Some days my heart and mind feel like a tangled mess. Through my lens, life can appear unfair and perplexing. Like Job in the scriptures, I wonder why things go the way they do when I do my best to do the right thing. Such was my state of mind when I had this candidContinue reading “Tangled Pieces”

Perfect Strength
Certainly, if we are looking here on earth for perfect strength– in these human vessels, we will be sadly disappointed. We find ourselves unable to do right when it truly matters, the seeming unfixable in life stumps us sapping what little energy we have. We come face to face with the limitations of being humanContinue reading “Perfect Strength”

One moment I think I’ve mastered the art of complete trust in God and in the process. The next – I’m a mess. Maybe you’re a ‘girl like me’ [or aContinue reading “Girl Like Me- Confession”
