Sometimes we just feel like garbage. I’m not talking about when we are ill, and our bodies feel like trash. I mean when someone degrades us, or we can’t accomplish something we have worked really hard at. Or when we realize that we have screwed up big time. Or we disappoint someone whom we love… Continue reading The Great Recycler
I pray you know that you are deeply, unconditionally, and sacrificially loved by the One Who created you, Who knows you by name, and Who has a purpose for you. Love and hugs, Passionista Mimi
You may have experienced God’s love and forgiveness, but here’s a question…Do you forgive yourself? It seems that many of us struggle with this act-of-the-heart which would release us from something we’ve done in our past and the self-guilt and shame that plagues us.

And then as your endurance grows… Continue reading God’s Gym: Hard Times Build Our Faith Muscles

It's a real process, for sure. It takes time--for me, several decades. It's not a pleasant… Continue reading Onion Layers

Focus! It seems we are always hearing how important focus is to reaching our goals and bringing our desires to us. However, sometimes our focus is totally off. We work hard, do what we think we should, spin our wheels, and run faster on the hamster wheel, only to remain stagnant. Why do you suppose… Continue reading Numb Choices Aren’t Smart
