Onion Layers

 So I saw this meme on the internet, and thought I'd comment about it. And then God begins to peel the layers off and heal in between each so that your heart can once again love and receive love.  It's a real process, for sure. It takes time--for me, several decades. It's not a pleasant… Continue reading Onion Layers

Can We Trust God?

How do you know that someone is worthy of your trust? Most likely it's because they have proven themselves to you: they are dependable, they have kept your secret, they are loyal and supportive of you. It takes time, usually, to establish trust in someone. And a kind of "testing".  God knows that it isn't… Continue reading Can We Trust God?

Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It

  It’s my firm belief that our society could use a lot more attention. Not the “hey, look at me” kind of attention, but the kind that notices others. Attention to others: kindness, caring, listening, looking, touching, smiling, and sharing.

Ever Feel Like You don’t Belong?

  Most of my life I have felt left out, looked over, and that I didn’t really fit in or belong. Some of this was because I moved so many times during my school years. I was always trying to fit into a new crowd of people who already had their cliques. And I was… Continue reading Ever Feel Like You don’t Belong?

Wrapped In His Heart

Guide me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You (and only You) I wait (expectantly) all the day long. Psalm 25:5 Amplified Bible The Passion Bible translation has this footnote that knocked my socks off: “The Hebrew word most commonly translated as “wait”, qavah, also means… Continue reading Wrapped In His Heart
