Treasure Seekers

Lost in the depth of teaching one morning, yet again feeling like my mind is going to blow like a bad fuse with an overload of revelation, I cried out to God. “This is awesome! I can’t tell You how much I’m enjoying learning about You and Your nature. But I don’t think I have enough time, LORD,” I lamented. “There’s too much to take in.”

His response to me was a picture of a base, traditional, American Thanksgiving meal. You know, turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, and stuffing. I saw it all laid out in neat order on a plate. Then He showed me Thanksgiving casserole. That’s what I make with the leftovers. Layer it in a dish, maybe top with a little grated cheese, bake it and voila! you get the whole meal in one bite. That made me smile. It seems so overwhelming in individual portions, but not in layers.

That’s what God gives to we seekers: revelation.

We’re not going to know all things while we’re here on earth. God has had eternity to be God and our lives here are gone like puffs of smoke. Isn’t it uplifting, though, to know that the God of the universe wishes to divulge His mysteries with those of us who ask? I won’t, can’t possibly know all things, but I trust that in His time He will reveal to me those things necessary for my life and for the lives of those He’s placed in my sphere. . . and I trust Him to do the same for you.

Join me in treasure seeking today.

My husband and I married over 20 years ago on a chilly, rainy, spring day. One year later caught me in a whirlwind as I was celebrating my first wedding anniversary, my first Mother's Day, and my first publication as a freelance writer. The birth of our third child followed a couple months after we celebrated our twins' 3rd birthday. Though a pen has been one of my constant companions, I have not pursued writing professionally due to the monumental task of homemaking and the raising of children. A shout out to my Robert who has been our sole provider while I have had the pleasure and privilege of remaining home with our children to homeschool them. Now, thanks to him, I have the liberty to once again pursue my passion to write and encourage others in written word as we journey with God through life experiences.
