And He said to her,
“My daughter, how very proud of you, I am.
I know there has been hurt.
I know the road appears unending.
I know you struggle to see through the fog.
But I tell you that hope lies just up ahead- just around the bend!
The fog dissipates, and gives way to wide open spaces- as far as the eye can see.
And I am here.
I stand in the place of your dreams.
Yes, in the land of promise, beckoning you forward.
Just keep moving in the direction of my feet.
Come follow me.
Up ahead, every which way you turn, there is beauty- lush fruit and green grass.
Hope springs forth.
The fog is behind you.
There is newness of life.
Don’t lose sight of hope.
Don’t get bogged down by the here & now- by what only the eyes can see.
For there is life up ahead.
Hope awaits with seasons of change.
Come.
Come follow me.”
~Your Beloved.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord. “Plan to prosper you, and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.“~Jeremiah 29:11

Letter From the Editor: The Secret Life of Plants
“There is everything appealing and everything abhorrent about being fake (Matthew 23:27). There is everything wonderful and everything difficult about being real.” ~Christie Cox
“Fake things don’t survive. They exist. Never to die because they were never born.” ~Christie Cox
In a world that portrays, and seems to value, so much that is fake, it’s refreshing to know that there are still those that embrace authenticity.
Christie so beautifully weaves a timely message out of an ordinary, everyday experience, and encourages us to ditch the facade in exchange for the better, albeit riskier, life-giving existence of authenticity.
