menopaused 2

As promised last year. I offer writings from the menopaused years. Heart cries penned in the margins. 

The titles are telling: Wait. Stillness. Hope. Broken. Challenge. Winter. Rhythm.

For those currently traveling through this particular season of life, take heart. Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:37-39).

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving week. My mind wanders back across the years and the miles. We’ve made some memories.

Turkeys in Shikarpur

In November 1997 we traveled from Karachi to Shikarpur (Pakistan) and spent a few days with our friends living there. They’d happened upon two turkeys out in a rural area and were fattening them up for a Thanksgiving feast. 

FYI, turkeys gobble-gobble in Pakistan too.

Pray continually

At the beginning of each year, my mother asks, “Do you have a Scripture verse for this year?”  January 2013 was no different. 

So I asked the Father to reveal a specific Scripture for that year. An overarching theme to pray and study.  And a verse to send Mom.
