Interrupted

** Why did you stop caring? I recognized that self-awareness is optional for some. And as long as the train is running uninterrupted, then it isn't a priority. Thus, I decided it's noise, and it's getting compartmentalized as such. What do you think will result from doing so? I don't know. Perh…

See Light

"For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light." Psalm 36:9 *** There are times when you may go through some things, and you can't see past where you are, because where you are is the only tangible reality that you can perceive. I've certainly been there before. However, when t…

Unscathed

I have to give glory to God for life. I don't always appreciate life until something devastating happens. There are losses that I've experienced that felt as though they were the end of the road for me. But recently, God reminded me that a lot of things that we lose can be replaced. And for those thing…

Declaration of War

" But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Chris t" - 1Corinthians15:57 ** I've read a book or two that suggested that most people see wars and focus on losses incurred, and the devastation experienced - both at home and abroad. Meanwhile, others see an opportunity …

Audacity

I stumbled upon a clip on TikTok of President Donald Trump declaring that they've won the war in Iran. I didn't listen to the entire clip, and I briefly skimmed the comments before moving on. The comments were as expected, but as I scrolled away I wondered why he'd declare that. Of course it sounds rid…

Don't Forget Me

“Don’t forget us.” These seemingly harmless words have far reaching implications. I’ve been reading the novel, Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga, and when these words were spoken to the main character by her mother, I chuckled wryly. I say it’s a harmless phrase, because the same words have come out of my…

A Little Motivation

A new month is an opportunity to begin with a new mindset , or continue the work that you're doing with a fresh mindset. It's like coming up for air to take in how far you've come. I began the year with the goal of reading at least one book a month . I fumbled last month; I don't kno…

Fumbling Your Start Day

It's March 3rd. On March 1st, I intended to start this month strong; I had a list of things that I needed to get myself on the right track. My sister and I had shared our goals on the last day of February, but when March 1st came, the morning slipped away and the afternoon became busier than expected. The window…

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…
