Wearing the Word

WITH MY WORD…

deposit MY WORD into the bank account of your heart; paint MY WORD on your soul; write MY WORD on your hand; wear MY WORD like sacred jewelry; let MY WORD lead what you teach; include MY WORD as the base of your conversation and as if it were the spice in your food; let MY WORD be the road you walk; invite MY WORD to be the dawn that wakes you and the lullaby that sends you to sleep.

a mary anne radmacher paraphrase
from Deuteronomy 11:18-21

That is the framework for the next three exciting weeks that I will share writing with seven amazing women.

It is a process that has changed my life and my relationship to THE WORD. Somehow, the act of reading scripture, and the decision to WEAR scripture in the way she describes, changes it. It helps me keep my promise. I feel like I always have it with me.

I will share my own writing here when the Spirit - with a capital S- moves me.
In the meantime I will be reveling in the opportunity to read what others are writing as they go about their ordinary days seeing extrordinary

Stay tuned.
