Fully pleasing?

It’s the all and fully and every that get me. 

In all wisdom and spiritual understanding?

Fully pleasing to God?

Bearing fruit in every good work? Strengthened with all power?

God who reveals

He is the God who reveals. And draws people to Himself.

At the school where our children study in Singapore, a woman sees the invitation for mothers to gather and pray. 

So, she comes. Curious. Seeking.

I speak her heart language. So we meet later. And I explain the gospel. 

In a subsequent meeting, she repents and believes.

Devotional Memoir

Unseen

Two years ago on this day, I sit beside my husband’s bed in the ICU. Two stents newly inserted into one of his arteries. Blood now flowing freely through his heart. In a place formerly 100-percent blocked.

Only hours before, we walk. Drive. Talk. Laugh. Following everyday routines. Ordinary schedules.

Not knowing danger lurks.

Oblivious to unseen, unnoticed blockage wreaking havoc. Beneath the surface. Under skin and flesh and vessel.

Two years ago in the ICU.
