nine::(eight)nine

I have been busier this past week thank many in my life. It literally made me sick. But not figuratively, yet, for good things are being found, and good people are being made known. I am recognizing the great depth of the genealogy I come from intellectually. I am being re-born. The cost is great, yet the world needs us to give all. Strength follows. Joy follows. Loneliness may be here for a while, but then a bright face is found in your presence and movement is possible. So much is mystery and I do not presume knowledge. Yet, what if I were to begin presuming joy? What if I were to begin living into a reality of freedom and refuge in God? And would you come with me?

(eight: Micah 5:1-4, Psalm 13, Matthew 1:1-16, 18-23; nine: Wisdom 9:13-18, Psalm 90, Philemon 9-10, 12-17, Luke 14:25-33)
