John 3:8
"The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

About Me
- Cheeky Church Lady in Training
- I'm a cheeky evangelical Christian single Mom who values diverse perspectives. I think laughter is essential, faith is a gift built on questioning, and judgment is the purview of God alone. I'm banking on the belief that God has a sense of humor.

The wind is important. The message sometimes clear, sometimes unclear, somtimes I am afraid of encouragment to move forward out of my comfort zone as the wind is guiding me.
I have failed to listen to the wind, it blows still.
I am opening to the wind, I am embracing and releasing my fear, mustering all the courage and strength I can find. (Today my courage and strength are in short supply.) I am determined.
A.J. Jacobs wrote the book "The Year of Living Biblically" In it he quotes Rabbi Andy Bachman sharing a midrash about the parting of the red sea, "We all think of the scene in The Ten Commandments movie with Charlton Heston, where Moses lifted up his rod, and the waters rolled back. But this midrash says that's not how it happened. Moses lifted up his rod, and the sea did not part. The Egyptians were closing in, and the sea wasn't moving. So a Hebrew named Nachshon just walked into the water. He wades up to his ankles, then his knees, then his waist, then his shoulders. And right when the water was about to get up to his nostrils, the sea parted. The point is, sometimes miracles occur only when you jump in."
And so I shall.
