Because sometimes a word chases

Today is my first post  in a new place on these inter-webs.
A few writers and I have held hands and bravely formed a new colony called
Outside the City Gate. We’re hoping it’ll be a place to swap stories and feel a sense of community, no matter where you sit on Sunday morning.

I’ll let you know when you can find my words there~ it will just be every so often. But your will REALLY want to get to know these other writers and guest bloggers we have lined up.

So much GRACE and community happening there.

Many folks cling to a new word in the new year~ one that we feel compelled to move toward, to center us. I have been struggling with my word for this year.

Seriously, it’s like somebody took my voice box out and disconnected the cord that plugs me into God and I’m all mute and helpless.

Last year my words were BELOVED and BRAVE. I forged forward in the wake of these words and through faith did a few new things that made me shake in my boots. I’m like Elijah, with two bold words behind me, tripping into a new year and wanting to run to a cave and hide. . .

******And there’s a book giveaway every week! This week it’s The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning. Don’t miss it~ if you’ve already read it you can share with a friend. My copy is nearly torn in 2 from the number of reads.

Blessings,
