Peace and Joy are Not Options
Today’s subject on Abiding Space Blog is based on the Scripture Romans 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. What strikes me in this Scripture is that as believers, a part of God’s kingdom, we cannot opt out of kingdom […]
Faith Moving Forward
This past weekend I was the speaker at an annual Anglican Women’s Conference. My topic was Faith Moving Forward and I want to share with you some insights that I gleaned as I prepared for my time with them.

Dreaming with God
Have you ever thought about dreaming with God? What I mean by that is taking time to hear from God– maybe on a walk, or on a retreat, making space to hear specifically from the Lord and what is on His heart.

Some of you reading this blog today may be feeling joyless. We all feel that way at times, but what I have grown to realize, is the definition of joy is inner contentment from giving rather than getting. Joy does come from external circumstances such as the birth of a child, or a job promotion […]

Mary was weeping… and then rejoicing when she discovered that Jesus was alive. All hope was buried in the tomb but the grave could not hold him. Today is the Monday after Easter […]

Empowering Fear
I am increasingly aware of how easy it is to empower fear. Fear is a nasty, life-sucking, counterfeit to love. Scripture tells us that God’s perfect love casts out fear. That sounds easy. Just ask God to cast out any fear that you have and voila! No, it does not work that way. God is able to cast […]
