It’s been a while since I have written anything. Life was hectic before the storm and since the storm, I feel like I’ve been fighting for life. The storm that hit brought more than just the natural disaster…It brought internal turmoil on every front. I’m going to tell you that God is good. I haven’t … Continue reading Life Lately

As a Last Resort
“Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the humble.” Psalm 10:12 KJV You know, we often think of prayer as a last resort. “Has it come to that” [where prayer is the only thing left to do.] But why do we wait to pray? When prayer is the answer? What more … Continue reading As a Last Resort
Processes
I’d read something somewhere… It was instructions for how to do something, like bicep curls, or something similar. Maybe it was a video… I’m not sure the format, but the point was to go slow. Well, that doesn’t work for me. I get my workouts in where I can and to get the reps, I … Continue reading Processes
Late Night
I read somewhere that people shouldn’t talk about their healing process. That recovery should be done quietly. I guess I understand on some levels where that would be beneficial. You don’t discuss your plans, you just do them. When you want to get ahead at work, you do it, you don’t tell everyone what you’re … Continue reading Late Night
By Grace
I was pregnant with my third child. Now, I must admit, I was not the typical joyful pregnant woman. I was mean and hateful. Every day, I fought the urge to hurt myself. I struggled with depression daily. As soon as the baby came, I was fine. But while the child was growing in my … Continue reading By Grace
New Wine
New wine…we ask God to make us new wine; a new life with new meaning, part of His vine, a branch to bring forth new fruit. Oh, but at the pain we face when being made into new wine. We must be crushed in the press. Left to ferment, uncared for by natural eyes. We … Continue reading New Wine
In The Chaos
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11 (KJV) Lord, bring the Gospel Rain to shower on Your children and quench their thirst. Let Your Bread … Continue reading In The Chaos
This Cup
”saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.“ Luke 22:42 KJV I’m in a bit of a place, and have been for a while now. My thoughts have been on this bitterness I’ve been drinking, begging for it to be removed. Or perhaps for … Continue reading This Cup
My Soul
“It is well with my soul…” (Horatio Spafford “When Peace Like a River”) Do we have the humility to claim that statement? Pride often prevents us from accepting blessings. Does that sound odd to you? Wouldn’t you think that pride deserves accolades? Pride is boastful, after all, right? Pride puffs up, right? So wouldn’t blessings … Continue reading My Soul
One
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;” Ephesians 4:4 (KJV) “Your calling”… we each have our gift that contributes to the one body of the Bride of Christ. Some are given the gift of prophecy, others the gift of service…some people can speak in … Continue reading One
