Soulish Things

Wake Up, Sleeper

Well, no wonder! Even Satan can disguise himself to look like an angel of light! ”  2Cor11:14. ** It’s amazing the things that you don’t know until your eyes are opened.

Start Again

"Starting over can be challenging, but also it can be a great opportunity to do things differently." ** There’s nothing wrong with starting over. There’s nothing wrong with starting from the bottom again, especially when you know that moving forward from where you are at is no longer an option. Sometimes t…

Surrender

“I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.”   – Aristotle Today was a day unlike any other day.     I said that I’d give up something each day for the vision. What have I given up? Today, I gave up my desire for things to go my way. Yesterda…

Dirt Roads

“Go back?" he thought. "No good at all! Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" So up he got, and trotted along with his little sword held in front of him and one hand feeling the wall, and his heart all of a patter and a pitter.”  ―  J.R.R. Tolkien,  The Hobbit *** It took me …

You Make Me Brave

Bravery, be my friend! When you come across various posts on social media of relationship fall outs, friendship fall outs, it seems there has to be a villain and a hero.  The hero is the one who was wronged but finally found their voi…

Poison

Once upon a time, someone said a certain behaviour I had exhibited was toxic. I didn’t disagree with this person at the time; not because I thought they were right, but I realized that this person was hellbent on misunderstanding me and dismissing my feelings.  In hindsight, I had to take responsibility for emotions t…

Strong Towers

The Tower-of-Strength stood in the middle of the city; all the men and women of the city along with the city's leaders fled there and locked themselves in.  |Judges 9:51| ** Always run to the strong tower. As Christians, Jesus is our strong tower. The story of Abimelech (Judges 9) is ministering to me this week …

Accountability & Responsibility

Seventy Two Hours

I briefly talked with a guy who quit his job to start his business with a friend. But then the friend pulled out a month later. And he kept going but I guess things didn’t go as planned. He’s a digital marketer. I thought it was admirable at the time, but as I lay in bed, I can’t help but think of him. He said he spen…

Roosevelt I’ve heard people say when they decided to change their life they changed their routine, they read new or different books, they actively did something. When their life w…

Valentine

Once upon a time, a friend sent this to me. I found it, and I thought I'd share it, as it is the month of love.  ** You remind me a great deal of art   An art collector spends a great deal of time to find an appropriate piece.
