Rarely do we ever have it easy… especially on multiple fronts… usually, life hits us from several sides at once. All the negativity-all we do is complain to each other and about each other. I mean sometimes, we need to vent, you know, let out a little steam. Sometimes we need to share a little … Continue reading Just Thoughts

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
The Sun
We say that God is the sun; we equate His glory to the light of the sun. But God created the sun. He is Lord over the sun. We don’t worship the creation, we worship the Creator. And that’s the problem: we sit here and put things like the beach, the mountains, the sunrise…all this … Continue reading The Sun
Thought for the Day
Every now and then, I have a “thought for the day” that I write and share with a few close friends. Today the thought was from Colossians. I want to share what I wrote for today, but first tell a little story. Like other parents out there, I try so hard to keep up with … Continue reading Thought for the Day
Farther
Farther along…but just how much farther do we have? Every journey has a destination…some trips last longer than others. Some roads are bumpy. Some are smooth. Some roads stretch on straight out before us as far as we can see, while others have hairpin curves, twists and turns leaving us holding on for dear life. … Continue reading Farther
Walking
On my walk today, I was reminded of the need to breathe. Sometimes life has a way of making you stop or slow down and focus on your breathing for a moment. And I was reminded to take a minute and look around at all God’s glory. Just take a moment and listen to the … Continue reading Walking
How Often…
How often do we lie to ourselves? When we look into the mirror, do we see ourselves as we are, or do we see our reflection distorted by our imagination? Do we show ourselves any grace? How often do we tell ourselves we’re not good enough? How often do we put ourselves down? How often … Continue reading How Often…
Butterflies
Sometimes I just need to draw a butterfly… When I start to panic and think about drawing some lines, I try to think “butterfly.” Let's try to be positive and spread some cheer instead of hurt and pain. What if we change, not just how we look, but how we see? You know the caterpillar … Continue reading Butterflies
