Day 10- Five Things I am Grateful for Today #bloganuary Gratefulness is a wonderful garment. It looks good on whoever chooses to wear it.

The Pink Door
Did you have one of these in 2021? No…I don’t mean a literal pink door. Let me unpack this a bit. This pink door ended up in my home in 2021. Don’t ask!! I hated it -still do. For me, it represents things that I had to deal with (or live with) even though IContinue reading “The Pink Door”

I wrote down the words that flowed through my spirit: “Your Journey- trials and challenges- was not intended to harm you. I broke you so I can pour out of you and use thatContinue reading “Gracefully Broken”
Just Me..
As a young girl I discovered that My amazing Father wanted to walk with me through this journey of life in an intimate way. He really listens and He gets me! I used to climb a tree in my front yard just as the sun was setting and talk with the One who loved meContinue reading “Just Me..”
