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”

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”
I Am Her
Not because I am strong, but His strength infuses me. I have been equipped with all I need to accomplish my God-given purpose. Not that I have always believed it, but You said ‘I am Her’. Follow the bread crumbs and you’ll see the trail that leads to my long list of missteps. None ofContinue reading “I Am Her”
Then and Now
He’s now in his early 30s and I am no longer in my 20s. He now makes way more money than I do and for some reason thinks he’s smarter. Thankfully, time has been kind to us both. As we watch our children come into their own, we often wonder where the time went. SeasonsContinue reading “Then and Now”
Just As I am
Today while doing some hated chores, I reflected on some of my oddities or idiosyncrasies. The peculiarities that make us unique. The things that make people love us or leave us. I can’t explain mine away. I smiled for a minute. At this season in my life, some things won’t change. I’ll always wash myContinue reading “Just As I am”
Beautifully Clothed
Somewhere after I turned 45, comfort became the reason behind my choice of clothing. While I loved looking cute and all dolled-up, I was over uncomfortable clothing. My body parts had suffered enough including my feet. Today, I love anything that hugs me beautifully and reflects the kind of girl I am. Beyond the garbContinue reading “Beautifully Clothed”
Never
In the darkest of moments, when doubts and fear invade your space – be assured that you can NEVER be so far that God can’t reach you. Your transgression can never so great that God will not hear you. God loved you before you performed well, before you performed badly. You are loved whether youContinue reading “Never”
I’m Trying
I’ve been on a mini staycation for the last view days. Unwinding, recalibrating and relaxing- by myself. I took this picture as a reminder of the imperfect me; the one I’m working on. At home I noticed this behavior: I have a habit of leaving cabinet and cupboard doors opened. They don’t stay open forContinue reading “I’m Trying”
Those Interruptions
Have you noticed how impatient we’ve become as a society? Not only have we come to despise waiting but we have little tolerance for imperfection. Heaven forbid our packages don’t arrive when we expect them to, our service providers have some glitches, the repairman man is late or the meeting is delayed. Our response toContinue reading “Those Interruptions”
Grace Enough
It takes time and a certain level of maturity to wait and pray in expectation knowing that God may not respond the way you’d like. To find yourself at peace with His ‘no’ and to be truly okay with it. I’ve come to understand that ‘My grace is enough’ is often God’s answer to ourContinue reading “Grace Enough”
