When we lay aside the things we think and focus on the things that the Lord says, we can find comfort. Daily we face trials and temptations and we often think we are alone in all this. But we are not. Even if you don’t know my struggle and I don’t know your story, the … Continue reading Surety

Little Thoughts
Uncertainty…the storm approaches but all I feel is calm, a peace during this storm. My thoughts and my trust is in my Lord, the One who made the winds and rains. Why trust anyone or anything other than the Creator and Master of all? Take comfort in God. The Lord has been comforting His Children … Continue reading Little Thoughts
Blinking Cursors
Do you ever want to type a message to someone but you sit there and stare at the blinking cursor, not knowing what to say? Like you have something on your mind, but you can’t get it to meet your fingers or you can’t even form the words? You just sit there and stare, willing … Continue reading Blinking Cursors

Passive
I’m often described as a passive person. I don’t tend to react to things like many people do. I seem to let things just roll off of me and I keep on going. But people who really know me, know that everything has an effect on me. They start to notice the little changes…how I … Continue reading Passive
Possible
What is impossible? Someone sent me a message the other day about how where the impossible begins, that’s where God starts working… I get it. I understand what the person was saying. Whatever we face, God is in control and He makes the impossible possible. The challenges we face mean nothing when God is with … Continue reading Possible
Targets and Mercy
I might be the only person who feels like this, but I feel like I have a target on my back. I feel like people stare daggers through me. But why should they? Really, so much of the time I feel invisible: like I really don’t matter anyway; so why would someone waste their time … Continue reading Targets and Mercy
