Never Forget

Sometimes when life seems dull, or it gets tough - or we find ourselves in ruts of our own making it's easier to forget how good God is. I am guilty. I am currently not in a state of immersion with my faith. I've been coasting a bit on the solid foundation already laid deep. …

Embrace It All

I know that I have said before sometimes I wish I didn't feel anything. And on occasion that's true, especially when in the feeling, it's all too painful. But in my honesty I do love to feel the heights & the depths of life. I love to feel the butterflies, the shyness & the nervousness …

You Are Such A Gift

I felt strongly spurred to do this so I am going to engage in an exercise here before all of you that will be uncomfortable for me. And I am asking you to do the same for yourself however you'd like. I'm realizing more as I grow older it's important to recognize & be thankful …

Vain Imagination

When you have been through a lot, sometimes believing for the best is more than difficult. I know with God all things are possible. That is true. But it is not a guarantee. I do my best to make the best out of every situation. I am strangely optimistic by nature. And on the contrary …

Letting Go & Letting God

Some Friday Love

I just wanted to say I love you. I see you. I hear you. You are the apple of My eye. I Am as close as your next breath. And with you at your last & beyond. I bottle every tear. And mend your broken heart. I delight in you & sing over you. I …

Freedom

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light." - Plato There are so many people who have been offered & given the tools to face their own truth & attain freedom & still they choose to stay bound. …

Pushing Through

Excerpt from a devotion I've kept for several years... "Trials and hard times are part of life. In fact, they are an important part of life. Yet, we desperately try to avoid any kind of pain, and when the difficult times come we frantically search for the nearest exit. I have discovered that the most …

Ramblings On Ponds, Tantrums & My Rescuer

How easy it is to swim around in the ponds of self-pity we dig so ceremoniously & diligently over time. Fretting over this thing or that thing. Fighting our own battles as if we ever could - alone. I did it last night. Sundays are still the hardest for me. One sweet day that will …
