I’m reading a news story, and I’m horrified. A mother admitting to killing and hiding six of her own new-born babies over the course of a decade. How could this happen? I was supposed to write about respect today. It’s in my schedule. It would probably already be written if it wasn’t for the unpredictability […]
The Pursuit of Peace
When I think of having an inner peace my brain somehow flicks over to a scene from Kung Fu Panda. In it Master Shifu is trying to meditate to gain inner peace and keeps becoming irritated by his latest, and seemingly least capable, pupil. “Inner Peace…. Inner Peace…. Inner Peace…” The scene always makes me […]
Glory to Your Name
Glory to Your Name A Poem, By Joy Aletheia Stevens ~ I cannot, Lord, express Your glory, And so my life becomes this story: Only to always say “Holy, Holy.” Holy to Your name. I am not the same. ~ Oh Lord Your indescribable beauty, My soul, my mind, have but one duty, My life […]
Set Us Free.
I wonder how many reading this post are struggling with sin in their life. It’s overwhelming isn’t it? Sometime it seems to get to the point that we are just no longer in control, our sin is. I don’t want to minimize this struggle, and I recognize that with some things, some serious addictions, we […]
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 […]

Meeting the Mystery
My main goal for this blog has been to explore the mysteries of God. To show His beauty, to be thrilled over His grace. To encourage others in their life-long journey of knowing Him. But how do you start this journey? I’m quite aware that by the very nature of my blog the majority of […]
God Our Father. Abba, Daddy, God.
“Mommy!” “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!” “MOMMY!” It’s like a constant mantra at times in my house right now. My daughter is two, and her language skills are still in that stage where most wants, desires, and needs are only communicated with one word. Most of the time that word is “Mommy.” I don’t resent this […]
Not All Accepted It
Not All Accepted It A Poem, By Joy Aletheia Stevens ~ I may not be the best, Not high above the rest, But I am not below the others here. ~ There are times all lose the way. But all can return, if they may. Nothing hinders you from drawing near. ~ All are the […]
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 […]
