There are seasons of heaviness,There are seasons of grief,Seasons so dark in which there seems no relief. There are seasons of fear,There are seasons of doubt,When we feel like we are smothering, with no way out. There are seasons of plenty,There are seasons with no pull,When we feel like our cups are overflowing past full.Continue reading “Hope”

Tears
My heart has been broken,My heart has been filled with joy. My heart has been played with,As if it were a toy.

Get Your Hope Up!
Happy Monday! Be encouraged today. These are uncertain times. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Our sense of normalcy has become a thing of the past. There is a new norm that evolves each day and challenges us on every level. However, there is one constant. Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, is described in HebrewsContinue reading “Get Your Hope Up!”
Be the Light
One of my favorite quotes by Mahatma Gandhi is, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” I love this quote because it causes us to pause and see how we, individually, are contributing to the world in which we live. It is so easy to cast blame upon each other forContinue reading “Be the Light”
