Seasons

For everything there is a season… There are times in our lives when we wish we could figure out what God is up to. Without a doubt, I rest in the knowledge that He is forever with me, watching over me and loving me. Still there are those times when I really wish He would simply say “Linda this is what I am now doing in your life.”


The last two years have been difficult ones for me. The lost of my mom, the lost or rest from ministry obligations and now my husband’s early retirement has indeed been hard to reason with. Our life style has now drastically changed. In all these things surely God is with us…

Having said all this, I now ask for your prayers. Prayers that God will indeed enlighten our path showing us what is to be in this season.

Webs of the Heart

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a fanatic when it comes to a clean house. So imagine my surprise when I found this spider web. Pulling back the curtain to allow some light into the room, there it was. This comparison quickly came to my mind as did the scripture.


How often do the webs of life form on our hearts? Webs like hurt, unforgiveness, and doubt. By the looks of the spider web it had to have been there for awhile. How often do we simply overlook the webs forming on our heart? With ease I will remove the web from the curtain but not so easily are the webs of the heart cleaned away. We must call in the Master of cleaning hearts to get this job done…

Father, search me and know my heart; test me and know the webs of my heart. Clean away the webs that time has left, the ones that have gone unnoticed for far too long. Create in me a pure (clean) heart. Give to me a steadfast spirit, a steadfast desire to seek you. Give to me a steadfast spirit to know you more. Amen (let it be)…


Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Ps. 139:23


Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Ps. 51:10
