AT HOME
To those who have followed my blog over the years, I want to apologize for so long between posts. I've been working full time (economics) and made a major change in churches. My new church home has provided me a wonderful place to worship, fellowship, and learn.
John 15:5-8 in The Message says:
"I am the Vine, you
are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the
relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant.
Separated, you can't produce a thing. Anyone who separates from me is
deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you make
yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be
sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon. This is
how my Father shows who he is—when you produce grapes, when you mature
as my disciples.
I've been able to also make myself "at home" again with the Father. Believe me, it makes all the difference in the world.
I hope to return here to Words from the Heart and share how God has "grown" me during this time I've been away.
Until then, abundant blessings,
Francine
