Advent 6. It’s hard to find the wonder on exhausting days when your son is struggling with every single transition. It’s hard to find the hope in the overwhelm. It’s hard to live with possibility in the midst of shut down and fear. But still. The sun rises. Books are read aloud. People are kind. A rainbow guided us home and brought a moment of joy and tears, bringing me back to sanity after a fractious broken trip out. #advent #lookingforwonder #light #rainbow #promisesAdvent 5Advent 4Advent 3Advent 2. I look for the wonder, the ways the God who came close has come to me today. Dawn. Writing down a story of transformation in my thoughts and outlook of life. Sharing it with my spiritual direction course mates. Feeling the hope of congruence, the joy of freedom and the constant thread of the never stopping, never failing, never giving up love of the Maker, presence, One who comes deeply close to us and wraps us in love, welcome and acceptance. #advent #hope #findingthewonder #emmanuelAdvent 1. The start of the waiting. The looking for the coming of Immanuel in this world. The One who has come and will come and the One who we look for each day.Archives

What I read in November/December
I thought I would get this one out of the way before I list my year in books. It’s been a slow reading time recently, I’m not sure why. Tiredness, exhaustion and a little too much addiction to scrolling through … Continue reading
