Of Summer Rain and Quietness

June 10, 2015 / Kiersti Giron / creation, God's faithfulness, seasons
7

    It rained last night.   Oh, I know that might not seem unusual to those of you in more eastern climes where summer rain falls often. But to us in drought-parched southern California, where rain on a warm June night is near unheard of even in good years, this moisture came a sweetly […]

He is Here: Immanuel in the New Year

  On Sunday I sat and watched as a script I’d written came to life.   A project that’s been growing for four and a half years now, this little drama explores the journey of Mary, Joseph, and the other human participants in Jesus’ coming to earth, built into a musical around Michael Card’s beautiful […]

  Welcome to the continuation of our Advent journey! Read Day One here. Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit . . . ~ Isaiah 11:1   Joseph    She is gone . . . thank God, she is gone.   I grip […]

Journey Toward Bethlehem, Day One: Elizabeth

Amid the bustle–and often, stress–of this season for many of us, it helps me to have intentional ways to focus my mind and heart on why we celebrate this time of Advent anyway. To remember that Jesus really did come to this messy world of ours, to real people in real, and often difficult, circumstances, […]

Thanksgiving Amid the Imperfect

November 27, 2014 / Kiersti Giron / faith, God's faithfulness, seasons, Thanksgiving

Do you ever find it hard to be thankful?   I do, sometimes. And judging from a chat with someone else today, I’m not alone.   I’m not thinking of the struggle to give thanks in difficult circumstances, though I’ve certainly experienced that before. Right now, though, I have much for which to be thankful—loving […]

Mustard Seeds, Yeast, and the Slowness of God

  Sometimes God takes a whole lot longer than I’d like Him to.   I know this isn’t unique to me. Moses, Abraham and Sarah, Elizabeth and Zechariah, all had to wait a very long time for God to fulfill His purposes and promises for their lives. And the Israelites—boy did they have to wait. […]

  I read the most beautiful story in the newspaper yesterday.   I’m not much of a newspaper reader. For most of my life, my dad hasn’t been either, but the last few years he’s enjoyed taking in a Daily Times. And he’ll save articles he thinks would interest me, usually those covering Native American […]

    I sat on the carpet in their living room, with these friends in their home on the Navajo Nation, and shared my heart.   Last September, I’d just come from the ACFW conference in Indianapolis and then stopped to visit friends in New Mexico and Arizona. While staying with Mark Charles and his […]

  Note: I do apologize, reader friends, for the lack of a post last week and the lateness of this post today. I seem to have been a bit off-kilter of late, plus I’ve been sick, but I expect to be back on my normal Wednesday posting schedule next week. Also watch for a special […]
