The word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see the branch of an almond tree.” Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it.”

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

We were wonderland-bound
a place called Cape Hope…
each of us desperately needed
hope, clarity, peace, direction
a future that offered more
than we’d experienced last year…
when we arrived noonday sun
was blindingly bright, glittering
on every inch of packed snow, ice–
we passed three churches
before seeing the one we’d chosen
by way of same dream we’d
had in past month–
it was hardly more than a chapel
yet the Cross in the window
above the altar embraced
entire interior, the mosaic
fairly vibrating with colors…
we were on our knees
heads bowed, mute tears
coursing down our cheeks–
Everything will be alright…
these were words we heard
from the Voice within silence…
Sovereign God of grace, mercies
ever-faithful throughout the ages…
His hand was turning the wheel–
