There are moments in life where every single little insecurity about yourself will come up and bite you. Yesterday was one for me. My Birthday is on Sunday, and this year I wanted to just invite a few people out to lunch, the people I consider to be the closest to me. My family, my […]
Following Daddy
Therefore be imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]. Ephesians 5:1 AMP I’ve never had a huge problem with the idea of God being a loving father. I’ve had friends that had a hard time with the idea but I never did. I’ve always attributed this to […]
The Shadow of Death
Why? I see the pain, the suffering in the world and am overwhelmed. I see, I taste the fruits of death. The old, the young, the guilty, the innocent. So many robbed of life before their time. The child just waking up to life. The young woman, murdered by someone she thought she loved. I’ve seen […]
Let Me Tell You About Chronic Fatigue
Let me tell you about something called Chronic Fatigue. It’s real, but it isn’t always diagnosed. Sometimes its caused by medications that are supposed to help you. Sometimes it comes alone. Other times it comes along with things like Chronic Pain, Chronic Depression, or some other Chronic Condition. Chronic. Do you know what Chronic means? […]
Trusting Him
Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. John 12:24 Have you ever had a dream die? I remember when I was a young teenager I had so many dreams. I had […]
A Daily Walk
Have you ever noticed how you never actually get to finish housework? The minute the laundry is done someone throws something in the hamper. As soon as the carpet gets vacuumed something gets spilled. There is always something to dust, scrub, or clean. Always more trash to take out. I remember one day having spent […]
God’s Child
A while ago my pastor compared God’s love and obsession over us to that of an expectant parent. The thought caught my mind and imagination. Think about it! Even before time began, He lovingly created a place for us to exist. He planted a garden with good food to eat, and made a world, vast […]
Throwing Ourselves in the Nile: How God Can Use The Vehicle of Our Destruction to Bring Life.
One of the most incredible mysteries of God, to me, is how He can take things that are negative, and use them to bring life. I mean, it’s impossible right? Sickness, death, destruction, pain, they should only be able to bring about more sickness, death, destruction and pain. At best you could say that the […]
Having Grace for Me.
Women can be incredibly cruel. Obnoxious. Judgmental. Especially of themselves. A while ago I was commenting on something as mundane as feeding my child chicken nuggets, and got a dirty look from another woman. She wasn’t a mom, but she knew that chicken nuggets aren’t the healthiest thing in the world, and I suppose she […]
The Gift of New.
The presents are unwrapped and being enjoyed. The flavors of Christmas have receded into a cozy after glow. We turn our minds to The New Year that is ahead even as we look back and take stock of the year behind. We make goals and resolutions in the perpetual hope that is the new year […]
