Here I am. Stuck in worry. Again. I want to share my journey with you. My struggles and my victories. Right now, I am struggling. I had thyroid surgery 26 years ago when a goiter appeared overnight. They first attempted to drain it. That was traumatic for me, as I tried not to swallow as …
I have shared about my struggle with depression and anxiety. My journey has led me through various ways of coping; herbal supplements, prescription medications, healing prayer, and light therapy. I remember God hitting the reset button through one such healing prayer. It was awesome. Still, God spoke into my spirit, telling me this would be …
Over the last week, I have been spiraling down. My thoughts, becoming more negative. I began to question why I am so open about my health and my struggles, posting my life on Facebook and this blog for everyone to see. The answer I gave myself was - I have no friends. Most people would …
I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you. Psalm 131:2 TPT If I'm being honest, I truly thought this time would bring me into a closer relationship with God. I had thought all this …

Just taking a break from writing my novel. Yep! That’s right! I’m actually doing it! I have had two different story lines in my head for years and when I saw an email for the NaNoWriMo challenge I left it in my inbox for weeks while I drummed up the courage to take the pledge …
Stuck in the mud, Stuck in the mire. I'm feeling so cold I can't find my fire. My dreams are all broken, They lie on the floor. I've one foot frozen And one out the door. My mind is uneasy, My heart is a mess, My life, where it's headed Is anyone's guess. Wishing I …
