I’ve been a follower of Jesus for 27 years … the more “mature” I get the more I feel like I can’t even put on my flip flops! I guess we need to learn to rest in Him and put our hope in Him ONLY! I can’t wait “to see the thread of grace that ran through all my pain!”

Dear Todd. Hello I am a nursery teacher at the Tucson Waldorf School. I once wrote a marine cadence for Kindergarten teachers. The line was, Baking bread is what we do and we tie a lot of shoes…….. ANyway, I appreciate your insight and have been deeply moved and inspired during the two concerts I have attended of yours. Hope you come back to Arizona soon. thank you kate Donnelly

Todd, thanks so much for the awesome illustration. I think, probably all of us have experienced this in one way or another, but experiencing it and understanding it are two totally different things! Thanks for the good little devotional thought.

really felt that one. God has brought my wife and i through some trials this past year and i really mean “through” those trials. not around, not softened the blow, not plucked us out of it, not a cushy ride at all. we suffered through every moment and grew because of it.
all the while, and i see it now, God knew what He was doing, knew where we were going and waited patiently for us to come back to Him and reach out to Him.
praise to the Almighty for His patience.

Here’s an almost welcome to the Skorinc family. Can hardly wait for the new website. I know it will be great.

I actually miss those days! I remember finding “how to tie your shoes” shoelaces when she was 4 or 5. We were in Albuquerque. In the 4 hour drive back to Amarillo, she got it! The laces were half blue & half white. I know the point of the story is patience & listening for what God is trying to teach us. But, in that ride, I didn’t have to worry about impatience. I didn’t stand above her & tap my foot. I also think God wants us to learn that things happen in His time. Not mine, not yours, not the child’s. God is an amazing teacher!

God’s funny like that, isn’t He? Sometimes I think He gives us the privilege of being parents so that we can get a little glimpse into how He feels when He’s parenting us.

Just wait til she comes home from school with orders from her teacher to get laces and learn how to tie those! Velcro is easy compared to that one.

Thanks for sharing your gift of writing thought provoking lyrics, and blog posts. I’ve been in that situation before with my daughter and never made that connection.

I had an overwhelming urge to grab your computer and fix the link you were trying to post to this.

Glad I waited.. Great post. Looking forward to the new album.
