June 29, 2020

Why do I write these every day? I still ponder this question sometimes.

6.28.2020 – “Come Close”

June 28, 2020

This morning as I was sitting here, I began to reflect on how I used to be so fearful of God, so uneasy around Him, and how I used to attempt to keep Him at “arms length” because I didn’t know that He was such a wonderful Heavenly Father—a wonderful Heavenly Father who delights in… Read More 6.28.2020 – “Come Close”

6.26.2020 – The Illusion of “How I feel.”

June 26, 2020

When I think of the word, “illusion” I think of “sight” mostly…. what I see. Like, what I am seeing with my physical eyes, how the situation seems to appear on the surface—I realize could be an “illusion” compared to what is really happening “under the surface” or in the unseen realm, which is more… Read More 6.26.2020 – The Illusion of “How I feel.”

6.18.2020 – Part of the ‘Reason’ for the Struggle

June 18, 2020

This has been a “heart-to-heart” kind of morning… I was just sitting here, talking with the Lord about some things on my heart —specifically some “things” that seem to be a hinderance in my life, things that have been brought into the light and realized. Things that don’t align with His way, and His truth,… Read More 6.18.2020 – Part of the ‘Reason’ for the Struggle

June 17, 2020

Life isn’t going to be easy when you start choosing to face your fears… You’re not usually going to “feel” courageous, and you probably won’t even “look” courageous… and yet courage will be given to you.

“God, when is this ‘thing’ going to get any easier?” …This was the raw and honestly imperfect question on my heart this morning… And I knew it wasn’t really the “proper” sort of question to ask, and I knew it wasn’t really the right question to ask, but He already knew my heart.

Have you ever heard someone tell a joke, and until they explain it to you, you just can’t seem to get it? You just don’t see it? Maybe it’s just me, but I usually don’t get “manufactured jokes.” My brain isn’t always the quickest.
