As I pondered about what to write today, my mind kept going back to a teaching I was listening to in my studies this week. Not the whole teaching but the use of the word ”decide”. He explained it as de-side, or take away a side. My mom taught me to love the dictionary. Every …

Looking into the Dark, Looking into the Light.
My journey this year has been life-giving. Each week I watch God bring new pieces of the puzzle for me to fit together. What at first seems random suddenly seems divinely intentional. I am in awe! The picture I posted for this was one I put together in 2018. I was learning a new perspective …

Perception
The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. Matthew 6:22 ESV Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. Luke 11:34 ESV In biblical times testimony wasn’t considered factual …
Light
I believe this is going to be an exciting year for me! Last year was full of difficulty and sorrow. But at the end of the year I had hope. I enrolled in Flourish Writer's Academy and have already felt progress toward my goals as a writer. But this post is not about that, it …
Afraid of God
It's a hard thing to admit. I can't deny it, though. I have always in my head loved and trusted God. But as I try and listen to what he is teaching me in this season, I can't grasp it. From January I was learning how he loves me and holds no record of wrongs, …

I know I will fail. That is the thought that is plaguing me on this day of resolutions. So then the questions beg, "Do I attempt it anyway? Or just resign to my failure before I begin?" As I ponder these questions I begin to understand that just as assuredly as I know I will …

Psalm 62:5-8 NLT Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. O …
H is for…
I’m starting on a sour note, yesterday was a bear and at the end of it all my computer glitched! 😛 So writing about positive changes in a foul mood is not an easy task. But one positive change I Hold On to is Hope! I have to hold on tight, because I am a …
