Calmness

Posted on June 30, 2019 by Rachel D. Lyne

Lately, I’ve been anxious. In my mind there are 12 plates spinning while I’m balancing a pencil on my nose, trying not to fall off a rickety table while on my tip toes. The Bible speaks a lot about anxiety … Continue reading →

Humility

Posted on June 28, 2019 by Rachel D. Lyne

Thinking of Time

Posted on June 15, 2019 by Rachel D. Lyne

Our cultural structured ways of making schedules, agendas, and timelines can be overwhelming. In an Instant Era, it’s now become what we are used to and what’s expected. Fast-paced. Instant results. Quick decisions. I’ve often thought that as humans, (being … Continue reading →

The Architect

Posted on June 13, 2019 by Rachel D. Lyne

My young child has decided to be an architect. Fantastic with building blocks and analytical engineering – he’s destined to build! But sometimes, he miscalculates. Often, he has great ideas, albeit impractical. But what about God? They say God is … Continue reading →

Inward Eyes

One of Us

Posted on June 5, 2019 by Rachel D. Lyne

I am so thankful that I know and have a relationship with a God and King who desired to be with us by becoming one of us. So many people have an idea that God is distant; uncaring. This couldn’t … Continue reading →
