An Unholy Mess

"I guess the one good thing about being someone who doesn’t have it all figured out is that you’re able to see real growth. The changes are palpable. You see yourself evolving, which can often be a beautiful process. I don’t have it figured out but I know more than I did yesterday. It must …

Lay It Down

(Link below)  God I give You all I can today These scattered ashes that I hid away I lay them all at Your feet From the corners of my deepest shame The empty places where I've worn Your name Show me the love I say I believe Oh Help me to lay it down Oh …

Hope & Trust In Him Alone

As I sit and drink my coffee in the quiet this morning, peering into this coming year, I wonder what it holds. I can tell you that I am believing for good things. To see my son get great breakthrough & move forward in his life. To see myself meet that special man that my …

Broken For The Broken

I can honestly say that for every bad thing I have been through, God has used it all to help someone else through their own. Beauty for ashes. Don't let life's calamities keep you down. Don't stay self-absorbed. Don't keep jumping back into the quicksand of bad memories. Don't stay victim to the hells that …

Scars…

A re-post from 2 years back, slightly modified. It still speaks. “Our scars remind us that the past is real..” – Papa Roach ~~~ I remember the exact moment - driving down the road - when that song came on & I was so struck by the lyrics. (Yes I am a rocker at heart..) …

Freedom From The Lies Of Abuse

A tough subject but one I know many of us are acquainted with.  I had a vivid dream this morning that sparked this rambling. I felt strongly led to share...  I believe when someone is molested/abused as a child, it can start a long downward spiral of begging for approval. And using our bodies to …

Life, Troubles A-plenty & The Peace Of Knowing He Has Overcome The World

These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. - John 16:33 ~~~ Whatever you are facing today, God is with you. Whatever is coming tomorrow that you have no inkling of yet, He is …

The Foxes

Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom. ~ Song of Songs 2:15 ~~~ We must be wary & vigilant to stay on the lookout for the thieves that salivate at taking our joy. Robbing our peace. Manipulating our blessings. Mirages appear & disappear - …
