Maybe all you need is a fresh look at Jesus
The cure for our weariness, the comfort we need, the spiritual energy we lack and the peace we so want are all found in a fresh look at our Lord. The following posts are meant to refocus our eyes on Jesus.
If you’re too weary to read, click on the audio option. Then lean back, close your eyes and just listen. Pause the audio where indicated and play the song suggested or a favorite of your own. Lose yourself for a while in thoughts of your Lord. He will wash over you like Spring rain.

Better yet, get a group of ministry-living sisters together, spread out in a candlelit room, lean back, read and listen together. Embrace the beauty of looking at your Lord along side your sisters; of feeling His presence both individually and together.
At 27 Pastors’ Wives Gatherings we call this Corporate Solitude.

Soaring on the Wings of the Wind
Don’t feel like reading? Click on audio. Kinda feels like a Cinderella story. The one about the shepherd boy secretly anointed King.

Addy had grown up in Beirut during the war and though she often talked about her fear-ridden childhood, she also lamented how much she missed Lebanon. I found that intriguing so I asked questions.
