This blog is for my spiritual writings. Over the past few months, I have been filling in for my father writing articles in my hometown newspaper. He has written the article for 25 years. This past year, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has been very ill. I felt God's leading to offer to fill in for him writing the articles. Surprisingly, he was thrilled at the offer. I say "surprisingly", because we do not agree on everything when it come to Bible matters. Namely, he is KJV only and I use NIV. For the articles though, I use KJV--after all, it is HIS weekly column.
Since I have been into blogging lately, I though why not start posting my articles. I am already ahead of it since I have been filling in for a couple months now. I do not claim to be a great author, but I know that the thoughts written are given to me by God. It is like I am an observer and when I read the articles myself, I feel like that they really did not come from me--like I am just one of the readers also. Since I am a stay-at-home mother, many of my insights come from that viewpoint. I use my children as examples in things that God is teaching me.
The name of this blog came from Isaiah 58:8-9. NIV reads, "Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and you healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear-guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say; Here am I."

Hi Angie,
I recently emailed you about Urban Botanics and read your spiritual writings. These really spoke to me and I too am inspired by the lesson our children teach us about God's love for us. Thank you for sharing these writings. I hope your father is getting well. God Bless you and keep writing...you are a great writer.
Kindly,
Kristie
