A former schoolmate of mine posted this picture and asked us to to title it. ‘Broken But Still Standing’. This was the thought that immediately came to mind as I looked at this house. This house that once was a home. Now broken, ignored, void of laughter and life, but still standing. As we celebrateContinue reading “Still Standing”

For Him
Recently I had a conversation with one of my sister girls – about the men in our lives. We talked about our sons. We ended our conversation with the resolve that we believe they will walk into their God-given destiny. They were born for and with a purpose. Men. They come by all different names.Continue reading “For Him”
Afraid
This morning I had a conversation with God. A ‘truth in the inward parts’ moment. ” Father I want to believe for this to workout but I’m afraid of being disappointed. Show me how to do this.” I’ve felt this way before – many times. This is the first time I’ve ever said it toContinue reading “Afraid”
A little Kindness
This is the month so many focus on the one(s) we love. Let’s begin with a little kindness. I want to be the ‘change I want to see’. How about you? Sometimes the people who need this the most appear to be so happy, strong and confident. Inside they maybe dying – worn out andContinue reading “A little Kindness”
Look Up
Sometimes our world feels like a dark night. Our lights dimmed by the toxicity, hatred and confusion that may be spewed at us. Sometimes we are numb from the pain of our present circumstances. I find if we take a minute to pause and look up – we’ll see that there is beauty all around.Continue reading “Look Up”
By Design
Day 30 – ‘Myself as a Tree’ #bloganuary2022 By design. The thought that comes to mind when I think about much of nature. The palm tree is truly fascinating. Have you ever observed it in a storm? It’s a thing of beauty. It sways and bends, almost to a point of breaking. But – itContinue reading “By Design”
She Changes Her World
Day 29 – How you have changed the world #bloganuary2022 I have always had a struggle identifying heroes in my life. Even as a child, when asked to write an essay about that topic, I found it difficult. One day I realized that the people I admired the most, were the ordinary everyday men andContinue reading “She Changes Her World”
Play On
Day 28 – Music on My Play List #bloganuary2022 “Where words fail, music speaks.” Hans Christian Anderson My fellow countryman, Bob Marley, in one of his songs said, “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.” There is some truth to that. I have found however that music can take youContinue reading “Play On”
A Better Me
Day -26 ‘Favorite Thing About Me’ #bloganuary2022 I’m not sure when or why. Maybe it’s motherhood. Possibly it’s because of the times I’ve failed miserably. Could be that I have come to embrace the fact that I am inherently fractured – flawed. Probably it is the amazing privilege I’ve been afforded to cross paths withContinue reading “A Better Me”
Because of You
Day 25 – ‘ What Makes me Strong’ #bloganuary2022 It is in my weakness that I find strength in the only One who loves me beyond measure. I walk through the twists and turns of life infused with His strength. So I am no longer at war with the cracks in the flawed me. IContinue reading “Because of You”
