CONNECT::

This summer has been an amazing journey of CONNECTing.  

Mother-Daughter trip::  When my mom and I travel together, it always bring a renewed CONNECTion and understanding with one another.  Our drive for 8 hours to CONNECT with my aunt, her sister, birthed a greater love-bond between three women at 3 different stages of life.  Seeds were planted.

"Doing school all summer" plans were providentially changed to doing "nothing but fun all summer". Life-giving plans brought a CONNECTing spirit that was unsurpassed.  Birthdays, Summer camps, Kids Faith Conference, Youth Faith Conference, brought connection between my children in ways I could have never imagined.  Those CONNECTions brought deeper connections with a Mighty Lord and Holy Spirit, new friends in faith and a courage that did not exist before. 

I CONNECTed with friends.  Long-time friend.  Homeschool friend.  Aunt-Mentor-Sister friend. Family, church family, again. CONNECT was the banner over me. And I am healed and restored because of it.  CONNECT was the banner over my marriage as dates were had and my husband and I were blessed to find peace and restoration with one another.  

CONNECT is what I yearn to do more and more every day with a Father, Abba [daddy] in a deeper, more intimate way.  CONNECT with Jesus, the One and Only.  Again, I am healed, restored and made whole in His presence.  

CONNECT brings thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving brings hope.  Hope brings Faith.  Faith makes me whole.

And he said to her, 

“Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”
