“For Mom, who first taught me the steps of God’s glorious dance.”
Do you ever wonder if anything you are doing matters? If anyone is listening? I have wondered that many times. Seeing my imperfections and all of the stresses and glitches in our family over so many years left me a humbled woman.
Last week, Joel received his copy of his new book, Sensing God, in the post. He passed it around and when it got to me, I opened it and began to flip through it, and there it was—he had not told me he had dedicated it to me. And to think he saw me as one who taught hi to dance in the midst of this very long journey of life.
We all need a little bit of dancing right now, don’t we. This morning, we took a very long walk in 35 degree we ather and talked and talked as friends. How dear it was to me to be, once again, sharing in heart passages of this man, my Joel, and to hear the fire burning brightly in his heart.
I know that your children, your friends, your husband, your co-workers are learning dance moves from you as you choose to grab hold of life and follow God’s music. it does matter. In this spirit, I have planned some soul-refreshing, some dancing themes, some vision restoration posts and podcasts for me and for you in the weeks ahead. I hope you will join me.
Own Your Life was written over 7 years ago when I sensed that I and my friends needed a foundation of rock solid principles in which to live life, parenting, marriage, friendship and more. I am so excited to do a new podcast on a seasoned book. Take yours out of the book shelf or purchase your copy for 12 weeks of foundational encouragement.
In pursuing these themes, I have been rejurvenated, refreshed and felt the surging love of God anew as I have been journeying through this wonderful book that my son, Joel, is launching in a few days. I know you will be refreshed, too.
Sensing God is a discovery of Jesus in all of the sensory points embedded into each of us. It shows how the holiest acts in our daily lives are often the simplest: reveling in the beauty of nature; listening to our favorite music; eating a nourishing meal with family. These are potentially heartbeats of a living faith, and when we learn to recognize and respond to God’s goodness in them, it draws us into redemptive participation with Him, the source of all beauty.
Finally, I am so very excited to be launching a Wednesday podcast next week on ideas and inspiration from Awaking Wonder to give a way forward to those who are hungry for encouragement and vision. Overall the next months will be a treasure of wisdom for scripture and thoughts to guide.
I am so very thankful you have chosen to join me. May your new year be most blessed and full of unexpected joy.
