Day 17 – Heal Our Land

Posted on September 17, 2013 by marriageonamission

Heavenly Father, we cry out for healing across our nation. Shootings in Washington DC…stabbings in Texas…floods in Colorado…all far too much for our humanity to bear. We plead for justice, we pray for healing, we cry out for deliverance and a mighty awakening. In … Continue reading →

The Grief of God’s Mission

Posted on April 22, 2012 by marriageonamission

My life passage is Isaiah 61:1-4. Powerful? Yes. Purposeful? Absolutely. But, on nights like this…when grief grabs at my gut and anguish atrophies every muscle of faith I can muster…I don’t care about power or purpose.  I just want God … Continue reading →

Some say, “GRIEF IS LIFE’S GREATEST TEACHER.” But, I’m not far enough along to agree or pass judgment… My heart-wound raw and gaping. Because frankly…if I had my way in the world tonight… I’d alter the anguish of my journey.  I’d pick … Continue reading →

I don’t like it when things get broken. Don’t like it one bit. But, God has a hankering for broken things. He has to have them. He searches for messes beyond measure. Because NOTHING lies beyond His restorative reach. NOTHING. … Continue reading →

Posted on October 16, 2011 by marriageonamission

When a mission comes to a close, we’re like two horses headed for the feed barn. Hungry for home. We unload. Unpack. Unwind. Reflect. Regroup. Recharge. But, the ecstacy of living out our call is quickly diminished by the news of … Continue reading →
