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
Strings
My feet planted firmly on the ground Slip and slide beneath meAs my arms stretched out wideTwisted and pulled violently Eyes dart back and forth Taking stock of everything Hearing voices sounding wordsBut not fully comprehending Rooted in place, still as can beTrying to go unnoticed But here I am on display The puppet center, … Continue reading Strings
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
Pity
When anger turns to pity…what a transformation to behold! Recently a situation occurred where a choice was to be made: go here or there… Though many thought the choice obvious, the person decided to go there, instead. The need was so great for both places yet the decision caused much anger unbeknownst by the person … Continue reading Pity
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…
Listening
Sitting outside listening to the birds sing… oh to be that happy and carefree! I am so tired of fighting… I feel like every day is a battle… There is so much strife in life, in work, in everything, and I’m just so tired. Tell me what to do, Lord, I’m listening for your Word. … Continue reading Listening
