The longer I live the more I embrace the idea that nothing about my life is random. Whether my encounters make sense or not , whether I understand them or not – I believe in a divine design. What I may call a random act may just be God giving me an opportunity to beContinue reading “Random or By Design?”

She Emerged
This is HER. She emerged on the other side wiser, stronger, quieter, encased in grace and mercy. She is purposefully peaceful as she chooses her battles wisely. She exercises prudence as she carefully decides when to enter and when to leave. When to say yes and when to say no. She has learned who andContinue reading “She Emerged”
You Say
Recently I heard someone say that your tongue is a rudder that determines the direction of the ship you’re sailing in. In essence, what you constantly say or repeat will often influence the direction you’ll be steered in through out life. Scriptures speak about the power of the tongue : “Death and life are inContinue reading “You Say”
Releasing Control
I wish aging was optional – don’t you? It’s not, but maturing certainly is a choice. With the years come some hard learned lessons. One that has been truly real for me is discerning between the things I can change and those I cannot. Then knowing what to do this new found reality. It seemsContinue reading “Releasing Control”
July -Then & Now
I don’t always think about this day, but today I did. July 3rd is the anniversary of my departure from my beloved island nation. Over 30+ years ago, I left the ‘Land of Wood and Water’ for the streets of the Big Apple. In my limited thinking, my world had collapsed. Everything that meant anythingContinue reading “July -Then & Now”
For Peace Sake
My need to be ‘right’. Truthfully I’d rather be happy and at peace than to parade the fact that ‘I am right’. Being right is highly over rated . While I don’t think we should ignore or deny our personal values or convictions, there are such things as futile arguments. Those that accomplish nothing, drainContinue reading “For Peace Sake”
Reset
It’s summer y’all! Take a moment to reset. There are many things that we have no control over – let’s breathe and release those to the One who never gets overwhelmed. The One who holds the nations in the palm of His hands- yet takes the time to invite us into relationship. Then there areContinue reading “Reset”
My Companion
Isn’t it funny how the meditations of our hearts and mind can hold us captive at the most unlikely moments? I find that my car is often my space – my creative room. I have started keeping this little blue book beside me as a constant companion. Sometimes I need to capture it all inContinue reading “My Companion”
I’m Free
I’ve learned the art of saying no – no to them and no to me. I am free to do nothing and go nowhere, if I so choose. Guilt is no longer my bedpartner when I choose me. There are no apologies for not wanting to. Where ever I show up, I am there 100%.Continue reading “I’m Free”
A Day Of Grace
Let’s be honest; many are not the dads we wanted. They don’t all show up like this. We don’t all have these treasured, unforgettable moments with them. The memories are often the ones we want to forget. Marred with coldness, disconnection, lies, hurt, abuse, rejection and abandonment. Some tried, but even at their best theyContinue reading “A Day Of Grace”
