Just Love.

Sometimes showing love to someone right where they are is all they need. I think we get so caught up in the knee-jerk reaction to provide an answer. Or "preaching a sermon", if you will. Lord knows we have all had our share of those. It's OK to not have an answer. It's OK to …

Our Strength

I know for some there are those things that are looming that have overwhelmed you. I know you're doing your best to be strong and to overcome, but you feel weak & unable to cope. God says to you that He is your strength in every situation. He is your your peace in the storm. …

Oh To Be Brave & Courageous In Him

Some of us need to give ourselves some credit this morning. Some grace. Some mercy. And some love. We may not be where we want to be, but we are no longer where we once were. God has given us victory after victory. Do not lose sight of that. Each day we still get up. …

The Answer

I preface this by preaching to myself first, then to all of you ~ What are you facing today? What has your emotions on lock-down? What has your feet stuck to the floor & the will to propel yourself forward in chains? What has you feeling so alone? What has you feeling lonely & unwanted …

I’m Not Strong, Without Him..

I've been told many times by people who know me that I am a strong person. And it always feels weird. Because I don't really feel strong on any given day. Sometimes, in trial, I feel like I'm teetering on the edge of some chasm I can't see the bottom of. Other times I can …

When sorrow beats my faith down When heartache won't subside When anger burns through my soul And despair knocks me down, over & over You stand with me, kneel with me, Lying with me face-down in the floor You meet me in the darkness And won't allow me to be consumed. You don't ever ever …

Magic Switches, Wars & Trying To Find My Way Home

Good morning y'all. Thank God it's Friday. I wish I could blow sunshine & flowers all over you today. I'm not there. I am just going to get real. I am still in the middle of this war I didn't want. That followed a victory I wanted so badly. Where is that magic switch to …

Pulled From The Ashes

I read something this morning that echoed reminiscent to my life ~ ~~~ "You may feel like your life is ugly and insignificant right now. But sometimes things that appear ugly just need the right climate to grow. There is a species of century plant called the “Maguey”. It grows for years with great course …

Our Lifter In The Darkness

Good morning out there in Blog-land ~ I trust everyone is hanging in there today. If not barely. Some days are just that way. Yet we must continue to get up. Funny how life doesn't stop for us huh? That's where Grace kicks in - to help us do what we just don't want to …

The Table

I read this earlier in the wee hours. Sometimes it's hard for us to believe just how "for us" God really is - just how much He really, really, really does love us. Let these words seep into your soul this morning.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Partake of My constancy. Partake of My constancy this day for I …
