Blossoms are appearing! The season of songbirds has come, and the cooing of doves is being heard in the land. Song 2:12
My family used to raise doves. Just a pair of them, in a cage. A special trait about them is their loyalty for life, and their focus. When our doves weren’t eating or …

You bring pleasure to me like a sweet smell… Ex. 20:41 . If you have ever loved someone deeply, you understand what it is to long for reminders of them when apart, including smells. Like music and art, fragrances can stir emotions, invoke memories, and keep love aflame. Many of the stronger oils such as …

In a discussion of differences between men and women, I once heard a comical depiction of men and a “cave” that they sometimes emotionally and mentally retreat into. There is apparently nothing in this cave, which is exactly how they like it, and women especially aren’t allowed, (although they try) because if they did get in they would take one look around and begin decorating it with pictures, rugs, and curtains! :-)
Women generally love to decorate, whether it’s their homes, their men, or themselves. I used to think it was a natural feminine trait, but I’m rethinking this, knowing more than ever that deep in the heart of the woman, i.e. the Bride of Christ, there is a desire more powerful than to decorate. It is to be decorated.

O my darling companion, I see you as my mare among Pharaoh’s chariots! Song 1:9
The journey ahead is not for the faint of heart. Courage is needed to survive the heat, and eyes to see what He sees. This is how you will carry Him into His victory!

Confusion, Division, Disarray, Chaos – these are unpleasant words, I know. But I’ve been thinking about them lately in regards to something really interesting that may fit in with the next passage in the Song. I’m really excited to share it soon.
But meanwhile, I’ve been trying to recall examples in the Bible of heated …

Finally! Solomon sends back an answer to the Shulamite about how she can find him. I hope it arrived faster than it took for me to return here. :-) Now the only question remaining is, “Will she venture out?”

There once was a man who lived in a cabin nestled deep in the woods. He had a precious daughter who was fearless, adventurous, and loved being out in nature. One day when she was little, she had the frightening experience of getting lost in the woods for the first time. Panic set in. …

I just returned from a trip, and something happened that I’d like to share. It was so beautiful to me at the moment, that if it wasn’t for the people I got to see, I almost feel it was worth the trip alone to hear it! ….
