A New Beginning, Again —
A New Beginning, Again —
Every year, when the cycle of moedim (God’s appointed times) ends at Simchat Torah, the whole Jewish and Messianic world begins the cycle of reading the Torah all the way through, again. And I’m excited, because despite the fact that some may think “ho, hum, read it before,” I know that each new year brings deeper understanding and new light to God’s word.
In Hebrew understanding, time is not linear. We don’t think, that happened, then this happened. Instead, it’s circular. Each rising and setting of the sun, each “evening and morning were a day,” anchors us to the concept that God’s plan is eternal. It continues in His perfect plan until all comes to completion.
Won’t you join me as I travel this amazing journey that seems to go deeper and deeper each year?
The Messianic-Inspired Home
In our home, I am a Gentile and my husband is a Jew. We both follow Yeshua (Jesus), the Son of God and Messiah. We are Messianic Believers. We follow the Torah and keep the biblical Feasts of God, living as closely to the biblical mandate as is possible. But we are not legalistic, because we know we are saved through grace by faith—and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8).
We enjoy sharing our home and our faith, and it’s hard to enter our home without knowing about our faith: the evidence of it is seen everywhere! Our home decor reflects our beliefs and creates a peaceful, meaningful space.
