A Tower of Trust

Worry Wart > Trusting Tower > Refuge of Rest Part 1

October 15, 2019 by admin 29 Comments

Worry Wart?

Pray, taking authority over every possible distraction. When we first moved to North Carolina we attended a church in our immediate neighborhood – it was there that I made a commitment to the Lord that I was no longer going to live “on the fence.” By that, I mean, one foot in the world and… [Read More]

The Sweetness of Harvest

October 9, 2018 by admin 32 Comments

Harvest Time!

Last week a family member stood in our kitchen gazing at the word on our chalkboard. R E A P “Why do you have REAP on your chalkboard? It seems such a grim word.” I suppose her thoughts went to “grim reaper.” Anything but. You can read about my oneword2018 here and how the Lord… [Read More]

Quietude: August 27, 2017

Photo: Cascades Waterfall, Blue Ridge Parkway, NC. By Tammi Bare Today’s scripture is special to me – Colossians 1.10 is my life verse! I have it memorized in the NKJV with a Susan twist but the NLT translation is quite lovely. Our “praying scripture” encompasses Colossians 1.10-12 Then the way _____ lives will always honor… [Read More]

Wanna Sow Some Good Seed?

July 5, 2017 by admin 12 Comments

I’ve been acquainted with this smiling face for almost twenty years. Erik Haviland, a friend of my “other son” Lane’s, was on my prayer list for months. A super talented, creative guy had everything going for him except one really important (said loosely) ‘thing.’ He didn’t have Jesus. So, Lane, and a group of pray-ers… [Read More]

Rushing is the one thing I did not want to do in this tiny house move. Rushing only brings negative results, in my humble opinion. I’ve also learned that rushing can be miles outside God’s good, acceptable, and perfect plan for our life.

Slow and steady wins the race – unless you’re an Olympic runner. And, most of us aren’t.

Is God into rushing?

I think not. I mean, after all, He is God and outside of time – He is behind the scenes YET, is the Center of it.

He is orchestrating every finite detail of my life, without rush. On the days I cry out to Him, “Com’on already Lord just do it!” He takes the slow and steady.

And then suddenly!

The day is here. The thing has happened. The life was changed. With no rush.

Days, months, maybe years of praying and believing – and then bam, it’s here.

Enjoy the process…

I want to take the time to enjoy the process. The thinking. The planning. The working. And, then sit back and enjoy the results. That’s how I work and at times I think that’s how our good, good Father works.

I want to enjoy the journey. I want to enjoy the hunt!

How about you? Turtle or rabbit?
