Untracked land

Untracked land. Most vivid on days marked by change. Upheaval. 

When planned schedules sit. Unattended. Calendars, set aside. 

And we enter unknown spaces. 

On such a day, I remember the quote. Handwritten on a scrap of paper years ago. Placed on my desk. 

Amy Carmichael’s words. 

Untracked land.

When love runs out

When love runs out? I’ve been there. 

And life lessons confirm my weakness. Insufficiency. To love in my own strength.

But He faithfully leads me to the truth.

My love runs out. His never does.

Promises

Promises made and kept, anchor the heart. 

Steady our steps. 

Bring comfort in the dark. And courage for the day to day. 

Wholehearted commitment and follow-through reflects and reveals the faithfulness of our God. 

As we celebrate Christmas each year, my husband and I also rejoice in another anniversary. Remembering promises we made to one another. 

Promises. December 1987.
