to hear and obey Your voice as we pursue unity with others.”

Gratitude

“… do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”  Philippians 4:6 (ESV)

Last week I taught chapel to a room full of precious elementary students. Our topic was how to train to be Godly and I desperately wanted them to get it. We spend so much time training and practicing for things that have no eternal value, I kept thinking, “ How amazing would it be to have these young hearts grasp what is important and decide to focus on Him!”

In my preparation, I came across some ideas to help younger minds understand what Godliness is and how to help them focus in that direction. What I did not expect was how much it helped me-isn’t that the way it usually goes!

In the area of teaching kiddos how to pray, one of the points of emphasis I discovered was how to teach children to give gratitude to God during their prayer time. Some material that I read stressed teaching children to list the things they love about God and Who He is and what things, specific things, He has done in their life. Maybe this was written for kids, but it sure applies to me!

As author Lisa Appelo writes, “Gratitude opens our spiritual eyes. There’s a beautiful cycle in giving God thanks: the more we thank Him, the more we see Him working in us and around us. Gratitude helps us sense God’s presence, His personal care and His perfect timing.”

That is exactly what I want-to sense God’s presence, to know He is working in all things, and to honor His timing as I understand He is King of Kings and I am not. I want my eyes to be open and aware of Who it is that I am living for and gratitude is the key to moving into that direction.

Maybe you are struggling and do not feel as if you have a lot to be grateful for. I have been there. Life fell apart and I felt so alone. I have found that gratitude is a choice. It can be the bootstraps God uses to help us pull ourselves out of the pit of self. It is not always easy, but it is always worth it. There is always, always something to be thankful for. When we find the things to thank Him for, we can see Him working and this draws us to Him.

As Corrie Ten Boom recorded, her sister Betsy taught her to be thankful for the fleas in their beds in the Nazi concentration camps because the fleas kept the guards from coming into their barracks!

I think I can find something to give God thanks for!

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!

What Do You Say?

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy is everlasting.” Psalm 107:1

My boys may be beyond the age of that incessant request on my part, but you mamas of littles out there know what I’m talking about. A gift given or compliment received, and… wait for it, wait for it…nothing. Then, in your pleasantest mommy sing-songy voice: “What do you say?” A quick upward glance from that little angelic face to yours is followed quickly by, “Thank you!”

Oh, how I sometimes need that reminder for myself when it comes to the gifts given and mercy received from my gracious God. What about you?

Maybe there’s a decision you’re trying to make, and you’ve been knocking and knocking on His door about it, trying to discern clarity. Perhaps there’s a situation about which you’ve been begging for Providential intervention—an illness, a job, a prodigal. Or you’ve been crying out to Him in pillow-soaking desperation over some deep anguish.

Then it happens—slowly or in dramatic fashion. Because one door closed, you walked through another to find God’s “what’s next” for you. Healing comes—or at least an acceptance in the grace that is more than enough. A job offer is made that means next month’s rent is covered. That child who was staggering ever closer to the pigsty turns to run home.

And, like nine of 10 lepers surveyed, we run off excitedly to tell others of our deliverance. The news is shouted from every social-media-mountaintop. We may even give God the glory as we recount the details of our storm-turned-sailing-weather. But, amid our private and public celebration, do we remember to turn back to the Gift-giver with thanksgiving?

I realize—like with that small child—the sheer joy of receiving may take our thoughts to what we’ll do with that gift. Totally understandable. But as we walk into Thanksgiving week, consider this our collective mommy-nudge…a reminder that our Father in heaven is awaiting those two polite words of gratitude from us. Whisper it, sing it, shout it, or dance for Him like King David. However we express it, let’s say, “Thank you” to our God for the big and small, glorious blessings He showers upon us each and every day.

“Father, as this Thanksgiving marks our nation’s annual reminder to profess our gratitude for life’s blessings, may I recognize, acknowledge, and give You all the glory for Your daily grace, mercy, and abundant provision. Thank You, thank You, thank You!”

 

For His Glory,

Why Grateful Hearts Matter

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.” Psalm 28:7 (ESV)

Middle of the week and we had no power.  You got it  – a car accident took out a main light pole in our neighborhood.  As I drove home from work, the sun was vanishing and dusk was settling in.  By the time I reached our driveway, I began to realize the full impact of the increasing darkness.  Luckily my sister had brought over three battery operated lanterns, and I quickly placed them all in the center of our kitchen counter.  The light shining forth was a welcomed relief.  Enough to enable me to fix a salad and eat a cold dinner.  This was doable.

I quickly realized, however, that sitting at the kitchen counter for the night was my only option if I kept the lanterns together.  So I began spreading them throughout our main living area and what a difference it made.  Each lantern illuminated and shined brightly where they were placed giving our room a warm cozy feel. I was no longer limited to just one space.

Lanterns are a lot like gratitude.  If we only praise God when life is good then we limit our view of God’s greatness.  It is doable to express our thankfulness in the face of ease and joy. When life is exciting and everything is just as we planned. But what about those moments when challenges and trials rise to the surface lurking in the darkness?  Dark is never our fave place to be, right?  Safe doesn’t fit being in the dark.  Clear vision fades in the darkness.  Clarity slips in the dark. Simply put, we prefer to be in the light where gratitude flows effortlessly.

Yet life happens, and we experience unexpected moments when gratitude slips away. We zero in on the circumstances and allow ourselves to become grumblers, overwhelmed and undone extinguishing our gratitude. Grasping towards what isn’t versus what is.

When I moved those lanterns to different areas in my home they shined forth right where they were placed.  Spreading light so I could see more clearly.  Gratitude works the same way. When we actively choose to praise God in the midst of the darkness, His light shines forth and illuminates our hearts. We lean in closer and gain a renewed perspective of His character and His presence. We learn how to trust more deeply in the one who has all things under His control.  And the most beautiful part is the light shining in us begins to flow out to others.  When people know our stories and witness our hearts filled with gratitude despite our pain and heartache, they too are drawn to God.

Sweet friends, we can choose to hover our focus in one direction – praising God when good defines us.  But a better choice, the best choice, is to allow our gratitude to encompass all areas of our lives, every part of our story including the good, bad and ugly.  Chapters we’d rather not write, yet ones God can use for His glory when we allow authentic, sacrificial gratitude to define us.

“Father, You are greatly blessed when we intentionally choose to praise You in the dark.  The enemy is defeated, and our hearts are filled with the joy of Your presence – best place to land – grateful hearts in all circumstances.”

For His Glory

Brave

“Calmness can lay great errors to rest.” Ecclesiastes 10:4b (NIV)

Gotta love those brave souls that seem to shine in the midst of a crisis. With wisdom, integrity and determination they press through the most difficult situations. Despite a whirl of chaos and uncertainty, they do life well – they stand strong and lead us peacefully.

Who are these brave individuals? They’re the school teachers quieting their students while a gunman fires down the hall. They’re the rescue workers talking the defeated one off a ledge and back to safety. They’re the waitresses responding calmly while being criticized for all to see and hear. They’re the parents hovering over their children while tornado winds blow off her roof. They’re the co-workers organizing groups to descend the Twin Towers when the enemy attacked. Individuals who reacted fearlessly even though they were shaking in their shoes. Individuals who didn’t get lost in the moment and lose their cool. Individuals who focused on the big picture versus the “me” picture.

How do we handle the unexpected emergency? Does calmness define us or do our actions create even more drama? Do we breathe urgent prayers for wisdom and strength or do we respond in panic relying on self?

Scripture is filled with brave souls that met their moments of crisis clinging and holding tight to the Great I Am.  “The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Praise the name of Yahweh,” echoed from Job’s parched lips.    “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,” uttered from the unwed pregnant teenager, Mary.  “The Lord will rescue me from every evil work and will bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever,” spoken by the persecuted Paul.

Shaking inside but standing firm. Responding appropriately vs. overreacting. Seeking God moment by moment, brave souls who knew that the One who created the universe still holds them in the palm of His hand.  We, sweet friends, are no different – we can shout His praise even in the depths of overwhelmedness and uncertainty.  Confident and brave.  Unwilling to cave.

“Father, life is unpredictable and can change in an instant. Help us to stay close to You and draw from Your power when uncertainty surrounds us.”

For His Glory
