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…

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.

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.

2.7.2022 – The battles we face in the changing of the seasons…

February 7, 2022

I’ll be honest… it seems I’ve been facing a battle within the place of my time of communion with the Lord. The time He and I share together here at the table each morning… the time we sit and write together. Somehow, ever since about 2018, I’ve had this beautiful “pocket of time” in the… Read More 2.7.2022 – The battles we face in the changing of the seasons…

February 4, 2022

This morning has been a little different than usual. I pondered whether or not I was to share this on here this morning, but I felt the go ahead, so here goes… This morning while in prayer, while seeking the Lord’s heart for whatever He might want to put upon mine… …I began to see… Read More 2.4.2022 – I saw ‘you’ this morning…

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 30, 2022

The other week I slipped into an intense state of anxiety… And then after a little while of getting completely wound up in that I realized I had finally spiraled down into depression. I went from “over-caring” and obsessing over all the “what ifs”… to apathy, numbness, and not even wanting to get up out… Read More 1.30.2022 – Yes, I spiraled—and I began to sink… but He lifted me. ☀️

1.25.2022 – “What if?”

January 25, 2022

You know what? Over the last couple of weeks, to be very honest, I have dipped into this “what if, what if” kind of thinking. And these “what ifs” can so quickly spiral me into obsessive thinking, obsessive worrying… At times, thinking through the maizes of scenarios that these “what ifs” of fear want to… Read More 1.25.2022 – “What if?”

January 20, 2022

There is a phrase that many of us use… “be careful!” I catch myself using it all the time.
