A couple of weeks ago I posted Do Not Trespass. I shared how many of the cracks and crevices of fear and worry etc. were exposed to the Light. And while I am human and will always experience those feelings, I was set free… Continue Reading “Christmas: do not trespass”

For three years I have been broken open, exposed, recreated…it’s been painful physically, emotionally, spiritually. Soul piercing. Oh, there were days (weeks, months) where I wanted it ALL to change, to go away, to wake up from a bad dream. But now…I can say,… Continue Reading “Do not trespass”

The battle of the last three years is once again changing. This enemy keeps changing the rules and each time I take the bait and let fear, worry, and sorrow cloud out God, good, and promises. As many of you know, my hero, my… Continue Reading “I am, I will”

My best friend needed encouragement. Problem is, she lives 3000+ miles away. I texted her this: “You are loved, you are enough, Jesus says so.” Later I thought: this is truth, one of the authors in the Bible should have written that. But wait…they… Continue Reading “Jesus says so”

Usually, when we least expect it, something happens that slows the path we’re on. Often unwelcome. For me this week it’s been a mild illness – so mild it’s hard to name it, but enough to break up my rhythm and hinder my plans.… Continue Reading “Unexpected slowing”

Interesting but true: to a person, I can say without doubt what we really want most out of life is to be loved. Just-as-we-are. And the Bible reminds us, “God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” (1John… Continue Reading “Price you pay”

The river near where we live is the color of iced tea – not because of pollution, because of tannins and a high iron content. As I looked out to the horizon, the water looked bluest blue. But when I looked to where it… Continue Reading “Rest”

Looking up I noticed light creeping through the window edges, the fringes of dawn. As I raised the curtains I smiled at the beginning of a new day. I’m a morning person; I love first light. I’m also a walking, hiking person. Give me… Continue Reading “No comparison”
