Yesterday I had a conversation with a friend about affairs of the heart among other things. She’s been married twice. I have never been. While sharing, I commented on the fact that I’ve had many potential loves who’ve walked in and out of the doors of my life. BUT honestly- I can’t say there’s oneContinue reading “I Would, If I Could”

I Call Him Father
What we call people is most likely hinged to our connection or relationship with them. I often read or listen to people referring to God in different ways. It is quite possible that we also speak of Him based on how we relate to Him. Because of what I’ve discovered and experienced with God, IContinue reading “I Call Him Father”
Troubled One
If impossibility was a person, many may say we’ve met. Sometimes she shows up at the most unexpected time. For many, she’s that unwelcomed visitor that comes to discourage and distract. It’s good to know there’s One who is never surprised. If we trust Him – His plans are perfect. Trust this: For I knowContinue reading “Troubled One”
Lately
Lately I’ve been missing and I know it. Writing hasn’t been taking up much space at my table these days. To be transparent, I’ve been struggling just to read posts from even some of my of my favorite bloggers. I need time to walk through and navigate this season in a healthy way. Reading andContinue reading “Lately”
Stretched
This school year I accepted a challenge to work with some students whose English skills are much lower than my usual group. It wasn’t what I thought it would be and I find myself being stretched. The class has students from different language backgrounds which poses a challenge all by itself. This is not myContinue reading “Stretched”
In My Feelings
It’s midday and I have the day off. I’m lounging on my sofa watching the trees dancing to the beat of the winds and soaking in the rain from the effects of Ms. Idalia. She’s passing by heading somewhere towards the FL gulf coast. What am I feeling right now? How am I feeling rightContinue reading “In My Feelings”
Who Am I ?
Not so long ago I got hit with some news that should have caused me to become frayed at the edges. After my initial— ‘What??’, I proceeded to get some clarification. My next action was to raise my heart in worship. You see I have come to understand that God is God, and I amContinue reading “Who Am I ?”
Hard to Say Goodbye
This past week part of my high school graduating class came together after 40 years. It was something almost ‘other worldly’. Many of us hadn’t seen nor heard from each other in decades. What amazed me the most was how easy it was to reconnect. Sure we had grown up (somewhat😊), but the child inContinue reading “Hard to Say Goodbye”
Count Down
A year ago a small group of us from our high graduating class met for a weekend of fun. Some of us hadn’t seen each other in decades. The coming together was nothing short of fabulous. In a few short days we are going to do this again. This time the number has almost quadrupledContinue reading “Count Down”
The Caged Me
Imprisoned in a world without barsI see you through lens of kindnessEyes of graceI too walked where you now walkIn a crowd yet lostWith a smileAnd a bleeding heart I too once yearned to run freeTo have the shackles brokenWanted the back-breaking burdenTo roll awayDrank a lot of what was offeredYet still thirsty I tooContinue reading “The Caged Me”
