Not long ago I sent a link to one of my post to someone I’ve known for quite awhile. Without thinking much about it, I added the note, ‘ You may know someone who struggles with this’. Later she responded, ‘ I am the someone’. I am reminded of the reason we write, the reasonContinue reading “I am The Someone”

Cycle Breaker
I borrowed this from someone in ‘Twitterverse’. It speaks to the sheer grit and resilience that we see around us ever so often. Many times they are clothed with grace and humility. We admire their resoluteness, guts and tenacity in midst of chaos and pain. They may have stumbled a time or two but wouldContinue reading “Cycle Breaker”
How Did I Get Here?
Recently , for the first time I truly listened to the lyrics of the song ‘Slow Fade’ by Casting Crowns. It really hit me in that spot. ‘People never crumble in a day…It’s a slow fade’. This just started a churning in my heart and mind. Have you noticed the increased instances of people, families,Continue reading “How Did I Get Here?”
I Cry
Some months ago this was my ‘current situation’. I penned these words as a way to help release the ache in my heart. Ever so often I cry. Life is hard. There’s much pain all around. Scriptures remind us that God ‘bottles’ the tears of His children. My mind’s eyes sees a loving Father catchingContinue reading “I Cry”
Lost
Has someone ever taken front seat in your mind? You haven’t seen them in awhile – haven’t spoken much. Then you sense that need to check in. I find it takes us being intentional when that need captures our heart. There’s a reason we were ‘entrusted’ with that desire. We have a responsibility to notContinue reading “Lost”
Awaken
” I feel so lost. Felt like I lost myself trying to please everyone.” This was a line I heard in a movie recently. A comment from a woman whose husband walked away after she spent years living for him – losing her identity and sense of self. Her friend responded, ” You’re not lost.Continue reading “Awaken”
Reminders
I got up this morning with the intent to share something- I went blank. Not that I have nothing to say. Many thoughts and ideas swirled around my mind, but nothing grabbed me from that ‘place’. That place of passion and meaningfulness. As my fingers hit the keyboard, I realized that it was okay. IContinue reading “Reminders”
Those Desires
This past week I reflected a bit on those deep desires that we sometimes can’t seem to shake. Year in and year out they remain unmoved. They are with us when we go to sleep and when we wake up. Though we try to bury them, they resurrect at the most expected time. We reasonContinue reading “Those Desires”
Fully Known
Just a reminder – We are fully known and unconditionally loved by the One who took the time to knit us together in our mother’s womb. You are enough – I am enough! We can do nothing to make Him love us anymore or any less. However, He doesn’t control our will and our choices.Continue reading “Fully Known”
She’s Royal
Another post about the recent weekend with my high school graduating class! In my previous post we celebrated the boys who became men in their own rights. We all know that behind every great man is a royal queen or princess. You don’t have to agree with me, but our creator designed it that way.Continue reading “She’s Royal”
