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?

Focus On The Light

  From the book Indestructible by Blake Healy, these sentences really grabbed my attention: "The enemy is fighting to get you to see things his way because a simple act can release a massive amount of God's goodness, leaving a mark that can last for generations."   Satan does not want us to realize the… Continue reading Focus On The Light

Ever Feel Like You don’t Belong?

There are so many things I’d love to tell you in my her-story, but today I want to mention two pivotal times in my life. First, here’s a… Continue reading A Lil’ Bit About Me

Nope!

“In all things give thanks.” There is a reason the scripture instructs us to live like this. Do you know that negativity can’t live (lodge) in a thankful heart? I had a conversation the other day with a young woman who said something interesting. She said that for some people negativity is all they know.… Continue reading Nope!
