God Washed my Feet

Last updated on: March 29, 2013 at 10:31 am By Grace Sandra

“Hi, Grace, I’m Steve. I know this is slightly weird but I believe the Lord told me I’m supposed to wash your feet.” Slightly? I looked at him. He looked at the floor. We both spun around to look at the basin strategically placed in the middle of the floor to symbolize the service we would provide that week. I had never met Steve before. I’ve only met Steve once since that day. In our 2nd meeting, I bought him... Read more

Maundy Thursday + Give an Easter Basket of….Candy? No, Hope.

Last updated on: March 28, 2013 at 12:05 pm By Grace Sandra

Today is Maundy Thursday. Maundy is the foot-washing that Jesus gave the disciples on the night they enjoyed their Last Supper together. Early this morning with Ransom on my left reading a Lego book & Rhys on my right reading The Monster at the End of This Book (loudly on an iphone app with Grover in his squeaky high pitched voice) I tried to meditate on this passage in the book of John where said feet-washing & Last Supper took place. (Per my usual,... Read more

When Things Are Not Ideal

Last updated on: March 26, 2013 at 1:46 pm By Grace Sandra

Someone once told me when I start to worry I should take the worry as far it could go and follow it up with the shockingly insightful question, “then what?” Or better yet, “so what?” Let’s say I’m worried about how much longer it’s taking us to pay down debt than I hoped. Taking that worry as far at could go would mean it would take the rest of 2013? But, “then what?” Well, we’d be done with debt in... Read more

Last updated on: March 19, 2013 at 11:50 am By Grace Sandra

It’s Spiritual Abuse Awareness week on the interwebs.

Rest

Last updated on: March 15, 2013 at 9:11 am By Grace Sandra

I’m in a season of rest with the Lord. A season of grace with the Lord. Joy. Like yesterday, I’ll be writing about quiet times for the next few posts, in part because of how much I’m enjoying my time in the Word & prayer in the early morning. I’ve even surprised my self that I’ve managed to scrape my lazy behind out of bed in enough time to sit in silence on most days before I head off to... Read more

The One About When God Serenaded Me with a Violin

Last updated on: March 12, 2013 at 7:59 am By Grace Sandra

I want to feel called to it, Lord. Read: I want to know it’s going to be successful, that it will all work out. I want to feel like you, God are telling me to do it. I want for you to sky-write it. Or, better yet, cement-write it. That would be cool…and reveal your glory all the more. Because it’s all about you. And me. It’s about me wanting you to write stuff in cement for me. ~ Lately,...

Today, one way I’m honoring the women in my life I appreciate is by thinking of them, saying a prayer of thanks & one quick prayer for them.
