Seasons of “Dormancy”

December 20, 2022

It’s so easy to eventually discount something we’ve been waiting to behold within our lives… …to be discouraged, to lose hope after some time passes. Whenever that answer to prayer, that hope, that promise… seems to become less and less relevant, …less and less likely. We wait, and we wait… without seeing anything unfold. “Dormancy“… Read More Seasons of “Dormancy”

10.21.2022 – Brand New Day

October 21, 2022

Heavenly Father, Here I am before You again… Thank You for always being just right here… You’re always near. You see, I’ve accumulated these things from my walk through the day. And I know… I need to let them go into Your hands …to let You take these “things” away. And I know that I… Read More 10.21.2022 – Brand New Day

April 20, 2022

Good Morning, Heavenly Father. 💝 Thank You for what You’re doing in my life that I cannot see… The pieces that You are orchestrating… …that I do not understand. I know You do it this way for a purpose for a time for a season sometimes… And while I may not understand or see what… Read More 4.20.2022 – “…but I’ll simply continue trusting You.”

3.31.2022 – I no longer write on this blog every day…

March 31, 2022

I no longer write on this blog every day… (There, I said it… …and do you know how much I’ve wrestled with it?) Do I still write? Yes. Will I still write? I sure hope so! But things have changed a lot in my life, and things have changed a lot in my writing, or… Read More 3.31.2022 – I no longer write on this blog every day…

3.15.2022 – Urgent Reminder: Jesus is Lord

March 15, 2022

I don’t think I have ever had such a deep realization… of our desperate need to get back to the purity of the simple gospel of Jesus Christ. The pure, and simple message of the cross—it’s always the answer. The deep knowing, the deep realization of, the deep acknowledgement of the TRUTH… that Jesus Christ… Read More 3.15.2022 – Urgent Reminder: Jesus is Lord

March 11, 2022

I came across a powerful testimony of a young lady who had gotten into new age practices… At first she thought she was living her best life, she thought she was discovering all of the answers as she was on a search for truth. She thought she was helping other people as her heart was… Read More 3.11.2022 – Running into the Way, the Truth, and the Life…

3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

March 7, 2022

…but He is complex. A lot of times God does things much differently than we expect. His ways are not our ways. We must learn to draw closer, draw nearer, and look closely… to see Him, and to understand. But that doesn’t mean that God is “complicated“… He’s complex. 🌈 But He makes it simple… Read More 3.7.2022 – God isn’t “complicated”…

2.25.2022 – Living in the Moment-by-Moment with Him

February 25, 2022

As I’m sitting here at the table this morning, I’m listening to the cheeping sound of around 50-60 baby chicks that are currently in our living room… It’s a sweet little sound. 🐣 There’s a lot going on in our world right now. Major things have shifted and changed again. Things are always changing, of… Read More 2.25.2022 – Living in the Moment-by-Moment with Him

2.19.2022 – Learning to Overcome

February 19, 2022

One of the things I am learning about living life in the midst of facing fears and anxiety, is learning to accept… that fear and anxiety might not always just “go away” when I’d like them to “just go away.” Learning to accept… that I won’t always be swept up and “rescued” from all of… Read More 2.19.2022 – Learning to Overcome

February 18, 2022

Never underestimate what God can do through me and through you. He wants to surprise us… ✨ with the amazing work that He’ll do. And it’s no pressure, because He doesn’t really need much… God can use us in ways that we don’t even realize, recognize, or comprehend.

February 12, 2022

I think I’m processing through life a little differently these days… So much of what I’ve written about on this blog, so far, has been my journey of processing through pain fear anxiety uncertainty challenges insecurities honest struggles… Perhaps the over-abundance of words has come from all the years and years of these kinds of… Read More 2.12.2022 – I love writing, but…

2.9.2022 – “Hallways”

February 9, 2022

Transitional times can often be challenging times… I think of a “hallway.” Often times, hallways don’t have windows. Sometimes there are doorways to other rooms, but ultimately, we follow a hallway because it’s leading us from “point A to point B.” We usually can’t see too much around us within these “hallways of transition.” But… Read More 2.9.2022 – “Hallways”

This morning has been a little different than usual.

2.2.2022 – He’s always been there…

February 2, 2022

God has been reminding me from time to time, over the last couple of years, of these memories with Him (that I had forgotten until I found the old home videos). He reminds me that He has been with me, speaking a “song” into my heart from my very beginning… He’s always been just right… Read More 2.2.2022 – He’s always been there…

January 31, 2022

Good Morning, Heavenly Father. 💝 I’ve come… …right here before You. And I’m reminded, once again that You have always been just right here.
