“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
“But Jesus refused to listen to what they were saying”, and said to Jairus—who had just been told his daughter had died, they were too late, no need to bother Jesus with this anymore—“Don’t yield to fear. All you need to do is keep on believing.” See Mark 5 for the account. Jesus proceeded… Continue reading Do Not Listen to the Voice of Fear!
Hey, do you need a bit o' inspiration? When my world fell apart, and I began rebuilding my life, God told me I was free from lies and to quit living small. God had a plan when He created me, and with Him, I could fulfill that plan. I found this quote early in that… Continue reading Don’t Tell Me
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?

Seriously, once you share the hard stuff, several things happen:* it's not as devastating because it's no longer hidden* you actually "hear" it as told to someone else and often make more sense of it* your story helps someone* you take away the paralyzing power of what happened to you,… Continue reading Tell Your Story!

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
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?
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
