Earthquake

“This feels like an earthquake.” 

Every week brings news of another person, couple, or family leaving. Exiting an area of the world where we live and serve at the time. 

They retire early. Or move back home to pursue something new. 

It starts large. Shaking hard. Then we feel tremor after tremor. 

Enough to unsteady the feet.

And trouble the mind.

Seek His face

Seek His face.

During a three-year famine, David inquires of the Lord. Literally—David seeks the face of the Lord. 

In the midst of difficulty and dryness. When things seem not as they should be. I wrestle with the whys.

Then remember. 

“Seek the Lord and His strength;
seek His face always” (1 Chronicles 16:11).

Naming places

Naming places. Putting our experiences on the map. 

No ordinary map. 

But one detailing journey and rest. 

Marking a lifetime of walking with the Lord.
