… a Daddy who adopted a baby not his own, and took on the role of Father…


I’ve been praying over this piece, as I was given him with hopes to repair…and it’s taken longer than I expected, but through this process it has been a prayerful journey.


Nothing is by coincidence~ I am certain, not one moment in our lives…


I contemplated this while sanding him down to find his foundation.


I kept asking the Lord,

“what do you want me to see?”

“what do you want me to know?”


Continually sanding and repairing his broken places, and sanding again…revelation began to break open, and then it hit my heart deeply…


Joseph…

He was minding his ways~going through life, as he walked directly into his appointment with the Lords divine will. How overwhelming the thought, how ill equipped he must have felt to be confronted with the task as Father.


The myriad of questions and uncertainty, the flood of emotion and fear…

Then the angel of the Lord spoke, “fear not, take Mary…she will bear a son, you will call his name Jesus.”


He chose~ to take on sweet baby Jesus as his own son.

There was no demanding requirement…

he could have said no…

But he chose…


The Lord our God, He is so precious in his ways with us… he sent Jesus in the flesh, as a baby… a vulnerable baby…and they grew together as a family.

He was gentle with Joseph and Mary’s hearts, to bring Him in a way, that they could grow together, learning and walking through the joys and aches they would face in raising His only begotten Son.


In our weakness, He is strong.


He makes us worthy of the call He has designed us for in this life~ to bring Him glory, and to bring us deep satisfaction in Him.

His ways are so good…they nourish our soul and the souls of others around us, as we surrender.


His goodness chases us down… Do you believe this?

What Joy…

What a Savior.


“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven .”




 
 
 

The waters reflection of the sun was like an electrical current pulsing through the branches…


The Lord is intentional, his design takes my breath...over and over.

He set the celestial bodies in the heavens when he spoke creation into existence~the sun for our day~the moon and the stars to illuminate our night.


He gave us vision, not to see black and white, but in color through wavelengths that are not absorbed, but reflective light ; He also designed rays of light that bounce back creating the movement with the reflection of light;


Meditating further…without the presence of light, there would be the absence of shadows…the sheer existence of light creates the casting of the silhouette when the light is restricted~it is here, where depth is perceived…in the shaded spaces where the dance of the light and dark begin by the simple shifting of the wind.


…the leaves play.


Can you hear them?

Take a pause in your step to listen…live in the I AM presence and take notice today of the world around you…


Do you see the beauty of every moment created?

It’s just for you…for His glory.


I pray for your eyes to be opened to the wonder of Him.

Jesus. The Light of the world.




“But we all, with unveiled face reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.”

2 Corinthians 3:18




 
 
 

It is 11:48pm on this Saturday evening, May 31, 2025…as I begin to write and still my spirit before the Lord… I think about my reading today, as it was

in Proverbs 31…

In coming to the passage this morning, if I’m honest, I shook my head because I knew what I was about to read~in ways… so many attributes that the Virtuous woman Embodies, I deeply long for and seek after, but yet find myself wanting.


After reading and journaling through my study, I swiftly went to work in my home. Today felt different, it was marked by enthusiasm and energy filling the atmosphere~ producing a diligent hand and intentionality to re-order the spaces that were in disarray and cleanse and purge areas that needed much attention.


With joy, the children set to clean with me, and I truly believe it was because, I laid hold of the moment by the living-breathing scriptures, and lead them to the work at hand, and we served together as a team.


Children truly do learn by example, and it was manifested today by the sheer fact that I took the Word of God that I read, and I applied it as best as I was able with the time that I set aside to care, for our sacred space that we call home.


Whenever we finally paused, though not completely finished, there was a sense of accomplishment and peace ensued because, we were able to collectively

sense the order.


How can you engage His word today?

He is the Way.

He is the Truth.

He is the Life...and oh, there is so much life to live, when we decide to step forward into the Light, and simply, “follow Jesus.”


“She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.”

Proverbs 31:27
