Songs for my journey...: February 2013
http://songsformyjourney.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Songs for my journey. Saturday, February 9, 2013. As I have more moments like this lately - experiencing aloneness as a space where my best self can emerge, rather than being crippled by my worst insecurities - I have hope that God is not finished with me yet, and that I will continue to learn what it means to be good alone.

Songs for my journey...: November 2012
http://songsformyjourney.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Songs for my journey. Saturday, November 17, 2012. That’s what this conference was called, but it’s about more than just that. It’s about facing all of our privileges and the power structures that we’re not even aware of – until someone gives it a face, a voice, a story. Who was not even allowed to sit outside an establishment where I was privileged to belong. And what about outrage over a system that makes it possible – even acceptable – for such disparities to exist? Monday, November 5, 2012. Things ab...

Songs for my journey. Sunday, January 30, 2011. But by the end, as his owner/best friend Emily Elizabeth is holding him and scratching him under the chin, she says "I love you, Clifford" - and he realizes, love is this happy feeling of being with people who care about you. Saturday, January 8, 2011. Things that give me Life. 2) Celebrating - Being caught up in joy over the special and the ordinary is so important, letting belly laughs and ridiculousness work as medicine to revive the soul. 4) Walking aro...

Songs for my journey...: Letting Go of Control...and Learning to Trust
http://songsformyjourney.blogspot.com/2011/11/letting-go-of-controland-learning-to.html
Songs for my journey. Monday, November 28, 2011. Letting Go of Control.and Learning to Trust. But the truth is, I'm not in control. Let me repeat that, for myself: I AM NOT IN CONTROL. I can't control whether work will be slow or crazy or exhausting. I can't control the relationships in my life or my family. I can't control schedules (mine or other people's). I can't even control my moods or how I'm feeling most of the time. To you I give my life, not just the parts I want to. Your thoughts are higher th...

Songs for my journey...: April 2011
http://songsformyjourney.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Songs for my journey. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. I have a vision of people of different races, languages, ages, backgrounds, and genders coming together around a shared table, children breaking the ice with their games and laughter, conversations starting, connections being made, stereotypes breaking down, relationships being formed – and God’s Kingdom coming in the midst of it. Kingdom Comes" - Sara Groves. When anger fills your heart. When in your pain and hurt. You find the strength to stop. That's a ...

Songs for my journey...: Rooted in Community
http://songsformyjourney.blogspot.com/2013/07/rooted-in-community.html
Songs for my journey. Monday, July 1, 2013. What does it mean to be rooted in community? In a word –. That is what makes me feel most at home and most connected here. Yet it goes even deeper than that. The nature of life brings changes to relationships, as people move on or move away. What does that mean for community? The beauty of it is that community can transcend place, and rootedness is not dependent on particular people. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Tales of Oxford Circle. Let's journey ...

Songs for my journey...: December 2010
http://songsformyjourney.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Songs for my journey. Sunday, December 26, 2010. Trying to figure out the Love of God. Why on earth would God want to be in relationship with people like me who are so messed up? The neat thing is, that living in God's Love has implications for everything. Not just how I love my friends, but how I interact with strangers and how I do my work and how I dream about the future and how I live in the present. My prayer right now is that God would be teaching me how to live in His Love every single day.

Songs for my journey. Sunday, January 15, 2012. Moving from fear to love. But I cannot live from a place of fear - it's a prison that traps me, and from which I act reactively and compulsively. But love is the opposite of fear - and I long for the freedom of living out of God's love rather than being controlled by my own fear. Henri Nowen speaks to this:. By Your Side" - Tenth Avenue North. Why are you striving these days. Why are you trying to earn grace. Why are you crying. Let me lift up your face.
