Seeds & Raindrops

On By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn Prayer, Suffering & Hard Times, TrustLeave a comment

When you think back on this past year, what comes to mind?

I have opened my curtains many mornings this past year, thinking on the verse, “Pray continually, being watchful in it with thanksgiving,” (Colossians 4:2). I want to keep choosing a heart posture of watching to see God at work! But as 2019 ends, I don’t yet see the answer to prayer in this area of need, and this year ends without closure.

What have you been praying? In what area of your life is this year coming to a close without answers?

Everyday Thankfulness

On By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn BEING, Connect Throughout the Day, Gratitude, PrayerLeave a comment

Recently I did a marathon of errands. I usually have a list of errands to do in a trip, so I can be more efficient. As I drove down the road and stopped into Target, a variety of thankfulnesses came to mind: “Thank You for the errands I can get done.  Thank You I can walk. Thank You for money to buy groceries. Thank You for clean water.” These are all little, everyday things in my life. But they would not be so little if I didn’t have them! With this burst of thankfulness came a burst of energy. My day is full of good gifts! IMG_20171212_101610755_HDR (2)

Prayer is Dependence

On By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn Connect Throughout the Day, Prayer, THE SOURCE OF LOVE2 Comments

God is the Source of all good things!  All things are from Him, through Him, and to Him (Rom 11:36).  And prayer is how we stay connected to Him throughout our days.  He is the One who causes the tree to bear fruit or turn colors; the tree does not try hard to do this.  Similarly, when we stay close to God in dependence, He accomplishes things in our lives.IMG_20171113_140724989 Continue reading “Prayer is Dependence” →

Reading Scripture Relationally

On By Kathryn FeatherstoneIn Reading Scripture, THE SOURCE OF LOVELeave a comment

A friend asked me recently, “how do you read Scripture…?”  The first thing that came to mind is that I read it relationally and for the heart.  In relationship, we come to know another and be known.  

God desires relationship with us (take a peek at my previous post, Love is Relational, for more on this).  And as we grow in relationship with God, knowing Him and His love for us, we naturally grow in loving and relating with people.
