Restored Heart

Today- You Were On My Mind

Today I thought about you – I prayed for you: I pray that God would begin to move and re-arrange all that’s in your life May He begin to order your steps in His word May His love bathe and wash over your heart That you’ll begin to desire only what He desires for youContinue reading “Today- You Were On My Mind”

Sad Eyes

I love this picture. I look so happy and at peace, don’t I? The irony is that this picture was taken during one of the saddest, darkest seasons of my life. Not even the person who took this picture knew what I was walking through. Isn’t it funny how we smile when the camera comesContinue reading “Sad Eyes”

Why Didn’t You…?

Have you ever found your yourself consciously or subconsciously checking God on something? The conversation might go like this, “God why didn’t you…? You knew what would happen. Why didn’t you…? You are omniscient – You always know what lies ahead. ” Some of us are angry at God or may be disappointed with HimContinue reading “Why Didn’t You…?”

Girl Like Me- Confession

I am perfectly flawed. This is my mid-week confession. I don’t do ‘waiting’ very well. At times it smells like ungratefulness mixed with discontent. One moment I think I’ve mastered the art of complete trust in God and in the process. The next – I’m a mess. Maybe you’re a ‘girl like me’ [or aContinue reading “Girl Like Me- Confession”

Thought You’d Like to Know

Dear Younger Me, It’s some forty-something years late but I felt the need to write to you. There are somethings I thought you’d like to know. First I wanted you to know that you were meant to be here. You were created to thrive not just survive. To live not just exist. Your heavenly FatherContinue reading “Thought You’d Like to Know”

Same Steps

Legacy is an amazing thing! I went back to college a second time when my son was a baby. That’s me at my graduation, twenty-something years old and my son – 3 years old. In 2015, my son graduated from the same college. Here we are – I am sitting on the same steps bothContinue reading “Same Steps”

A Small Cloud

This week I made a joke with one of my students. She didn’t like it and proceeded to tell me so. I apologized. She then left my class. Not one of my finest moments. As I reflected on my response, I smiled. There was a time when I would have been moved from my placeContinue reading “A Small Cloud”

Legacy- Then and Now

I had to do this post sometime. The time is now. Of course, February is not the only time we celebrate love and history – but there’s no better time than the present. This story of love and legacy began way before I was born. It began in the 1950s, but was cemented in January,Continue reading “Legacy- Then and Now”

Speak To Me

This photo was taken by a friend of mine who has been honing her craft beautifully. Thank you GNC for allowing me to use this! It’s funny how we pass trees everyday but somehow ignore their magnificence. I wondered if they could speak to us, what they would say. After all, we have the sameContinue reading “Speak To Me”

This Day

Today – TWOSDAY [ Tuesday, 2/22/22]- is a one-time special day. As a little girl, I remember 7/7/77 and all the drama surrounding it. Just like mid-night 12/31/1999. I remember exactly where I was. The world was expected to come to stop on 1/1/2000. Do you remember? For some reason there are some days thatContinue reading “This Day”
