I love this quote I saw on Heidi Turner’s blog, from Hildevert of Lavardin, who wrote it sometime around 1125 (as quoted in Madeleine L’Engels book, Meet The Austins):

“God is over all things, under all things; outside all;
within, but not enclosed; without but not excluded;
above, but not raised up; below, but now depressed;
wholly above, presiding; wholly without, embracing;
wholly within, filling.”

This from Madeleine’s book, Walking On Water:

“An artist is a nourisher and a creator who knows that during the
act of creation there is a collaboration. We do not create alone.”
Madeline L’Engle, Author of Walking On Water

  1. I was just praying for you this morning and wondering how it was going ‘over the pond’.

    I love this quote too – it speaks to me of a God that is much less oppressive than the God I was raised with. Lifting up instead of holding down. Inspiring instead of condemning. I think that I had forgotten it somehow.

  2. All is going well here. New post above. Thanks Heidi.
