I just downloaded an app so I can access my blog on my phone! It got me thinking about how technology has brought the world to our fingertips. How we can bring an amazing amount of information around with us right in our pocket! We can search for a five star restaurant, see what's on …

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.
How Many Ways
Just putting it out there. This is a rough draft of a song I'm writing. I just wanted to post something other than all my stuff about depression. I usually post my poetry and such on my other blog, (openingthecreativedoor.blogspot.com) but I usually don't like to post any songs I write, just in case they …
My New Perspective on Thoughts
I am not very good with homework. I always put it off until the last minute, but, this session of counseling really intrigued me. Dr. Karen gave me examples of one situation, the different thoughts one might have, the different feelings they inspire, and the actions that result. She explained that our thoughts can come …
Instead
I wish all things in life were smooth and without hiccups, but alas, they are not. I refer to my last post - I was feeling like I had already arrived when now, I discover, I am far from reaching bliss. The sun comes out and promise comes with it, but then come the clouds, …
I’m Not Alone!
I'm in the process of receiving help. And the funny thing is it took me awhile to see it was the right thing for me to do. Have you heard the story of the man in the flood crying out to God for help and he drowned, never recognizing that God had sent help in …
A Whisper at a Rock Concert
I decided to try to find my blog, (my other blog,) using a key word; and I discovered that it is next to impossible! Using just one word there were 46.5 million posts! If I only continue writing based on my significance or importance in the world wide web I'm afraid I just don't matter. …
Embracing God
I struggle still with what it means to live in grace and the moving forward into the new and improved version of me. I've come across this scripture twice now recently, in Romans 12, The Message version: "Embracing what God does for (me) is the best thing (I) can do for him." This helps me …

Yay for Chocolate Pudding!
One thing I have missed going dairy-free is pudding. As a kid growing up I would savor every bite then lick the bowl! It was one of the first foods I learned to "cook". My husband's not a big fan so he doesn't miss it, but I work as a grocery checker and I see …
Too Good to be True?
Sometimes I find it difficult to accept God’s love. It seems to good to be true! Everything else in life is geared toward earning rewards. Yet God sees fit to love me and give me eternal life. No work required. Free gift. Amazing! You try that in any relationship. “Hon, I think you can do …
