In reply to Beth. I've been so amazed on this journey, Beth. These men and women lead such a totally different life than anything I've ever been exposed to, yet we have so many things in common. I never would have believed it if God hadn't shown it to me over and over. Yes, I love his verse too---standing firm is something we all can strive for, rich or poor, old or young.

In reply to Joanne Viola. Yes, those intersections can be so impactful, even when they're brief. (Sometimes the brief ones make an even greater impact!). Thanks for sharing your verse. Such a rich one. I love how the Lord invites us to taste and see, knowing that he won't fail to deliver!

In reply to Jean Wise. Centering on Jesus. A beautiful verse to favorite, Jean. It's a perfect one for me after my weekend of centering! :) I had such a meaningful time. The next step is an 8-day silent retreat; I don't think I'm ready for that much time away yet. When someone asked Sister Mary how that retreat compared to the one we were on this weekend, she said it's just like this one, except worse. ha. She had a delightful sense of humor.

I just love hearing about your ministry to the homeless, Lisa, and what their lives unfold as you care for and converse with them. There are so many “diamonds” among the homeless that are not necessarily in the rough, but going through the rough in life. I’m glad you were able to bring one out into the light for us to see and hear about. I love his verse and thought for life–standing firm in our Lord! What could be better than that?

Wonderful post, Lisa. It’s amazing how a brief conversation, an intersecting of two people, can cause us to think more deeply.

My favorite verse (this year) > “Taste & see that the Lord is good. Oh the joys of those who take refuge in him!” (Psalm 34:8)

Grateful you helped me to “see” something I had totally missed earlier this week! Blessings!

wow quite a story. I have been thinking a great deal about the desert in all my study and readings of the Desert Mothers and Fathers and now entering the wilderness of the Lenten season. The word of God is so powerful and life changing. Love all your questions and especially the last one.

My favorite? Hebrews 12:2 Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.” Reminds me to center on him. It is when I let my eyes drift elsewhere, I am lost. Have a wonderful weekend Lisa. Praying for you!

In reply to TC Avey. I loved reading through your favorite verses, TC. Thanks for taking the time to share them because each one is so rich. I'm glad that we have such a wealth to choose from, for all our different seasons in life! God is so good to make himself known to us.

In reply to Pam. Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses...that's a great verse to top your list, Pam. I love being reminded often that we are NOT alone on this journey! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

In reply to June.

Yes, that verse does lay out it plainly! Love it. I can’t read it without hearing the DC Talk song in my mind. 🙂 An oldie but a goodie.

Day by day, day by day
Day by day, day by day
Oh dear Lord, three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
To love thee more dearly
To follow thee more nearly
Day by day
