For the next month or two you will see some things on here that maybe don't fit too well. That's because I'm going through an on-line course on writing and blogging. So my assignment was to examine myself and what upsets me and I just wanted to share. I don't know why I let this …

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.
Risking
On a scale of 1-10, my anxiety level has been hanging out around a 6 or 7 lately and that's with taking my anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication. So what's going on? - Lots! I hope you don't mind some rambling, because that's just what I need right now and I know there's got to be someone out …

Stumbling Blocks
I found this through a reblog at A DEVOTED LIFE by JDBlom. It was inspiring and a great reminder to check my own behaviors.
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—even as I [Paul] try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. (1 Corinthians 10:32-33 NIV)
Physically, I can stumble over a light beam on the floor. I am not the most steady person in the world. When I trip, it usually hurts. When I fall, I have a big problem. If I am outside, I am unable to get up without help. If I am inside my apartment, I can usually get up. I am extremely grateful that when I am out with people, they try to help…not cause me to stumble and fall. No matter how steady we…

Trust Is Not Blind
I held fear before my eyes 'Til all I saw was my demise Anxious thoughts scratched and clawed And tore my face away from God. For man may come to cut and take But will I allow my faith to shake? Nothing can separate me from the One Whose love shines stronger than the sun. …
Giving In to Tears
My mind is struggling with putting down the words to describe my conflicted reasoning. It seems I have come up to face a paradox of faith: Trusting in God while trying to make sense out of my troubles. Trying to determine what it is I should be doing, is not always a clear and concise …
Our Mothering Nature
All women are not mothers, but all women are called to mother. To mother is to nurture, to train, to educate, to rear. As daughters of Eve, all women are uniquely gifted to help others in their lives become more of who they truly are - to encourage, nurture, and mother them toward their true …
Computer Withdrawl
My computer isn't working 😦 I'm feeling a little lost without it. Writing on a cell phone just doesn't stimulate my creativity. Besides I can barely read what I'm writing. I hate to admit my computer dependency, but I miss it and I won't be able to find out if it can be fixed for …
In Sickness, and In Health
We always want the good part of the wedding vows to be all there is to marriage, but love would be shallow if that was our experience. This season has been full of trials for my husband and I. It would have been easier if we took turns being on the negative end but for …
