My heart is heavy this Christmas season now that the presents are all bought, made, and wrapped. As usual, I have realized--all too late--that something is missing. This video created by David's roommate and friend from film school in Jerusalem pretty much sums it up:
Let me back up a few weeks. . . David decided to make a digital timeline scrapbook for our Christmas present this year. He needed old pictures and asked me to send him some. In the process of going through the old pictures I realized something was missing in my face but could not clearly identify what it was. My dear husband declared that I had lost my faith. He is right. Between the death of my father in 2001 and our oldest son completely turning his back on his God and his family in 2012, my faith seems to have faded into the busyness of life. Sound familiar? See Matthew 13:7, "Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants." It is time to reclaim the lost ground! And that not only for myself, but for anyone who wants to join my journey back to faith. Along the way we will be exploring creative ways of sharing with others our faith, fruit of the Spirit, missions opportunities, and simply loving our Lord and Saviour as He displays His glory in creation itself (especially obvious when you live on a farm).
And that, my friend, is a short introduction to my life and purpose for this site.
