Planned… but Led

Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 speaks straight into the tension most of us live with every day—the pull between making plans and trusting God.

Self-Seeking and Christ-Seeking: Two Paths, Two Outcomes

A little like how many…
When Desperation Meets the Divine

Twelve winters stole her strength and name,Each day became a silent plea;Yet hope had bloomed from whispered words—“He heals… He’ll stop. He’ll come…
In the Measure of Every Part

(Inspired by Ephesians 4:16 “From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”) The Head gives signal—quiet as breath—and somewhere in the unseen placesthe body…
