It's so easy to get caught up in the cares of this life...going in so many different directions, and lose focus of what is truly important. Thank you for the needed reminder.

I always appreciate your blog, and the truth that is shared here. Because of recent events, I am struggling not to carry bitterness, and trying to teach my son the same. My son seems to be on the recieveing end of someone else's battle with bitterness, while I find myself trying not to let it take root in my heart. If you let go once, is it possible soemthing may drop a reminder, planting

Oh, so right, Jan! I don't get the chance to read as many blogs as I'd like, including yours, but when I DO get the chance to read your posts, I'm ALWAYS encouraged. Thanks for being a faithful and good encourager.

2009-10-02T10:51:55.085-04:00

I feel as if the last two days, you have written just to me. Withoout knowing me, or where I am at, or why I am weary, the Lord has used you to speak refreshment to my heart. Thank You!

Wow! Thank you for that! I'll be sending a copy of this (which will include a copyright notice) to my mom who is a Gnostic Christian. Aside from myself, my entire family follows that deception. 2 Timothy 4:3,4 pertains. They redefine Christian/OT words but my mom may be able to recognize a little of the Truth you represent in this particular blog entry. Thankfully, because Isaiah 55:11

2009-08-19T09:04:32.447-04:00

Ha, Jan! Great analogy.

"Amazing Grace" is my favorite hymn, and sweet, fresh corn is one of my favorites, too. So fun to see them intertwined here. (I've been known to improvise a few hymns here and there myself.) :-)

Oh, Lord, may our growth ever continue, and may we multiply in the ways that serve Your good will, purpose, and pleasure!

Thanks for your thoughts on this! I've always hated dealing with my feet--never have the time to do the pedicure because I'm too busy, etc. Then I'm embarrassed to wear sandals. Catch-22. If I take care of my feet with the simple perspective of shodding my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, I feel like I would be doing it to honor God instead of honoring my own pride of

Jan, I had a similar experience with cauliflower...ick! Great analogy to those things we hide in our hearts that we pretend are not there...God sees all of it, though!

2009-06-29T09:53:53.803-04:00

Lovely, Jan! So may things in life seem unfair or unequal, but knowing God has it all worked out, that I can trust Him, helps me to accept whatever comes my way.

2009-06-24T09:15:20.842-04:00

Thank you, Jan, for your posts on The Plumb Line! They are such an encouragement to me! Our God is so faithful! My husband and I have been learning that even when things don't go as we think or others think they should that God is still faithful. His faithfulness doesn't mean that bad things won't happen in our lives, but that through all that happens in life, He is there and He

2009-06-17T09:19:27.624-04:00

Oh, what a great reminder to ALWAYS run to Him first with everything that distracts, distresses, or confuses. I often call on Him in times of trouble, but when I can't sleep? Well, not so much! I need to remember that the Lord is ALWAYS there and eager to talk over my troubles and bring His calm and peace into my life. Wonderful post, Jan!

Thank you, Jan. Thank you... ~ linda

"His presence is where confusion cannot remain, where doubt and unbelief are dispelled, and where faith is nurtured and cultivated."
Jan, these words of yours bring me back to the trust I have been studying in Jeremiah of late. Trusting Him, not just 'in Him', does disspell that doubt, the confusion, the unbelief, the fear and the angst. It is only in spending time with

2009-06-02T11:58:14.706-04:00

Jan,
Thanks for your faithfulness to write, write, write! This is a lovely post! I've not been able to do much writing lately due to my schedule with writing for our women's Beit Midrash on Fridays, my 4 kids end of year school activities (which are now over) and a traveling husband.

LORD willing, I'll be able to write more in the coming days!

Rejoice. Pray. Give

That was really beautiful.

2009-05-02T21:57:00.000-04:00

Wow. How could it be that I've not been here in so long? You visited me a long time ago at my blog, and I came back here tonight -- first time in a long time.

Perfect timing. Needing a reminder of grace. You've given me that.

2009-03-31T12:55:00.000-04:00

I love this! In fact, it is truths like this that make the Word so alive and so full! I believe there is NOTHING used by God coincidentally, but rather everything has a meaning that proves to confirm the Word of Truth. The Word is RICH with symbolism that points to the glory of our Creator! Thank yo SO much!

Hi, I enjoyed your post and recently wrote something similar:

We would all do well to seek to know God more. There is so very much to learn about Him and I believe that the really deep revelation knowledge comes from God Himself. Christianity 101 does not teach it and it can't be learned by the
