Talk to Me
Writing Prompt- ‘What Topics do you like to discuss?’ I’ve never met a girl who doesn’t like to talk. We may choose our topics wisely but we love to talk. As we mature, I find my friends and I love to reminisce. Remembering our childhood sins is a great topic – like the one above.Continue reading “Talk to Me”
Where I sit
This morning as I walked towards my classroom a student stopped me with an expression of pure joy. He had passed a test that was very important to him. I celebrated the moment with him and encouraged him to keep pursuing his goals. As I entered my room, I glanced at my chair. Immediately, IContinue reading “Where I sit”

Just Sit
Last night after one of my late classes, I sat in my car in the parking lot and just stared. The students were all gone and a few cars were there – maybe the security and custodial staff for the college. It was almost 9PM and I needed to sit for a minute. Am IContinue reading “Just Sit”

Peace no longer evades me as I learned to stop trying to control the outcomes. I embraced my limitations and trusted the only One who knows all things. I gave Him latitudeContinue reading “I Sleep”
The Applause
Encouragement, reassurance and support are all good for the soul. They spur us on, especially in times of discouragement and negative self talk. However I’ve learned to be wary of how addicted I am to the applause of others. Their applause may stop and when it does – we can start to question who weContinue reading “The Applause”
Trade-ins
We’ve been told that in life you can have it all. Until we grew up and found out otherwise. I’ve learned to be careful of the trade-ins I make daily. With wisdom and discernment, I’ve discovered that I can either be right or have peace. Sometimes [or most times] in life, we can’t have both.Continue reading “Trade-ins”
Say It
Have ever felt disappointed by or even angry at God? The part of you that’s sane knows that He’s all just, all true, and all perfect. He makes no mistakes – His love is unconditional and limitless. Why would I – mere mortal- dare to even question His ways or His acts? I don’t know.Continue reading “Say It”
Flawed and Chosen
This week while reading about the events leading up to the crucifixion as recorded in Matthew 26, something interesting caught my attention. Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him later. Peter passionately disagreed – ‘Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same. WhatContinue reading “Flawed and Chosen”
