I thought this post was excellent! It made me want to go find someone to listen to, to see how I'm doing.

I hope to share Christ in the way I know best; through honest sharing, poetry, songs, and photography. And I look forward to connecting with others on this journey.
Gracious Love
I committed to my friend, Darla, that through the month of April I would email her everyday as I work on writing a 30 day devotional. The scripture and insight for today I want to share with you all. 1 John 3:1-2, 11, & 18 The Voice (VOICE) 1 Consider the kind of extravagant love …
Here With Me
You may have noticed I have been going through a rough patch. I have been doubting myself and my ability to share anything here that would matter. I've been challenged with a bout of anxiety, depression, and SAD. Yet, there is still a battle going on inside that fights to be heard, to quiet the …
Being a Firework
Photo Courtesy of PDPhoto.org I was thinking I needed to get back to writing my blog, with more emphasis on something good or helpful. Taking one of my ideas and running with it. That's when I realized, like the song, I am a firework. I have times when I am excited and I have these …
Beauty For Ashes
Isaiah 61:3 The Voice (VOICE) 3 As for those who grieve over Zion, God has sent me to give them a beautiful crown in exchange for ashes, To anoint them with gladness instead of sorrow, to wrap them in victory, joy, and praise instead of depression and sadness.

Fatigued, Frustrated, and Failing
Sometimes being open about your life means sharing the mess. My goal is to encourage others, but today I will remember that it's okay to need encouragement. Matthew 5:45 - "...For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike." (NLT) I …
Crashing Head On Into The Future
My last quick post was just to let you know about my crash, but now I'm further into the story and have a bit to tell you. First more pictures: The accident began a stress filled week for me! I took a week of my vacation, and cancelled my birthday party because the snow was …
Crushing or Crashing?
So I really wanted to invite everyone to try this Valentine's challenge that we got in our buletins last Sunday. See pic: I thought this was a great idea, especially since my birthday falls into this week. (The "crushing" in my title refers to my crush on my husband!) But then when I was on …
My List – My Last 500 Word Entry
As I come to the close of the My 500 Words challenge, I would consider it a positive experience. I was able to look through many good things in my life. I am thankful for the opportunity to share and I feel supported by my writing community. The issue I'm facing now is feeling directionless …
