In Between Times


I have been traveling and back and forth between time zones this week.  I woke up today in Central Time and will be going home to Mountain.  My brain has had to shift to figure out if I'm early for a conference or late. 

I giggled to myself, "I'm in between times. Without a time. I am going to have to get used to this."  Then, I'm speechless.  How true this is.

My brain is trying to function on one time, while my heart is locked on another.   God has such a way of speaking truth to my heart. 

My brain always follows my heart.  My heart cries out to Him in all of its mess and glory and truth.  My brain gets caught up in the day to day distractions.  

 I am truly in between times.  

Between now and then.  Between temporary and eternal.  My heart is wide open even if my brain still stuck on time.

I hope this is as encouraging for you this morning as it is for me.  

We are between times and within the hands of Him who is outside of time and in all times!
"Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and  
strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and 
also members of his household." Eph. 2:19

"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also 
we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus 
Christ; who will transform the body of our humble  
state into conformity with the body of His glory, by 
the  exertion of the power that He has even to subject 
all things to Himself." Philippians 3:20

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...
