The Cycle of Dreams
I looked down and saw that the lilac bloom in my hand was crushed under the intensity of my prayer. I didn’t want to pray it, I hardly even believed the prayer, but I knew I had to. Yet, something in me was clinging tight to the lilac, to my dreams of a springtime wedding, to my hopes for a husband and partner to materialize from thin air.
Take Up Your Cross
I was just done cooking dinner last night when my husband called me. “Can you come help me finish this section of the fencing project?” Always a man with a mission, I knew how much it would mean to him to have his goals met by evening. The path through the woods was rough, with…

[life.bread]
At this very moment it is dark outside and snow is sprinkling down. Soft white flakes that glisten and sparkle when the porch light hits them. I just set the bread to rise for supper. One loaf will be for tomorrow and another is a cheesy garlic onion concoction that will be eaten this evening…

She gives a prompt word and bloggers write for five-minutes straight, without editing, whatever comes to mind. It gives a chance to practice writing, loosen up perfectionism and catch a glimpse into the hearts and minds of…
I don’t think I’ve ever read ALL of the Narnia books….I think I stopped somewhere. But I love CS Lewis….such a source of wisdom.
Oh, go back and read them! 🙂 They are so, so good. I cry every time. (of course, I’m all passionate about using parables to explain Biblical truths and C.S. Lewis is a master at that…)
CS Lewis is one of my favorites! I bought the whole set of Narnia Chronicles for my kids and ended up reading them myself! 🙂
I love it! 🙂 I read them as a kid but I get urges every couple years and end up re-reading them…
Love CS Lewis! What a legacy He has left for us… PRAISE GOD! Thanks for sharing Natasha! 🙂 ~ Blessings, Amy
