Wonderful poem! I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you and your family. (Out of town for our daughter's wedding.) We will miss you! Godspeed!
Yes! After a recent doctor's visit and some medication that kept me up at night, my mind was spiraling and worrying. I was praying and I heard God say: "Am I enough for you? Is my suffering enough for you? Is my blood enough for you?" And suddenly I was like "oh dang" lol. I didn't realize I wasn't allowing God to be my everything. The blood covers my suffering and I can rest in that. Like you (and Kempis) said, "everything is found on the cross" -- Really great line! Thanks for sharing this!
Hi Anna-Marie, sorry to hear about your medication—I hope that gets better, or is swapped for something that doesn’t keep you up at night. I can imagine how difficult that must be.
Thank you for your reflection and for noticing Thomas à Kempis’s line. The Imitation is filled with lines that stop me in my tracks. I highly recommend reading it.

Thanks Kerry! I’m sad we didn’t get to say goodbye too. Let’s stay in touch.

Let’s collaborate sometime!
Thanks! Me too 😆
It definitely sounds worth the read and I hope to get my hands on a copy!
That would be great! I still feel new to Substack, and like I don't know a lot, but would be happy to do some sort of collab sometime 😊
Awesome! I’ll be in touch about possible scripture passages to reflect on and some dates.
Missing you!
Thanks, Janet! Miss you too!
