Jesus, Still Lead On

Jesus, still lead on
till our rest be won.
And, although the way be cheerless,
we will follow, calm and fearless;
guide us by Your hand
to our Fatherland.

If the way be drear,
if the foe be near,
let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
let not faith and hope forsake us;
for, thro' many a woe,
to our home we go.

When we seek relief
from a long-felt grief–
when oppressed by new temptations,
Lord, increase and perfect patience.
Show us that bright shore
where we weep no more.

Jesus, still lead on
till our rest be won;
Heav'nly Leader, still direct us,
still support, console, protect us,
till we safely stand
in our Fatherland.

- by Nicolaus Ludwig, Graf von Zinzendorf; translated by Jane Borthwick

Blank

Blank paper. Blank thoughts.
Blank walls.

Add color. Add movement.
Add dreams.

Inspiration is found in small things.
In mundane things.

Quiet evenings. Twinkling stars.
Early mornings. Sprouting trees.

Life is no longer a blank
when you remember to see
the creativity all around you.

Cover Reveal: Growing in Love

As I announced earlier this year, my next book is going to be published later this year. It is releasing on August 6.

Fruit trees bear fruit. That is what defines them.
Also, fruit trees are known by the kind of fruit they bear. Apple trees bear apples; pear trees bear pears; and orange trees bear oranges. We can determine how healthy or unhealthy a fruit tree is by the health and abundance (or lack thereof) of the fruit on the tree. We can get an idea of what nutrients the tree has or is lacking by the state of the fruit on the tree.

John writes the letter of 1 John to help his audience take a look at their lives — at their fruit — and evaluate how healthy they are spiritually.

There is still time to join the launch team. You can do so here.

Also, I hope to be announcing preorder details and preorder bonuses soon! Keep checking back here or sign up for my newsletter to get the information in your inbox.
