The Woman At The Well – She’s Not Who You Think She Is

Pamela — Sun, 25 Aug 2024 10:49:06 +0000

The woman at the well in John 4. Who is she? A harlot who goes through men like water? A victim of cruel men who either die or get bored of her? The underlying reasons for those questions are important. But what if we are simply coming to the story with 21st century concerns …

Made Perfect in Love

Pamela — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 22:10:30 +0000

Today I’d like to share a post by guest writer Teague McKamey. The last time I wrote something on the blog, A Tour of a Secret Garden, I illustrated how nature teaches us something about ‘perfection’ — and that it’s attainable in this life.

Jesus also taught this.

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father …

THE SONG – By Guest Author Cheryl McGrath

Pamela — Mon, 06 May 2024 21:36:36 +0000

Listen, be still! Can you hear it? A song carried by the Wind. Such a yearning, longing, indescribable sound. Rising Heavenward. Now soft and barely discernible, now louder, clearer, lifting and falling like waves on the sea. There never was such a sound heard through all the ages this earth has known. You won’t hear …

Esther in Ephesians – For Such a Time As This!

Pamela — Sat, 23 Mar 2024 19:33:04 +0000

Every year when the Jewish holiday “Purim” is celebrated, (which happens to be today, March 24th) I try to revisit a wonder-full article by Charis Psallo, a blogger at https://charispsallo.me/. Having received her permission, I would like to share it with my small list here. It’s so worth a read, and not just because there is a stunning connection between Esther and Ephesians. But it also sheds more light into the Woman of the Song of Songs. I hope you enjoy it!

A Tour of a Secret Garden

Pamela — Sat, 02 Mar 2024 20:47:00 +0000

Simple expressions of love have rippling effects, and even in a “garden enclosed,” life is powerful. It is organic. It can’t help but overflow walls, spread to remote places, and ultimately win even the hardest of hearts.

An Absolute Captivation by T. Austin-Sparks

Pamela — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 00:40:19 +0000

I wonder, dear friends, what you covet and pray for more than anything else. For my own part, my coveting, my praying is more than for anything else, a fresh and mighty captivation of the Lord Jesus, a captivation of Christ. Oh, it is quite true, and we know it, that He is our Life, He is our Savior, He is so much to us and we are right when we say that we could not live without Him. And yet, is there not some margin between that and what I am calling an absolute captivation with Christ?

Journey of Tears

Pamela — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 15:35:52 +0000

This is a poem I was made to recently revisit in a surprising “this-is-the-Lord” sort of way. It doesn’t rhyme, but hopefully the progression comes through. Henna, or Camphire, is a plant metaphor I wrote about a few years back, one that grows in a desert oasis (David fled to one for protection from Saul). …

Upping the Torch Flame

Pamela — Thu, 25 Jan 2024 20:31:23 +0000

Hi Friends and Readers,

A turtle on the way to a finish line once said, “Slow and steady wins the race.” It’s also what I keep repeating as a book project drags on. As for a prediction of when I’ll cross the line…Nah. I’m learning my ‘depth perception’ isn’t always the same as God’s!

Meanwhile, …

The Glory of the Morning Glory

Pamela — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 11:45:11 +0000

There is a plant whose passion and beauty I am bursting to tell you about. As it grew from tiny seed, everything within its reach became a trellis to heaven. There’s even one on the roof of my house, spreading along the electrical line!

The Morning Glory, as it is called, has a lively vine …

Witnessing a Bird Phenomenon, and a Message to God’s People

Pamela — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:11:13 +0000

Hello friends. It’s been awhile since writing here, but it appears to be time to pop in and say “Surprise!” and share something amazing that happened last week. Please pray about what you read here. For me, it was life-changing. But it will need your own personal confirmation and application. But first, a back story: Recently I asked Father why I haven’t received many dreams, insights or revelations in awhile—specifically the kind from nature. Life feels dry, although to some degree, I understand why. I’m heavily committed into writing a book, and it's challenging and time-consuming. But still. I miss the freshness of His presence, you know? The kind of “visitations,” or even “heavenly peeks,” that leave you speechless, yet overflowing. That kind. After asking, the answer came...
