The invitation this morning.... 12  " Return to your Fortress , you prisoners of hope ; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you."   Zechariah 9   

"The message--I am someone God so loves--is a message we are likely to hear from God in contemplation...God is so anxious to tell us this that the only time God is pictured in a hurry in Scripture is when the father ran down the trail to the prodigal son, "threw his arms around him and kissed him." --Jan Johnson

Where is it?   What is it like there?  Where is the path?  I would love to hear about your tailor-made "haven"....and help you touch base there... He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed.  They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them   to their desired haven .  Psalm 107:29 & 30

You crown the year with your bounty ,      and your carts overflow with abundance. Psalm 65:11 What defines bounty for you?  What "fills your cart"?  As I am taking a fresh breath in of 2013, I am asking questions. I want to focus my laser a good bit and am craving some contemplative time to turn in and find some revelation, wonder, and clarity.   I am praying your heart is called to find the poise it needs to make room and invite the greatest abundance.  I would adore to sit and have you share such with me. In an effort to implement a whole lot of goodness as 2013 whooshes in, I've been making a few changes.  You may have received an invitation email to log in and register with Jordan Stones online.  Maybe you haven't  yet...it is a work in progress.

Community Workshop: Cracking the Hunger Code with Dr. Anita Johnston I'm so excited to announce that Anita Johnston, author of Eating in the Light of the Moon, will be facaliting a community workshop for women struggling with food, body image, and eating difficulties here in Atlanta.   If you have spoken to me about this topic, you have heard the flavor of Anita's teaching.  I consider her as a mentor who has shaped so much of my understanding of food and body image. Focus Treatment Centers is hosting the workshop with Agnes Scott College on September 29th from 10:00am- 12:30pm. The event will be located at Agness Scott's Luchsinger Fireplace Lounge and the cost is $25 (free for students with id) and is open to both clinical professionals and the community at large. We just ask that anyone attending complete the registration below prior to attendance. http://focustreatme ntcenters. com/cracking- the-hunger- code/ < http://focustreatme ntcenters. co...

I feel my “tent stakes” dug in deep and holding.  I am trying to wait patiently as my outside world catches up to my unseen world, where today I feel lots of expansion and blessing.  I am feeling taught and instructed and peaceful around some bends and updates to my practice—this vehicle God uses to connect me with you.  Please keep reading for some cool expansions through which I am excited to join with you through.  Also, keep reading for what I hope is for you, like it is me, a satisfying little dewdrop in God’s Word. In a study I am reading, I found myself stuck on these verses.  I pray for a lot of things.  This sweetly timed note from the Lord in Habakkuk teaches me to not miss the blessing of anticipating and expecting (with determination) His work to be displayed.   I am pulling the instructions of these verses in…join me in pulling them in your unseen world as well. Habakkuk   2:  I will stand upon my post of ob...
