Offering of Beggars – Cara Cobble Trantham
https://caractrantham.wordpress.com/2016/11/05/offering-of-beggars
My love affair with words and God. November 5, 2016. November 9, 2016. I can relate. I usually had time to read the devotionals each day, but didn’t have time to meditate and create like I wanted to. So, sometimes, I just put it off entirely. What if a month went past and we never cracked open our Bibles because life had simply taken over and we didn’t have time to give Him what we thought He would be pleased with? And instead of reprimanding her for her measly sacrifice, Jesus commended her for giving a...

Soul Rest – Cara Cobble Trantham
https://caractrantham.wordpress.com/2016/08/04/soul-rest
My love affair with words and God. August 4, 2016. November 6, 2016. It seems the Lord keeps bringing me back to the same concepts over and over until I have explored every crack and corner and crevice. Sometimes, it feels like a canyon. I’m realizing that it might be more a quest of perfecting the multitasking game than anything. I love nothing more than being efficient, saving time and money, and killing two birds with one stone. 1 If my husband just died, rest would be the farthest thing from my mind&...

The End is Just the Beginning – Cara Cobble Trantham
https://caractrantham.wordpress.com/2016/01/31/the-end-is-just-the-beginning/comment-page-1
My love affair with words and God. The End is Just the Beginning. January 31, 2016. January 31, 2016. Arguably the two most significant life events are birth and death. Coming into the world and heading into the next. We generally tend to celebrate births and mourn deaths. Despite varying birth stories, life is predictable for the most part. Death is often shocking and ugly, and we can’t control or predict it. We would rather say hello than goodbye. 8221; We expect it…perhaps we feel entitled? You see, t...

The Year of Not Yet – Cara Cobble Trantham
https://caractrantham.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/the-year-of-not-yet/comment-page-1
My love affair with words and God. The Year of Not Yet. January 19, 2015. January 19, 2015. I wanted to share them with you, in part. First, Beth’s blog post on December 31, 2011:. Are we still growing? Is there any evidence of growth over our last year? These are important questions to ask ourselves before we get up tomorrow morning, put {2014} behind us (which is appropriate! I have had a hard time picking my 3 words to describe last year. Last year, in some ways, was preventive. The buyers, who had wa...

Cara Cobble Trantham – Page 2 – My love affair with words and God.
https://caractrantham.wordpress.com/page/2
My love affair with words and God. The Face of a Thief. October 12, 2015. I was helping the last customers at 5:35. It wasn’t completely unusual to have customers there after hours, but this time I was appreciative to be making a good sale and making someone happy. As I was ringing them up, I heard the bell sound again and cringed. I had been so busy helping the couple that I forgot to turn off the open sign. Maybe they will be quick. And then I woke up. What the heck that was. Fear is such a finicky thi...

The Triumph in the Tombstone – Cara Cobble Trantham
https://caractrantham.wordpress.com/2016/09/17/the-triumph-in-the-tombstone
My love affair with words and God. The Triumph in the Tombstone. September 17, 2016. September 17, 2016. We moms spend a whole lot of time worrying about our babes. Do they feel well? Why aren’t they sleeping? How can we make them like vegetables? Are they keeping up with other kids their age? What is laying around the house that could hurt them? These concerns are all normal and necessary. So much so, that if a mother was NOT thinking these things, it could border on child abuse. My daughter not sleeping.

May 2016 – Cara Cobble Trantham
https://caractrantham.wordpress.com/2016/05
My love affair with words and God. May 15, 2016. The Israelites were the most blessed children of God. They saw myriads of miracles, heard the Lord communicate with them, and observed His power close-up. He sent them a deliverer to pull them out of bondage and gave them a personal travel guide to lead them to a land that He promised they would inherit. They would either be killed, or at best, taken back to captivity. But we are often no different. We, too, experience oppression and time in the desert....
