The Power of Community
I will be the first to admit. Sometimes, I do NOT like people. They are messy and chaotic. They can be fickle and wishy-washy. They can even be too much at times. Honestly, the older I get, the more I’ve come to enjoy my own company and have become quite selective about who I giveContinueContinue reading “The Power of Community”

You Are
From light breaking through the darkness of night, To the wind that gently breezes and guides a child’s kite. From the heartbeat at conception as a sign of new life, To milk in the breast of a mother whose infant holds tight. From every inhale and exhale as a our lungs breath in and out,ContinueContinue reading “You Are”
Wait on the Lord
Photo by Samrat Maharjan on Pexels.com Since leaving my job of 17 years in August 2018, I have been in a time of waiting. I have not been given instructions about my next career move or even if I will even return to my field. Although I have done several temporary jobs over the lastContinueContinue reading “Wait on the Lord”

How would I live? What would I do differently? How would I decide to spend the rest of my time? All ofContinueContinue reading “How Are You Living?”
A River Runs Through
Bring all your sorrow, your guilt, and your pain, Bring all your burdens, your fears, and your chains. Bring your disappointment and even every sin, Bring it all. It doesn’t matter what shape you are in. Release, exhale, drop, let everything go, Because the answer is near and soon it shall flow. Full of allContinueContinue reading “A River Runs Through”
Trust Him
This morning, I thank God for continuing to confirm His plan for my life. I just want to encourage you today. If God tells you to do something, do it regardless of how crazy it seems or how you/others may feel about it. Be wise. Every opportunity that sounds good may not be what GodContinueContinue reading “Trust Him”
Pedestals
Pedestals were meant to bring objects up higher, Not for us to place men upon so we can admire. Nor to exalt ourselves above others and say look at me, Or put our lives on display for all the world to see. Who are we except filthy rags washed clean by lamb’s blood? Or wretchesContinueContinue reading “Pedestals”
Reflect
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com This week is Holy Week. It is the week that Jesus was on His way to a horrific death on a cross, accused, whipped, died on the cross, buried, and rose from the dead. I have been trying to simply meditate on what that must have felt like. How didContinueContinue reading “Reflect”
