    ‘Tis the Season for a Blogging Break

    by Lois Flowers July 1, 2025
    by Lois Flowers

    Inside: As my healing continues, it seems like a good time to hit the pause button here. ~

    I’m not sure how it’s already July, but here we are.

    It’s summer according to the traditional calendar, but I haven’t quite settled on a name for the season I’m in.

    Recovery mode applies. I’ve said it before but it bears repeating. I’m extremely grateful for the healing work God has done and continues to do in my mind and body. I’ve come a long way in the three months since my bike accident, that’s for sure.

    Even so, I’m in the middle of a process that takes time. Slow and steady wins the race, as the saying goes.

    Sometimes, though, I feel like I’m living in a waiting room. In certain areas, my progress feels like two steps forward and three steps back.

    In the midst of all that, I’ve sensed the nudge to take a break from blogging. Just for a month or two, I think.

    I have some projects I’d like to complete in July, as well as some words to write. Whether those words turn into blog posts remains to be seen.

    Come what may, I’m trusting that God will fulfill His purposes for this season of my life. And I’m trusting that He will do the same for you.

    by Lois Flowers May 20, 2025

    Inside:  Last week, I ended my thoughts about God’s sovereignty with the truth expressed in Romans 8:28—that in “all things God works for the good of those who love Him.” Let’s explore this further today. ~ If you’re anything like me, you might find the idea that God’s sovereignty encompasses …

Welcome

Welcome

As long as we’re here on planet Earth, God has a good purpose for us. This is true no matter how old we are, what we feel on any given day or what we imagine anyone else thinks about us. It can be a struggle, though, to believe this and live like it. It requires divine strength and eternal hope. And so I write, one pilgrim to another, in an effort to encourage us both as we navigate the long walk home together.
