Esther in Ephesians – For Such a Time As This!

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/.

But it also sheds more light into the Woman of the Song of Songs. I hope you enjoy it!

A Day In The Life Of … by Cheryl McGrath

 

I’m not on top of things today Lord. I’m more Martha than Mary. I’m sure you’ve noticed. So many things weighing me down and distracting me. It’s not where I want to be, you know? There’s so much to be thankful for….and I am. It’s so selfish of me not to be living …

Gifted With Weakness

The following is a straight-forward and passionate piece that a friend in Germany wrote, and shared with me. It seems very fitting at the juncture here in the Song of Songs, and I am honored to be able to share it with you. :)
