SWIRLS OF NURTURE

Sometimes I feel like a creator, sometimes I feel like a teacher,  sometimes I feel like a worshipper, 
sometimes I just feel three worlds swirling, colliding, morphing into new worlds . . 
. . . yet with each swirl the need to nurture . . .
. . . nurture midst fragile creations, vulnerable artists, emotive questioning soundscapes, wondering and wandering thoughts, midst a church wondering how to create in the image of the One who created all.

Peace when circumstances do not improve?

​The Easter story reminds us that peace during trauma can be experienced even when circumstances do not change. It is logical and normal to desire that circumstances will improve, and that disaster will end. 

Circumstances did not improve for the disciples. In fact, the possibility of persecution increased.
But for Jesus peace is a reality even when trauma and crisis continue.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33 

It is the same truth we find in Isaiah 54:10. 
“For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

God’s peace and steadfast love will not be removed even if the disaster destroys mountains.
