Free

There's a quote attributed to Nelson Mandela that says, " May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears ."       I hope to live this out this year. I hope for my choices to reflect the vision that is in my heart, the hopes in my heart and the dreams that I've always had. I hope that regardles…

Through the Wilderness

Whenever I used to hear about wilderness seasons, I actually imagined being in a forest, enveloped by that strange silence of being in the middle of nowhere and having fresh air tinged with the smell of earth, and trees, but still clean; no compass, no sense of direction -- just trying to find one’s way. I think tha…

Scattered Pieces

My husband bought a 500-piece puzzle to work on. It wasn't something I intended to join him in; the last time I did any sort of puzzle was in elementary school, I think. It’s not my go-to form of relaxation. But while home alone, attempting to avoid watching another episode (that I've already watched) of   S…

If It Had Not Been For The Lord

" If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say: If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us then they would have swallowed us up..." Psalm 124:1+   I remembered this scripture in the early hours of the morning while reflecting on a discussion a…

Keep Going

There are a lot of things that we worry about in life. Dare I say, the worry is valid. But for every worry that is weighing you, challenging your hope, causing anxiety, write down a positive outcome contrary to it.  Stand on that. There are environments that are detrimental to your productivity. So, you must mentall…

Tip-Toeing Foundations

Change. I guess change is hard, isn't it? You go from doing something one way, believing a certain way, functioning a particular way, and, " all of a sudden, " you have to change everything. You have to learn a different way that takes a bit more time, or requires more effort, more energy, more sacrifi…

Naked In A Crowded Room

Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered. Proverbs11:13 ** I remember sharing something personal with someone, and asking that person to keep it between the two of us, only for what I shared to get back to me through another person shortly afterwards. I h…

The Myth of the Perfect Solution

I think we often assume the challenges of faith require a specific solution all the time. For example, if someone has a headache, we may suggest Tylenol, Ibuprofen, drinking water, rest, or another specific remedy. I have personally never heard anyone saying "just endure it" as a solution. To be fa…

The Reason For Saying Thank You

Recently, as I was about to make a request to God for a matter that has been on my mind, my request suddenly turned to a prayer of thanksgiving. It wasn’t on purpose; my intention was to plead with God about the matter, but instead it became a prayer of thankfulness for the thing. This isn’t the first time this has ha…

Let God Arise

" Let God arise, and his enemies be scattered. Let those that hate him flee before him .” |Psalm 68:1| ** Every start of a new year I expect the year to be different. I make plans, set goals, and  envision things that I expect to see come to fruition. But I have been feeling a bit hesitant to make plans because…
