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 …
I picked this picture (above) and this scripture (below) to represent me in this moment. I don’t ever want to misrepresent myself or my struggles. I am a rollercoaster type. One minute full of excitement, enthusiasm, and inspiration, and the next minute full of doubt, despair, and depression. I absolutely love the top of the …
I am eager to see what direction the Holy Spirit will take this last post. I pray that through this series you have gained more confidence and trust in God as you seek the next step that he has for you. Yesterday, I mentioned there was a scripture about asking for the Holy Spirit, saying …
My concept of the post I was going to write was different than what I will write today. My title for this post came to me last Friday. I started looking up scripture references on hope, but I wasn’t getting the clear picture. It wasn’t until this morning when I had a Zoom call with …
Today, I want to get a head start on what I know is going to happen. How do I know? Because it’s happened before. And, since my 2021 word for the year is Persevere, it’s a safe bet that at some point I will grow weary. There were three areas of my life that God …
There’s a T-shirt I’d like to get with a print of flowers and the scripture about God’s mercies being new every morning.

I am constantly amazed by God’s ability to lead me. Many times in my posts I acknowledge how he speaks to me, or brings things to my attention. Which is reassuring since I’m not consistent in giving him my attention. When I do, and follow the thread that is woven through my world, I discover …
Out of control, that's how I'm feeling today. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm currently staying with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, having evacuated due to wildfires. I'm pretty confident my house will not burn down but the air quality was beyond breathable. Even here it is heavy with smoke. My poor dog is …
I want to thank my readers for allowing me to sort through my faith in this blog. Each Friday post provides me with a way back to God. So often during the week I am submerged in life’s overwhelming ocean of disappointments, challenges, and stresses. Here I find my anchor as I gaze back onto …
Have you ever been in the midst of a stressful situation, wondering if you will ever make it through? Have you ever wanted to give up? Or punch someone? I wish I could say no, but that’s where my husband and I find ourselves now. As we go through this process of purchasing property to …
