Day 1 Devotional: A stones throw away? Stepping away from the hard.

Seeds of Hope lead to Grace

Hello friends! I am going to try something a little diffrent during the month of December, and let’s see where it leads.😃

During a conversations with a therapists friend over ther last few months I came to realize I might…see a need, fill a need. That is really kind of a silly thought. I think lately I have been itching to find a purpose again for ways I can give. The last 8 years have been about me receiving what I needed…I’m not saying you need this because there is a good chance you don’t, but I love talking about Jesus. Why not put that to “work” for me.

I was not really aware of the seanson of Advent, until we began attending a Reformed church. It was a huge tradition within in the house. I loved it.

After one conversation in particular I had a brainstorm. Lol She was asking for a reference for a study that gave one topic, but gave time for busy people, moms in her case, to chew on the topic over a week. Ok, I’m not sure if that’s really what she wanted or if that’s what I heard because I have been feeling God tug at my heart.

This will won’t replace my therapy updates. I have so many things to share. I found something out I wasn’t aware of 2 weeks ago that really rocked my world, and not in a good way.

I had just finished writing vlog entries for the first 6 days of December. Needless to say after receiving the news, I no longer felt worthy of saying anything about God. I really struggled with my representation of God’s love. After talking it out I begain to realize that it wasn’t my actions that caused hurt. Rounding back to what I had written a few days before.

So, I have had to walk out some of what I will be sharing over the next 7 days. I will be using Luke 22:41 “He withdrew about a stone thro away from them, knelt down and prayed”

I will be focusing on the very over looked wording, at least in my reading of this story. “He withdrew a stone’s throw” like that’s it…

Ok without me sharing all my thoughts, take a listen.

Let me know if you can understand me. If I get a little bit blending of my words together, or if it was clear enough to understand. This is speech therapy for obvious reasons, but I am also standing. Lots of good stuff going on here, so, please be nice…😊

Mon. December 1, 2025 Just a stone’s throw? That’s it?

Don’t judge me on the way the video starts. Eyes closed…Each day there will be a video that I am trying to keep around 5 minutes. Hopefully you will be back tomorrow.

Grace and peace go before you. ~Heather
