Accustomed to Beauty

Posted on January 18, 2009 by robinprincemonroe

A year and a half ago we moved into our lake house. I had grown up on a lake, but had been landlocked for 30 years and I missed the water so much that I felt like I was just going to shrival up if I didn’t get back to it. So, I started driving around looking for slivers of silver, and […]

Flashing Signs

Posted on February 12, 2008 by robinprincemonroe

I was driving home last Monday feeling pretty rotten. I had just been to the doctor, was given some antibiotics, and told to take it easy. I passed by a church with a lighted sign. In big, red, flashing letters it said, “REST!”   When I drove by the same church sign yesterday it was scrolling the verse, “Come […]

The Secret Places

Posted on December 7, 2007 by robinprincemonroe

There is no one that can see the secret things in my heart, the longings, the joys, the regrets, the acceptance, the pain, the peace. And even I can only see glimpses, when I am brave enough to look. But God sees all of it and He loves me deeply, completely, unconditionally. He doesn’t love […]

Reflections

Posted on November 27, 2007 by robinprincemonroe

This morning when I looked out at the lake the sky was reflected so perfectly in the water that I could even see the shadows in the clouds. The lake looked exactly like the sky-exactly. For this to happen the water has to be especially calm and peaceful… the way we need to be to reflect the glory of […]

I can see clearly now

Posted on October 20, 2007 by robinprincemonroe

On many days a haze covers the mountains in the distance. They become all gray and shrouded and it is hard to see how beautiful they are. In fact, sometimes the air is so thick I can’t see them at all. But after a thunder storm the air clears and I can see the bright […]

Solitude

Posted on October 8, 2007 by robinprincemonroe

I think that we are all lonely. That even if we have wonderful people to love us, when we are by ourselves for any length of time, we are lonely. I believe God made us that way so that we would always have a longing for Him. Life keeps us pretty busy and when it doesn’t […]

Higher

Posted on October 5, 2007 by robinprincemonroe

When Caleb was about four, Anna was a toddler and she followed him everywhere. He loved to play with little plastic animals. He was old enough not to put them in his mouth but it was still dangerous for Anna to play with such little toys. So once in a while he’d stand on the […]

On the Hardest Days

Posted on September 19, 2007 by robinprincemonroe

On the very hardest days, the days when my circumstances pummel me like debris in a tornado, I have to make a choice. The choice is pretty simple really….I choose to trust God and believe that He loves me or I choose to believe that He can’t possibly love me and allow me to hurt […]
