For the past two weeks my family and I have been mourning the loss of my father-in-law Paul. Tomorrow and Thursday we will honor his life and lay him to rest beside his beloved wife Maureen, who preceded him to heaven. From the moment the Lord brought me into the Lueddeke family 8 years ago, Pops loved and embraced me. Always willing to help, always willing to share his best handwritten recipes, always willing to say “I love you” and always taking the time to ask my husband, “how’s Sara doing?”, Pops became the father I longed for, having lost my own in my early 20’s. Pops you have been a gift from God to me. Your kindness, thoughtfulness and wholehearted love changed my life. I am grateful to be your daughter. I know I will see you again, at the side of Jesus in eternity. Until then, you will be missed, and lovingly remembered in our hearts forever.

...so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13 NASB⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Are you feeling hopeless rather than hopeful in certain areas of your life? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You're not alone. I am generally a hopeful person but realized today that I needed to pray for vision. The Lord's vision for the things I'm creating but can't yet see the fullness of. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that brought me to the place of understanding I needed more hope. Can you relate? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If so, may we be encouraged together! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our Lord is intimately aware of both our frame and our assignments. Therefore He has graciously given us Holy Spirit as our Helper. Hallelujah! :) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here's one, which I pray will be a blessing to you today.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Lord, give us vision and hope for that which we don’t yet see. Forgetting what lies behind, help us to fix our eyes on You, so that we may walk in the good works you've prepared beforehand for each of us. May we be ever mindful of Holy Spirit who dwells within us. And may we overflow with joy and peace. In Jesus' name. Amen." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Can I tell you a secret? I love seeking the Lord.

Can I tell you a secret? I love seeking the Lord. So, this quiet Sunday morning I’ve given myself the gift of reflection and connection. May these books also help you get still and listen for our Good Shepherd’s leading for this next week. I’ve just started my new #nextrightthingjournal this month. I’m eager to capture those nudges and sometimes booming impressions in way that gently guides me into the next week and season. What to lay down...what to pick up...what is life giving and what is life draining... These other two books..the Bible (of course) and the devotional - Sparking Gems from the Greek, have been faithful companions for my heart as I burrow into the loving arms of Jesus. May your Sunday be filled with the sweetness of His Presence, and May His hand lead you into fullness of joy! I’d love to know...what’s your favorite life giving book or practice? Dm me or share the love 💕 by putting it in the comments below!

🙋🏽‍♀️Jesus says, “Come to Me all who are weary, and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest for your soul.” This is a promise He is able to keep.

✨ These photos were taken in 2017 in Israel at the garden of Gethsemene, the place where our Lord Jesus prayed, and wept just like we do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💞 We serve a God who is well acquainted with suffering. Our Lord Jesus endured the death of a thief on the cross, and rose again, for the joy set before Him, eternity with those who have and will put their faith in Him.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even when we did not yet know our Savior and Messiah, we were surely known by Him.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💞 He sits above the circle of the earth, at the right hand of the Father, forever making intercession for us. He weeps with those who weep and mourns with those who mourn.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👸🏽 As we pray, we are invited to partner with Him in labor for those who are not only in our hearts but on His. What an honor we have been given as sons and daughters of God.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💞 Be encouraged as you carry both joy in your heart and a burden for the world around you, you labor not alone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛌🏽 There is rest for you today in His Presence.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Christ, you are part of an eternal family from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation praying for His kingdom to come and His will to be done…that none should perish but all would have eternal life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💞 And as you do, I pray that He would encounter your heart with His great love and bring a time of refreshing to your soul.

🌅 Over the past few days, the Lord has been impressing John 1:1 on my heart. I feel Him saying...this is an invitation to create with The Creator. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✍️ Our Lord is a creative God! And we, having been made new in His image create with not only words in the natural, but with HIM, THE Word. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know…It’s really too much to fathom. Too deep to understand. And yet gifted one, He has given you gifts and talents to share with the world. 🎨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌹So I want to extend this invitation to you. 🌹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✍️ If you have words on your heart you’d like to share, pray, put pen to paper, and in His timing, release it into the world! Listen to His still small voice and know that just as the Word was with GOD in the beginning, even now He is with you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
