Seasons of “Dormancy”

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”

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

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.

2.19.2022 – Learning to Overcome

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

2.9.2022 – “Hallways”

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.

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).

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.
