Advent Reading
Isaiah 35:1-10; Luke 5:17-26
Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.
Luke 1:78-79
Light
Living Water
Restorer
Healer
Peacemaker
"Forever Fresh and Refreshing Source, Living Water, Bright Garment of Dew, descend now and always in one endless, life-bestowing flow. Bring to us those waters that forever quench our thirst. Bring those waters, we pray, to the deserts of our hearts, that from their parched soil, life may spring anew. And more that this, enable that life-giving flow to pour from ourselves to enliven all around us. In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit," (Scott Cairns - God With Us)
Amen

Oh Mary, your post is once again so timely. Your artwork is filled with hope. I am going to read the prayer you posted over and over today. Yesterday in church a man was talking to me about being like water and what that could mean. Thank you!
Hi Mary I'm so glad I found your blog (or I guess that you found mine haha)! And I'm so excited for Seth and Brooke! :-) yay!
Taking in huge gulps of this
living springwater,
swallowing,
swallowing,
swallowing
...especially in the parts of me
where I'm still sitting out my life
in the shadows,
not really seeing,
hungry for light.
Oh thank you,
Light,
for coming:)
