The sojourning spirit is deep within each of us, if we’d listen, but it is not fundamentally about finding ‘the job’ or ‘the voice’ or ‘the degree’ or ‘the position’. The journey, at least as I know it, is a journey to union. It is a journey from fragmentation to wholeness, a journey from exile to home, a journey from attachment to union, a journey from hiding to “being hidden” in Christ, a journey from neurosis to theosis. – Chuck deGroat
important time spent
precious time together.
important words spoken
raw heart truth.
important choices made
driving…driving.
laughter, sunset, baseball, hotdog, peanuts, selfies…shared
the champagne of living.
not to mention the kissing…
mums the word
of the world beyond this world
where only two hearts can belong
and become more than they were before…
together.

A few weeks ago I took a break. I truly had no idea if I would return here. I was ok with that – it’s a lovely body of work.
I enjoyed my break, a few times I thought about it…mainly I didn’t….
Over the past three or four days I keep getting a recurring message, ‘speak to the dry bones’. (Haven’t totally worked that out yet…in fact, I’m at sea on it – I welcome any thoughts on it…)
Then, yesterday, I got the message in my soul…time to start again – return and build – and so, here I am. Not really sure where it’s going to go…feels a lot different from my first post 4+ years ago. There are lots of new things going on in my life. Lots of things being moved and removed. Interesting times for me, hard things, as always, still, there is the same, consistent hand of faith holding me, guiding me, urging me on, keeping me on the path of love, joy and peace. The world is a hard, broken place to live in, but deep inside each of us lives the key to overcome the world. I believe that completely.
Thank you for reading my words. Thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you for understanding, or even mis-understanding my thoughts. It’s all good stuff!
Welcome to my adventure!
Love and kisses,
Amy
Wisdom cries out in the street;
at the busiest corner she raises her voice:
“I will pour out my thoughts to you.”
—Proverbs 1.20, 21, 23
I listen.
Amid the clatter and chatter
of my fears and fantasies,
the rattle and traffic of this world
the trip wire pitch, the push,
the drive for the deal
to buy me and sell me—
I listen to your soft voice
humming beneath worry and duty,
steady, its ocean of silence,
its moon of light,
the nearest murmur,
no argument, no decree,
no foreign words, no hard words,
no words,
but wind in grass,
saying all I need to know,
flowing water,
a river poured out in me
to drink, to bathe,
to lie in and float
to your sea.
