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.

Source of Supernatural Strength

Mary’s strong faith is not really surprising when you realize what she was thinking. We get a glimpse of what the source of her faith from her poetic response to the huge change of plans in her life. What we see is a mind saturated with references to other prayers and songs by women in the Old Testament in response to God’s gracious and powerful intercession.  These women include Miriam, Deborah, Judith, and most importantly, Hannah. 
Take time to carefully read and reflect on her response. It was the source of her supernatural strength and it can be yours as well.  Do you have such a view of God?  If not, how can you saturate your mind with this kind of biblical knowledge of who God is? 
And Mary said “My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,  for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.  
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;  for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him  from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”  Luke 1:46-55
