An Invitation to Eavesdrop: onward

delighting in the unexpected treasures of today...

gems hidden from my knowledge but not from His.

Thankful for the love He so vividly expresses through risky obedience.

Radically impacted by hearing ears... faith turned to action.

Starting the day with bold declarations... "this will be a day of blessing,"and a day of blessing it was.

The smalls and I had a life changing lesson from a tender warrior.

She fights for encouragement, and her royalty shines...

She teaches truth... she teaches alive... she teaches risk.

She teaches out of the cost of her own story.

The work of the word spills out of her and into all the hearing ones.

We are fed and wonder is stirred. His word is active...

in the written...

in the Beauty's proclamation...

in us.

We listen with anticipation... ears open with hope... hearts burning for more of the alive...

princess hands bearing lessons.

Words filled with hidden treasures of their own... so many no man could discover them all.

But the storybook brings an invitation with its poetry. The call to defeat the seemingly impossible.

The princess of Ridgegate Lane is much like Peter when it comes to battles... I am quick with passion and am known to lop.

So... the call strikes... it speaks new... "leave your swords"... in this battle... only walk.

So again... we heed the call of the Teaching One...

and we walk...

We travel through earth's gripping mess..

We circle around memories that forever mark... looking back has it's place too...

so careful not to forget how God has used the small seeds that produce through death.

and keeping our eyes forever on the fruit that is coming.

Onward we walk.

And just like around Jericho... onward we shall march for seven days... we will follow our Joshua... the one who heard and the one that leads out of obedience. Taking note of every whisper...
