For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. ~Phil. 3:3
Look what I found! Isn't this a beautiful description of the body of Christ? My ESV says "the real circumcision," which I like, because it is saying that we are what the circumcision was meant to be in the first place. The real circumcision worship (God), rejoice (in, and may I say because of, Jesus), and remember what to (and not to) put their confidence in. How cool is that!
Jesus is so sweet. It's strange how slowly I turn to him. When I do, I remember again how delightful He is. This summer I have remembered. I am a new person.
I don't want to go back.
Let me only worship, rejoice, and put no confidence in the flesh.
I know He will never let me down.

About Me
- Millie
- My grandparents met and were married here on the prairies where my great grandfather became the first rancher to own electricity and telephone in our county. He kept cattle and she kept the house (dirt floor) and the children (7). Three generations later I am creating artwork inspired by this heritage and using the skills my grandmother taught me when I learned to knit at age seven. This blog is my space to reflect on the processes of creativity and explore how our roots intersect with a modern life.

But as for me, my prayer is to you
O LORD.
At an acceptable time, O God,
in the abundance of your steadfast
love, answer me in your saving
faithfulness.
