Blowing down the corridors Of the dusty halls of past and memories Your love is cleansing, washing, Like the Swedish housekeeper Diligently ridding my heart Of the dank, dark corners and musty, ill-smelling places Opening windows, allowing clean, clear Sunshine to lighten the thoughts, Bathe my heart in sweet-smelling delight Curtains flutter as cobwebs are… Continue reading Cleansing
God gave me the best illustration!Ok, so some (most) of our backgrounds are a bit shady, or tumultuous. Definitely not made of the stuff you want to pass along to anybody! Perhaps you are thinking that you are just a nobody--no one particularly special. Yeah, yeah, so were the disciples, if you will--a bunch of… Continue reading Be Like Fireflies
Do you have a "firestarter" in your spirit? You know, something that can easily ignite the kindling of shame, guilt, and accusation that the enemy has so carefully laid? Firestarter=the lies that pile up, the beliefs you base all your self-loathing on, the guilt that eats away at you. Dearest friend, that's the enemy at… Continue reading Firestarter
“As I sit down to eat, alone, the quiet forces me to feel…to feel everything that I am supposed to feel. And in the quiet, I will learn about myself. I will ask myself the tough questions, I will experience my vulnerability and I will explore possibilities that I might not have ever considered.… Continue reading Alone But My True Self
Did the title grab your attention? Well, what I read the other day in John 7 sure stopped me in my tracks! Let me know if it does you. Jesus was speaking truth to a crowd of people, a common occurrence during his short lifetime here on earth. He made the (quite audacious) comment that… Continue reading Better Than Jesus?
Cloudy. Doesn't matter if the sun is shining. Everything is cloudy. Your life. Your outlook. Your future. It doesn't feel like God is present in your life. You can't see Him or feel Him, and you don't even feel as if you know Him. But let me tell you something that I have learned a… Continue reading Hello Sunshine?
I published this post a year ago! I was scanning through some of my older posts, and decided to post this again. Because last week I had the most awful case of loneliness I've had in a long time. It was good to reread this as a reminder. Maybe some of you are experiencing loneliness… Continue reading Lean On Me Cuz It’s Lonely Up In Here
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. Of course, in order for this to happen we’d need to lift our faces from… Continue reading Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It
There are many, many concerns on my mind these days. They kind of swirl around in the background as I go through my day. I'm not especially so worried that I can't do all that I need to, but yes, this list is ever-prevalent, just a thought away from giving me stress if I allow… Continue reading 11:11
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?
