‘ Christ is not my security against the storms of life. He is my perfect security in the storms.’ [Borrowed] Darkness and light, colors that blend perfectly together. This is how I find life at times. A well crafted mix of joy and pain with equal comfort and distress. Storms rage but there is peaceContinue reading “His Why”

Because He Did
“I want to stand beside people on the street and not feel beneath them.“ – Liz Murray, ‘Homeless to Harvard’ Because You said yes, today I live. I rise with the dawn, reminded of whose I am. When fear seems bigger than my faith, You send courage my way. You gave me space to breathe,Continue reading “Because He Did”
Yours or Mine
Recently I’ve had a few moments here in the Southeast when I felt like complaining about our 60 degree weather. Then a friend of mine shared this picture from her area in upstate New York. Have you ever thought that you were in an uncomfortable place until you heard about someone else’s problem? Would youContinue reading “Yours or Mine”
All I Need
As a mom of two boys, I had front row seats to the battle with clutter. Toys, gadgets, clothes, and more toys. The second time around as a mom, I was over it in many ways. I realized my son never asked for the excesses. Many of the toys and gadgets were ignored after aContinue reading “All I Need”
The Sun Rises on Her
So often women [and men] struggle with their sense of worth and value. Words spoken and received have a way of ‘manipulating’ our thought patterns for good or bad. I suppose many of us have discovered that it’s not necessarily what others think about us that truly matters, it’s what we believe about ourselves. ThisContinue reading “The Sun Rises on Her”
That War
Today we are reminded that freedom ‘to be and do’ is something we thirst for as humans. I can’t even begin to imagine what it feels like to be a ‘caged bird’. I’d like to believe that freedom is also important to God. The prison of hate, addiction, bitterness, unforgiveness, narcissism, fear, and uncontrolled angerContinue reading “That War”
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”
Crack Me Up
Live. Laugh. Love. Did you have one of that wall plaque? I did. For some reason we needed that reminder. Life can get serious pretty fast, sucking the joy out of every moment. Laughter adds music and life to living. From childhood to adulthood, I have found every reason to laugh. That’s just who IContinue reading “Crack Me Up”
You Left Me
The cry of many hearts for years, decades and even a lifetime. ‘You left me’. This morning, I reflected on a college mate of mine whose story touched my heart as teenager. I’ll call her ‘Anya’ for the purpose of this post. Her mother left her as a young girl with her dad and brothers.Continue reading “You Left Me”
He Lied
A few weeks ago I asked someone in my circle to do something – nothing really serious. He gave me the impression that he did when in fact he hadn’t done what I asked. It wasn’t a big deal, I moved on and got it done otherwise. The truth is, I was oblivious to theContinue reading “He Lied”
