      I hear the Lord say: Slowing down, meditating on My Truth, My Word, and My promises is bringing you much joy. You are experiencing My shalom peace. Enjoying nature, taking photographs, listening to bird song, planning restful days: it offers a new attitude toward life in general. The chores and lists are manageable. No more…

      I hear the Lord say: When life gets a bit ‘rocky’, and you feel like your boat is tipping or taking on water, remind yourself “God is with me.” When the path ahead has rocks, boulders, or mud to slow you down, say to yourself “God is with me.” When the walk through the valley…
